Balanced journalism


Lawrence Curtis March 6th, 2013

Congratulations for publishing Dr. Dana Stone’s timely and splendidly written “The truth of emergency contraception” (Commentary, Feb. 20, Oklahoma Gazette). Her rationale was validly bolstered by well-supported and cited facts. Her commentary was an effective, appropriate and much-needed contribution to a volatile and poorly understood subject — more accurately, a widely misunderstood and high-profile controversy of the day.

Our society, especially Oklahoma, needs more objective and factual articles such as Dr. Stone’s piece on this controversial aspect of human reproduction.

Juxtaposition of that article with the letter below it, “What about the public good?” by Nathaniel Batchelder, was probably just coincidental. However, both pieces of writing well-illustrate the balanced journalism sadly needed in our literate community.

Please continue such journalistic and civic excellence.

—Lawrence Curtis, Oklahoma City
