He's a throwback, in a good way, to what journalism once was and increasingly is no longer. As a print editor and radio newscaster, I always viewed TV journalism with a skeptical eye ~ for good reason, as the KTVU fiasco proves. However, when viewing Don Knapp's reporting, I always saw and heard a true professional journalist who takes the craft and art of journalism seriously. He's among a rare journalist in today's media. Tech journalism (print and broadcast ~ via videos on Web sites and podcasts) could use a thousand Don Knapps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-41245117742369493902014-01-29T23:37:07.649-08:002014-01-29T23:37:07.649-08:00Thanks for a well-deserved tribute, Rich.

He'll dig deep, ask the insightful questions and give it the human touch in simple but concise, well-crafted language. Don is simply the best there is, and without a trace of star ego. He's also one of the nicest human beings you'll ever have the pleasure to talk to, if you're ever lucky enough to meet him. Don Knapp is a Bay Area treasure, and we're so lucky to have him.

You crap all over FOX as an "extreme opinions" outlet, but it is your corrupt bankrupt administration that has set the stage for all of this downturn.

Kids coming out of college would be well advised to study how this guy performs his craft, because that's how TV reporters are supposed to do it! Unfortunately, Don is part of a dying breed as the broadcast industry has consolidated, and many of the true broadcasters have been either shoved out the door or quit, only to be replaced by many rank amateurs with limited experience. As a result, America is getting far less full and complete coverage of stories, and it's one of the great ironies of our time. With more instantaneous coverage on radio, TV, the internet, etc, than ever before, there are fewer true journalists out there than in a long time. It's one of the many reasons this country has been dumbed down and it has allowed also allowed mega-media companies with a strong political agenda such as Fox to foist their extreme opinions instead of covering the news in a clear, objective manner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-64138606721402161512014-01-29T18:56:23.720-08:002014-01-29T18:56:23.720-08:00and he has a great heart and he's pretty cute ...and he has a great heart and he's pretty cute too!Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-83862188966967968032014-01-29T17:22:15.017-08:002014-01-29T17:22:15.017-08:00Don is the best reporter I've ever worked with...Don is the best reporter I've ever worked with in 25+ years.
