I fully admit that this particular “Best Of” selection may read more like a personal Valentine than a scrupulously researched exercise in journalistic integrity. In fact, not only can I guarantee a direct and provable conflict of interest, I can promise I’ve abided by none of the ethics and standards in practice expected of accredited members of the media. I accede without reservation, that, at this moment, as a journalist, I’m less Woodward and Bernstein, and more Lenny and Squiggy. Though some North Bay readers may have used their votes to recognize another deserving local radio professional as “best media personality,” only an editor, such as myself, can declare The Best Damn Media Personality. And so it is, as both fan and friend, that I declare Steve Jaxon, the host of The Drive on KSRO, the Best Damn Media Personality of the North Bay. An award-winning daily dose of news, politics, comedy, music and arts, Jaxon’s The Drive also features our weekly segment, The Boho Buzz. With both the personality and pipes—the best in the biz, as it were—Jaxon fills not just the ears of the North Bay, but also its hearts.—DH
