2008, still very interesting.
- flatfilefan 8y agoI always wonder why aren’t there “ten years gone” follow up articles. Like what has happened with crows in Japan since 2008? Media should do more of that as a matter of routine.
- corey_moncure 8y agoSensationalism has thoroughly overwhelmed journalism.
- stinos 8y agoAgreed so much. Can't even count the number of times I thought 'what would have happened to ... after all these years?'. From time to time I do see for example documentaries going back to places years after a disaster (Fukushima, BP Gulf, ...) but that's from actively looking for them. Hardly ever this pops up in the news. Well, it's maybe not literally 'news' but if I see the amount of rather trivial events which do make it to the news I really think some money in media/journalism could be better spent. They spend weeks and weeks of reporting the same thing again and again when some major event is fresh but then it all dies out.
- hackermailman 8y agoThe media seems to only rehash an event if it contains political talking points they can use. The only follow ups you'll find is in journals/Google scholar.
- joveian 8y agoWikipedia can sometimes be good for this. But I agree, if they report about something they should report on what happens later.
- lioeters 8y agoTotally agree with this idea of long-term follow-up articles, I wish there was more of that.
- jmartrican 8y agoThat's the main reason I went to the comments, to see if anyone here had an update.
