The theory independent. Their was that if we don’t failures do not make present a united front, them evil; they Trump will outﬂank reporters who have make them human.” Contributing Columnist legitimate questions by signaling them out for abuse. ”United we stand, divided we fall” is a nice sentiment, but I trip over the particulars. Who isthe “we” in that statement? Is it the weak, sad lamestream media of Trump’s Tweets? Is it the brash web newcomers like Buzzfeed and Hufﬁngton Post? Does it include the bloggers who regularly write and rant on politics and public policy? Should it include news sources with their own political slant, such as FOX, MSNBC and the Breitbart News Network? For me, it is not a philosophical issue. It’s a question I have to deal with as a teacher of journalism at Bryn Mawr College. My students are the very deﬁnition of modern media consumers. They are cafeteria consumers: picking and choosing what information to ingest from myriad sources. In class, I don’t even try to deﬁne the maze that is today’s news media. I have found it more useful to deﬁne what journalism is. For this I draw on a book called “The Elements of Journalism” by Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel, veterans of The New York Times and Los Angeles Times, respectively, who went on to work in journalism research and advocacy. At the beginning of the new century, Kovach and Rosenstiel, in assessing the emerging (and chaotic) media environment, gathered fellow journalists, academics, and others to try to get a handle on journalism. They had a feeling that journalists had grown uncertain about their status and their mission. They emerged from this process with a clear message: Best not to concentrate on the medium, but the product. They were humble enough not to take on journalism globally, but just America. Their ﬁndings can be expressed in this deﬁnition: American journalism is independent, factbased, veriﬁed reporting that serves the public. Each word has a deeper meaning. For instance, I usually have a large cadre of international students take my class — students from China, Pakistan, India, and Russia, to name a —Tom Ferrick Jr. few countries. To them, independent means not state-owned or controlled. Closer to home, it means reporting that is not ideologically or politically driven or, more mundanely, based on selling your soul to a politician or a publicist to get access. Fact-based should be self-evident, or at least it was at one time. Journalists don’t make stuff up. We observe, we report, we write what we have seen or learned. Veriﬁed means what it says. You not only must believe something is true, you must prove it. Journalism’s “essence is the discipline of veriﬁcation,” as the authors put it. Buzzfeed violated that rule by printing an unveriﬁed, report from a partisan source — and then claimed it was doing it as a public service. It did not serve the public. In my career as a reporter, I’ve often been exposed to specious polls, reports and tips that purport to reveal the truth, usually about opposing candidates. I have tried to check them out — if they sounded plausible — but almost always came up empty. It’s harder in today’s media environment to avoid such “exclusives” but printing them does nothing to serve the public, even if you win the race for clicks. Some might ﬁnd the Kovach-Rosenstiel book hard to take because it portrays journalists almost as members of a holy order, given a scared mission by our Founding Fathers of serving democracy through truth telling. It doesn’t jibe with the modern perception that journalists are just a cynical bunch who will do anything to get a story or, at the old phrase went, to sell newspapers. Journalists do tend to be cynical. They are tempted to produce stories as click bait. They do violate rules of fairness. They do mangle or, worse, make up facts. As a profession, we are guilty of sins mortal and venial. But, most of the journalists I know do care deeply about the truth; they feel driven to serve the watchdog role; they try their best to be fair and independent. Their failures do not make them evil; they make See MEDIA | 5 THEIR VIEW Old enough to not care shown onto my I’m old enough bare bottom the to know how to doctor was smackget out of rain.

Yet, I don’t feel even 40 and why shouldn’t changing my age be as simple as changing my phone number? The number is irrelevant—until time to collect social security or get a free cake and “Happy Birthday” sung to me at Chili’s—it’s how I feel that matters. Besides, I wonder if I had thought I was 78 instead of 48, would I have expected to be less healthy, less vibrant and actually created those conditions within? Would my thoughts have created my age reality just as I believe it creates my entire world? Within our dormant DNA strands lie many possibilities just waiting for encouragement to come to life. Scientiﬁc discoveries show that within the DNA of reptiles lies a gene that can and does grow feathers so it’s possible that we could talk ourselves into being old before our time.

