What was ‘Traditional Journalism’?
It was the days when print journalism dominated the news cycle, when readers became ‘glued’ to their morning or afternoon newspaper. God was moving… and so were ‘Traditional Journalists.’
· Who wouldn’t want to witness… the wheels of government and justice moving, whether in County Commission, Board of Education, or Federal Court proceedings lasting weeks-and you had a ringside seat?
· Who wouldn’t want to rush… to the scene of a nighttime grocery store robbery only to find, along with police swarming into the back portion of that store, the butcher strapped to a chair, trying not to move from where-and how-his assailants left him?
· Who wouldn’t want to sit… in the inner sanctum of an Alabama governor as he fought legislatively in the ‘city of compromise, ‘ passing bills worth watching on the Senate/House doors… or the night before the real passage, in the backroom of a chicken shack ‘off campus’?
· Who wouldn’t want to ‘just hold on!’… standing between the front seats of driver and passenger in an ambulance on Halloween night-racing to the
scene of some bizarre ‘full moon’ births, robberies, res, or even murders born of domestic troubles?

John Brightman Brock is a veteran journalist of newspapers and magazines in three states from the years 1977 to 2019. Reared in a Christian home, and with high hopes of success, Brock one day answered God’s call to be led by the Holy Spirit. That decision whisked him away from aspiring toward a medical degree and, instead, had him a few years later-pen and pad in hand-‘journaling my world, ‘ he says. It was a world of community and statewide events, where he and those whom he knew had been placed by a loving God. Nothing random. Nothing coincidental.He would write about the political moves of four governors, sometimes with exclusive interviews. At times, Brock talked one-on-one with entertainers and nationally- recognized politicians, musicians, or writers. At other times, he found himself standing in situations of danger, including his own near-death experiences that would shape his faith. He was always ‘standing in the need of prayer.’
