A trade called "journalism"

From the indispensible Politico:
A reporter was escorted out of a White House event by Secret Service agents on Wednesday afternoon after he approached President Obama to seek an autograph.
Politico was founded to deliver the political reporting not available from major U.S. newspapers. This story is archtypical in that the press at large is pleading for autographs and the Politco is observing and reporting on them.

More please.
