Flying-bird,
Allow me to extend a courtious and professional welcome to you here on this forum. I am not one of the moderators, nor am I involved in the management or running of this forum. I, like yourself, am merely a contributer.
I am sure you will have realised by now that there is a general negative feeling towards representatives of the press and media here. This is not strictly a view directed at you personally. However, the phrase 'tarred with the same brush' is relevant.
This view is widely held within the proffesional aviation community, and it is based purely on experience, as you will have read above.
Within my own lifetime, I have had the misfortune to have lost a number of friends in aviation. They were all professionals and acted accordingly. This never prevented the media from presenting, at best distorted, at worst completely fabricated, reports of events and background leading up to events.
However, let this not disuade you from your path. Should you consider yourself to be a professional within your chosen field, may I suggest you link or post here some of your previous, published work regarding aviation and allow those professionals here to review. Should you have a proven track record of published, unbiased, impartial, truthful and, most importantly, accurate works, then, and only then, would you potentially be taken seriously here.
I anticipate your positive response with interest.
