I m frankly not surprised this guy ended up writing fiction: when you only look at the world through a glass, it stops being real to you. it is becoming almost impossible to find eyewitness journalists. OTOH, connected journalism can only be useful in extraordinary cases that can be verified via online channels or which involve anonymity (E.g. snowden case) Is that the natural endgame of journalism? who knows They have become narrative creators. They create a number of narratives, and people attach to the one that fits their preconceptions. Reality doesn't matter that much.
