Losing the News, Alex S. Jones and The Future of the News That Feeds Democracy

It's a good read... but we have come to expect that from Robert.
Losing the News, Alex S. Jones and The Future of the News That Feeds Democracy:

"Part of the reason I was approached by the Times to do work for them was that I was outside of the newspaper world. I had not cut my teeth on newspapers, I did not go to J-school, I had never shot a grin and grab nor a high school soccer game. I don’t have that memory bank of solutions to photo problems that go through a 24mm lens close to the subject if you know what I mean. Which is not to disparage what journalists have to do. There are necessary limits implied by the mandate, I will get back to that."