That’s because visiting River Valley, in doubling up the Belpre Golden Eagles 60-31 in the opening three quarters, captured a 74-49 non-league boys basketball victory on Saturday night. River Valley is a member of the TVC-Ohio and Belpre the TVC-Hocking, as the Raiders — winning their fourth game in their last ﬁve — have now won four tilts over TVC-Hocking foes. The Raiders, in raising their record to 5-9, have also toppled Eastern, Federal Hocking and South Gallia from that division. River Valley also owns a non-league win over Ohio Valley Christian. The Golden Eagles, which outscored the Silver and Black 18-14 in the fourth quarter, fell to 3-9. The Raiders racked up an 18-6 advantage after the initial period, then doubled up Belpre 20-10 in the second to lead 38-16 at halftime. River Valley then amassed 22 points in the third frame, while the Golden Eagles amounted 15. Despite shooting just 3-of-15 from three-point range, committing 24 turnovers and only making half (11) of their 22 free-throw attempts, the Raiders went a warm 27-of-50 (54-percent) from inside the arc — part of a 30-15 advantage in total ﬁeld goals. The Eagles amassed 16-of-18 free throws, but shot a cold 24-percent (15-of-62) — including 3-of-21 (14-percent) from deep. Belpre also committed 20 turnovers, as River Valley dominated in rebounding 55-29. The Raiders recorded an 18-7 edge in offensive boards, and shut out the Eagles 12-0 in secondchance points. River Valley also collected 22 assists, and made off with 15 steals. Dustin Barber, on six total ﬁeld goals and 4-of-6 free throws, paced the Raiders with a game-high 17 points.

Lady Oaks hold off Eastern, 58-52 By Alex Hawley ahawley@civitasmedia.com TUPPERS PLAINS, Ohio — One team entered with a four-game winning streak, the other team left with one. The Eastern girls basketball team had its four-game winning streak come to an end on Saturday afternoon at ‘The Nest’, as non-conference guest Oak Hill took a 58-52 overtime victory, giving the Lady Oaks their fourth straight win. Eastern (11-2) never trailed in the ﬁrst half, leading 16-to-10 by the end of the ﬁrst quarter. The Lady Eagles led by as much as 15, at 28-13, 5:30 into the second quarter, but the Lady Oaks (10-3) ended the half with an 11-2 run, cutting the EHS lead to 30-24 at the halftime break. The Lady Eagles began the second half with a 9-2 run, pushing the lead to 39-26 with 4:40 left in the third. Eastern only scored two more points in the period, however, as Oak Hill cut the deﬁcit to 41-36 with eight minutes to play. Eastern was held scoreless for the ﬁrst four minutes of the fourth quarter, and the Lady Oaks took their ﬁrst lead of the game at 42-41, with 4:48 remaining in the period. The Lady Eagles regained the lead with a pair of free throws at the 3:54 mark of the quarter, but Oak Hill answered with a three-pointer and never trailed again. The Lady Oaks scored four of the next six points, extending their lead to 49-45 with two minutes left. OHHS didn’t score in the ﬁnal two minutes of regulation, going 0-for-3 from the charity stripe. EHS sophomore Becca Pullins sank a trifecta with 1:50 remaining and Kelsey Casto added a free throw with four seconds left, as the Lady Eagles tied the game at 49 and forced overtime. The Lady Oaks broke the tie with 3:17 left, when Brianna Blanton converted an and-1 layup. Eastern pulled within one on a layup by Casto with 2:57 left, but OHHS ended the game with a 6-1 run, sealing the 58-52 victory. “The girls came out, jumped on them early and played hard,” EHS head coach Jacob Parker said. “We looked really, really good, and then a few things happened in the ball game that just took our focus away a little bit. That’s what we need to work on as a team, keeping that focus, and I think we’ll be right there. Take nothing away from Oak Hill.” On Saturday, depth was a major factor for Eastern, which entered the game with eight healthy players. The Lady Eagles lost Madison Williams to injury in the ﬁrst quarter and had both Alyson Bailey and Elizabeth Collins foul out in the fourth quarter and overtime period respectively. “I can’t stress enough how proud I am of the girls,” said Coach Parker. “I think we saw the most adversity that we’ll ever see in a game, today. We, for the most part, responded. When a couple of players go down and you don’t have a deep bench, it does make it for a rough night, but the girls just gritted their teeth and played through it.” For the game, Eastern held a narrow 26-to-25 rebounding edge, with both teams pulling in 10 offensive boards. Eastern committed turnovers, two more than Oak Hill. Both teams ﬁnished with 14 assists, with OHHS holding a 16-to-13 steals advantage and Eastern claiming a 4-to-2 edge in blocked shots. The Lady Eagles shot 18-of-47 (38.3 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 