NCCPR Child Welfare Blog: Covering foster care: Overriding the “Veto of Silence”: " Yesterday, I wrote about some of the reasons why so many reporters won’t even look into a story about parents who say their children were taken from them needlessly. And I wrote about an exception: Issac Bailey, metro columnist for The Sun News in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Bailey is not one of those sit-on-your-ass-and-pontificate columnists; content, week after week, to regurgitate what reporters found and add some declarations of outrage. (In all of journalism is there anything easier to do than spit out the “boy to I hate child abuse!” column?)"

Gov.-elect Dan Malloy pledged to seek out the “best and the brightest” in assembling the members of his administration. His decision this week to appoint state Supreme Court Justice Joette Katz to lead the state’s Department of Children and Families is clearly a fulfillment of that pledge.
