From the supplier: Keith Olberman's rise at ESPN and MSNBC and Gannett Co.'s sales of USA Today both illustrate the point that journalism doesn't always have to be sanctimonious when covering the news. News media outlets should consider taking provocative chances, such as programming Olberman, in making format decisions. USA Today, which was ridiculed as happy news, has seen its circulation take off after the publishers renewed their committment to journalistic professionalism.