6-of-19 (31.6 percent) from three-point range. Meanwhile, OHHS was 21-of-47 (44.7 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 7-of-15 (46.7 percent) from deep. Eastern made 10-of-17 (58.8 percent) free throw attempts, while the Lady Oaks were 9-of-17 (52.9 percent) from the line. The EHS offense was led by senior Laura Pullins with 21 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Becca Pullins scored nine points, Jess Parker added eight points, while Elizabeth Collins marked six points, eight rebounds and ﬁve assists. Rounding out the scoring column for the Green, White and Gold were Alyson Bailey with ﬁve points and Kelsey Casto with three. Laura Pullins also led the EHS defense with four steals and two rejections, while Parker added four steals and Collins blocked two shots. Bethany Blanton led the Lady Oaks with 32 points, seven rebounds and ﬁve assists. Brianna Blanton with next with nine points and six assists, while Caitlyn Brisker chipped in with seven points. Jalea Caldwell and Carlee Dempsey rounded out the OHHS scoring with ﬁve points apiece.

(AP) — Chris Boswell’s pinpoint right leg and Le’Veon Bell’s two dancing feet. They do call it football, after all. Indeed, Bell spent much of Sunday watching the ﬁlm “Happy Feet.” “I wasn’t nervous about the game,” Bell said. “I don’t watch ESPN or NFL Live, because I know they’ll talk about the game. I don’t necessarily want to think about the game. “I watch stuff like ‘Happy Feet.’” Who needs to reach the end zone when you have Bell chewing up yards and the clock, and Boswell setting an NFL playoff record with six ﬁeld goals? Throw in a stingy Pittsburgh defense for most of Sunday night, and a multitude of mistakes by Kansas City, and the Steelers’ 18-16 victory sent them into the AFC championship game. Panthers learned something that will help us later on in the season.” The Big Blacks netted 13-of-37 ﬁeld goal attempts for 35 percent, including a 6-of-22 effort from three-point range for 27 percent. The hosts also made an impressive 16-of-18 free throw attempts for 89 percent. Workman led Point Pleasant with ﬁve trifectas and a game-high 21 points, followed by Rairden with seven markers. Cason Payne and Will Harbour were next with six points apiece, with Harbour adding a team-best six rebounds. Camron Long was next with three points and Trace Derenberger chipped in two markers, while Austin Liptrap rounded out the scoring with one point. Workman also hauled in three caroms for the Red and Black, while Payne and Matthew Martin each brought down two boards. The Panthers had a quintet of players account for all of their scoring, with all ﬁve also reaching double digits in the triumph. LCHS netted 22-of-45 shot attempts for 49 percent, which included a 7-of-17 effort from behind the arc for 41 percent. Corey Rusk led the guests with 16 points, followed by Nate Spencer with 13 points and Kirkendall with 11 markers. Caleb Rusk and Jake Ashley also chipped in 10 points apiece for the victors, who were 9-of-13 at the charity stripe for 69 percent. Kirkendall led Lincoln County with a gamehigh eight rebounds, followed by Spencer and Ashley with ﬁve caroms apiece. Point Pleasant returns to action Tuesday when it hosts Meigs in a non-conference tilt at 7 p.m. From page 6 charge over the next six minutes en route to their ﬁrst double-digit lead at 56-46, then converted four consecutive free throws in the ﬁnal 40 seconds to wrap up their largest lead of the night with a 14-point triumph. After playing at such a high level for nearly six-and-a-half quarters over a 24-hour span, Point Pleasant appeared to simply hit the wall over the ﬁnal 10 minutes of regulation during a 25-10 LCHS charge. The Big Blacks committed only nine of the 20 turnovers in the contest, but the hosts were outrebounded by a sizable 26-17 overall margin — which included a 7-4 deﬁcit on the offensive glass. PPHS coach Josh Williams acknowledged that his squad played a solid game from certain aspects, but he never felt that they were the hungrier of the two teams on the ﬂoor — and that was one of the big things that came back to bite them. “The kids gave a good effort, but we never seemed to match that same intensity level that we had the night before against Hannan,” Williams said. “We weren’t diving on the ﬂoor after loose balls and we didn’t get many second chances on the boards tonight. Lincoln County certainly had a lot to do with that, but we just didn’t seem to have that same focus that we normally do. “It’s not easy to play games on back to back nights, especially coming off a big win in county, but part of why we scheduled this was because we thought it would be a good test for our guys. We may not have passed this test at the end of the night, but I think everybody Raiders Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101.

