THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

DNC Media Availability
BOSTON, July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Frank Szollosi, 32, a DNC Platform Committeeman & Toledo City Councilman arrived in Boston Friday for a week of baseball & politics surrounding the Democratic National Convention.
Szollosi is available to provide on-site analysis on the battleground state of Ohio from Friday 7/23 through Friday 7/30 in Boston.
As a member of the DNC Platform Committee, Szollosi successfully fought for platform language to address the theme of balancing rights and responsibilities as Americans, as well as language that expresses Democrats' commitment to eliminating hunger. He plans on lobbying Democratic leaders for additional Homeland Security money for cities -- to help prepare our local heroes: fire fighters, police and emergency responders.
As a third generation Democratic politician, Szollosi brings Presidential campaign experience with him to Boston. In 2000 he served as the Gore/Lieberman -- Ohio Coordinated Campaign NW OH Field Director. In 1996 he served on the Clinton-Gore Media Team at Squier, Knapp, Ochs Communications on Capitol Hill. In 1992 he led George Washington University Students for Clinton to campaign during the fabled '92 NH primary. He also brings gov't experience from work in the Clinton White House, Ohio Statehouse, and as a Press Secretary for Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur.
Leaving behind the world famous Toledo Mud Hens for a few days, Szollosi will be at Fenway Park for the Red Sox-Yankees series.
