Jim, Thanks for giving us some insight into the media. I find it sad that there seems to be a bias toward sensationalism in order to be considered newsworthy. On occasion, I do see great pieces in print or good interviews on the radio or television about stuttering, and I certainly celebrate those. As Judy pointed out at the beginning of your comments section, it will take many people talking about stuttering to really get the word out. As an SLP, I am so thankful for all of the folks who stutter who continue to be willing to do this, including you. Best regards, Lynne