However, in a battle of attrition on Saturday against visiting River Valley, South Gallia got to the ﬁnish line ﬁrst. In rallying late in regulation, and overcoming Erin Jackson’s heart-stopping buzzerbeating shot in overtime, the Lady Rebels — somehow, someway — found a way to defeat the rival Raiders 68-62 in double-overtime in a non-league girls basketball tilt. That’s correct. South Gallia, playing its ﬁfth game in eight days on Saturday, didn’t exactly always play well — including committing several turnovers and shooting a dismal 16-of-41 from the free-throw line. However, the Rebels rallied from a 23-18 halftime deﬁcit — and even more noteworthy a pair of six-point holes (36-30 and 38-32) in the fourth quarter. And, in a nip-andtuck contest that featured six ties and seven lead changes, the Lady Rebels gained their ﬁnal lead with 14 seconds left in the initial overtime — when freshman Alyssa Cremeans canned a threepointer for her only points of the game. After River Valley’s Jackson jacked a catchand-shoot three-ball — and swished the shot for a 57-57 tie and a second overtime — the Lady Rebels scored the opening ﬁve points of the second extra session, and fought off a Lady Raider comeback bid. While turnovers and jump balls were too many to count, and missed free throws for both clubs were a constant, so too were girls fouling out — four for River Valley and three for South Gallia. Although, despite no seniors on the entire squad, the Lady Rebels became the veteran team as regulation resulted into overtimes. “This was a huge game for us. It just showed how much we’ve grown as a team, because we are so young with no seniors,” said South Gallia coach Corey Small. “Kids just stepped up. We usually only go about seven deep, but today we had to go eight and nine. This was a big team win. We missed a lot of free throws, but we made some big ones down the stretch. Give River Valley credit. They played a heck of a game and ﬁnished the game with four players, but they never quit. In the second overtime, I know our kids were tired, they were gassed, but they stepped up. I’m happy and I’ll take this win.” By that second overtime, the Lady Raiders — which sported just eight players on Saturday — had already fouled out forward Maggie Campbell, point guard Beth Gillman and center Jessica Steele. Jackson made a pair of free throws for a 62-59 deﬁcit, but was whistled for her ﬁfth foul with a minute and 52 seconds to play. River Valley’s Savannah Reese rained in Photos by Paul Boggs/OVP Sports River Valley’s Jessica Steele and South Gallia’s Christine Griffith both battle for a rebound during Saturday’s non-league girls basketball game at South Gallia High School.

