Stewart discussion are: <br> <br>1. Define and Know Your Audience? As Steward points out in the 3rd video is Cramer reporting for the wall street brokers or those in the work force whose retirement accounts are at stake? <br> <br>2. What is your responsibility to that audience? Do you simply report what is going on day to day and try best to explain what happened or do you take a more involved roll becoming an investigative journalist and dig up the real issues. <br> <br>3. The fine line that the media must walk with sources. As Cramer said he knew and trusted many of these CEOs for years, they were his friends. Journalists need to be able to make the distinction between friend and source. I think the most important takeaways from the Cramer v. Stewart discussion are:
