Agreed. Incidentally, Ezra Klein recently (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/04/what_makes_npr_and_the_economi.html http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/04/what_mak...) talked about what made the Economist and the NPR so special, and concluded that:
"...This is a need that is going largely unmet. Both the Economist and NPR are imperfect products, but that's fundamentally what they're doing. It's not quite newsgathering, and it's not straight opinion, though there's occasionally opinion in there. It's analysis. It's how to understand the stuff that other people are reporting and opining. "
Newspapers of the future will probably attempt to answer the question: "here's what happened, now here's why."
- billybob 17y agoI hope so. This is the kind of reporting I enjoy most. I would also love to see the "10 shocking ways your toddler may die - more at 11" kinds of crap end. And I want a pony.