Erin Evans, who paced the Lady Rebels by pouring in a career-high 24 points, amassed three ﬁnal free throws in the ﬁnal 26 seconds for the 68-62 triumph. She ﬁnished with seven ﬁeld goals including three threes, and sank seven of a dozen foul shots. With both teams desperately needing a victory, South Gallia improved to 3-9, while River Valley fell to 2-12. The Raiders returned to non-league action on Monday night at Belpre, but Saturday — in their view — should have resulted in a win. “Having girls foul out really ended up hurting us at the end, but it was just tough all the way around. We didn’t play our best ball at all during this game. The girls played hard, but we’re still learning and trying to get better. We’re still in the improvement process and there is a lot from this game we can improve on,” said River Valley coach Stephen Roderick. “This is a tough one and is going to sit with us for a while. We needed this one and I think we’re all frustrated right now.” Roderick added that momentum was on the Silver and Black’s side entering the second overtime — after Jackson drained her topof-the-key three off the inbounds pass with .9 seconds on the clock. She quickly caught the ball, squared up and launched a set shot — stunning South Gallia as the buzzer sounded. “Going into the second overtime, I thought we would ﬁnish it out. But we had some young girls in there in an extreme pressure situation, and they didn’t handle it that well,” said Roderick. “Then when Erin fouls out, we have no senior leaders out there and it’s hard to play 5-on-4.” Jackson ﬁnished with a game-high 25 points, notching ﬁve total ﬁeld goals and making 13-of17 free throws. As a team, the Raiders shot 21-of-33 from the stripe, but couldn’t land that one to end the game in regulation. Jackson’s freebies were the only foul shots River Valley attempted in either overtime. South Gallia’s Amaya Howell hit three free throws in the two extra frames — to go along with her three threes and one two in regulation for 14 points. Kiley Stapleton scored seven fourthperiod points on two baskets and 3-of-4 free throws, while Aaliyah Howell had two buckets and two foul shots for six. Olivia Hornsby, on a two and a three, and Christine Grifﬁth — on two ﬁeld goals and a free throw — each added ﬁve. River Valley’s Jaden Neal netted four ﬁeld goals, including three trifectas, and 2-of-4 free throws for 13 points — as Steele scored three buckets and 5-of-9 foul shots for 11. She picked up her ﬁfth foul only a minute and 21 seconds into the ﬁrst overtime. Reese recorded eight points on three total ﬁeld goals, as Gillman garnered two baskets. Cierra Roberts registered a free throw with 1:14 left in regulation that made it 48-47 River Valley, but Aaliyah Howell had the game-tying free throw with 21 seconds to play. Both teams tallied 20 points apiece in the back-and-forth fourth quarter — after a backand-forth ﬁrst three stanzas that saw the score tied 28-28. South Gallia led 15-10 after the ﬁrst canto, but the Lady Raiders outscored the Rebels 13-3 in the second — to lead 23-18 at halftime.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — After another improbable throw from Aaron Rodgers that propelled the Green Bay Packers to a playoff win, coach Mike McCarthy was asked if it was the best one yet from his star quarterback. “It’s the best one today, that’s for sure,” McCarthy said after a wild 34-31 divisional playoff win Sunday over the Dallas Cowboys that was the Packers’ eighth straight and sent them to the NFC championship game. “He’s an incredible player, incredible talent. And to do it when it’s all on the line like that, that’s what great players do.” Rodgers threw a 36-yard pass to a toe-dragging Jared Cook on the sideline, and Mason Crosby kicked a Automotive Money To Lend Best Deal New & Used NOTICE Borrow Smart.

ORAB, Ohio — The Gallia Academy Blue Devils, despite only sporting ﬁve underclassmen on Saturday, made the most of their wrestling weekend. That’s because the Blue Devils had four grapplers place in the top three of their weight classes — and ﬁnished 10th out of 22 teams in the annual Hammer & Anvil Invitational held at Western Brown High School. The Blue Devils amassed 106 points — as they had one weight-class runner-up followed by three thirds. The ﬁve GAHS matmen competing were seniors Jared Stevens, Kaleb Crisenbery and Hunter Jacks — along with junior Kyle Greenlee and sophomore Jason Stroud. Stevens, in the 126-pound division, was the runner-up at that weight class — going 3-1 on the day while losing in the championship match by a 6-1 decision. Crisenbery at 152, Greenlee at 113 and Jacks at 182 all went 4-1 and placed third — while Stroud wrestled at 106 and lost his two matches by 17-2 technical falls. The Hammer & Anvil is loaded with multiple state placers from both Ohio and Kentucky, as Mason captured the team championship with 421.5 points. Host Western Brown was the team runner-up with 230.5 points, followed by Circleville — the only other Southeast District squad besides the Blue Devils and Hillsboro — with 181.5. Stevens swept through his ﬁrst three matches — with a 9-0 major decision, a 12-4 major decision, and a second-period pin over Sam Ridgley of Lebanon in the semiﬁnals. Colin Schuster of Mason defeated Stevens in the 126 championship match. Crisenbery opened the ﬁrst round with a ﬁrstperiod pin over Gavin Clark of New Richmond, then pinned Dalton McMullen of Blanchester in only six seconds in the second round. Crisenbery then pinned Zack Dillow of ClintonMassie in only 54 seconds, before losing to Western Brown’s Jake Henderson with a 9-2 decision. Crisenbery claimed his third-place match with a 9-0 major decision over John Bates of Lebanon. For Jacks, he won a 13-8 decision over Matthew Welker of Miami East, then pinned Brady Bergefurd of Wilmington and decisioned Blake Justice of Lebanon (7-4). Eric Vermillion of Mason defeated Jacks 15-3 in the semiﬁnals, but Jacks earned a major decision of his own in the third-place match — defeating Franklin’s Hunter Lester 12-2. Greenlee gained a third-period pin over Michael Reyes of Goshen, a ﬁrst-period pin over Matt Huff of Franklin, and a 5-3 decision over Matt Asher of Clinton-Massie. Greenlee lost his semiﬁnal match to Western Brown’s Brandon Lucas by technical fall (17-2), but bounced back to get his third pinfall win over Kaleb Nickels of Miami East. Gallia Academy is back in action this coming weekend (Jan. 20-21) — at the annual WSAZ Invitational in Huntington.

Marc Loving and Jae’Sean Tate each added 12 for the Buckeyes (11-7, 1-4 Big Ten), whose season was on the verge of collapsing after a disastrous start in the conference, inconsistent play and the loss of a key player to season-ending injury. ST. MARYS, W.Va. — It wasn’t entirely pleasant for the White Falcons in Pleasants County. The Wahama wrestling team earned a trio of topfour ﬁnishes and placed eighth out of 17 teams Saturday during the 2017 Blue Devil Alumni Championships held on the campus of St. Marys High School. The White Falcons posted a 12-12 overall record at the event, which included nine pinfall wins and an overall team tally of 64 points. WHS did not have any of its eight grapplers come away with an individual championship in the 14 weight classes, but the Red and White did have one runner-up and a pair of third place efforts. Payton Brewer earned second place in the 138pound division after scoring one pinfall win and a 3-1 overall mark. Braden Weaver scored three pinfall wins and went 3-1 while ﬁnishing third in the heavyweight division, while Trevor Hunt placed third in the 120 weight class after earning two pinfall wins and a 3-1 overall record. Alex Hawley/OVP Sports Wahama’s Trevor Hunt locks in a hold on a Belpre opponent during a 120-pound match on Wednesday, Jan. 11, at Wahama High School in Mason, W.Va. Ethan Herdman suffered an injury in his second match and did not return to action, completing his weekend with a 1-1 mark and one pinfall win at 145 pounds. Trey Peters (120) and Brady Powell (152) also scored a pinfall win apiece as each ﬁnished the event with identical marks of 1-2. Garrett Snouffer (132) and Shawn Taylor (145) suffered setbacks in each of their two respective bouts. Wirt County came away with top honors at the event after posting a winning tally of 161.5 points. Warren (148.0), Parkersburg South JV (113.0), Huntington JV (107.5) and Frankfort (102.5) rounded out the top ﬁve positions, while Cameron (74.0) and Doddridge County (65.0) also ﬁnished ahead of Wahama. Wirt County came away with the most indi- vidual championships with four, with Frankfort, the Parkersburg South JV team and the Huntington JV team each claiming two crowns. Spring Valley, Cameron, Warren and St. Marys also earned one title apiece.

Before she could be removed from the lineup, Baines was assessed with a technical foul that resulted in her ﬁfth personal foul and disqualiﬁcation from the contest. Cheyanna Lusk hit both technical free throws for the Golden Bears and Logan Dudley hit one of her two attempts as part of the personal foul, giving Tech an eight-point cushion entering the ﬁnal stanza. Without the services of their top scorer, top three-point shooter and playmaker for the rest of the contest, the RedStorm got no closer the rest of the way.
