Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: Because there's too many reporters. Here's my speculation: We can only every have X number of politicians in Washington, so that number will stay constant. Reporters, though, are a dime a dozen. As a result, journalists will do everything in their power to ....
Comment preview: Mostly because he's so toxic himself. To answer your question...I can't speak for other people, but as for myself seeing him through Stacraft: I think he's a real journalist who does real work. I think that work is valuable in that no one else is actuall ....
Comment preview: This top-down, supply-side explanation misses a critical element: the demand just isn't there. Yes supply costs are higher for better and more investigative journalism. But companies would be willing to pay those costs if they generated more revenue--i.e. ....
Comment preview: Guys I am in agreement with most people here that it's a scandal more MOH's have not been awarded in the last 11 years of conflict. But in this particular case I feel like the evidence just does not justify the Medal of Honor. Even the article from Washing ....
Comment preview: He also seems to have been content so far with working with the Guardian. Snowden's documents leading to a scoop by the Independent seems a little bizarre. edit: Snowden claims he is not the source, and hypothesises that it was the UK government. http://ww ....
Comment preview: In Vietnam journalists had less censorship from the army so we saw all those famous photos of burning children and guys shot in the head. Everyone watched the nightly news and they actually covered it with real journalists trying to scoop real stories. Thi ....
Comment preview: Watching the [whole documentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TPTqBMbpKo) will give you a much better understanding of the situation. This comes at a point when he is talking about being tired of being asked the same pointless questions in the many int ....
Comment preview: It's all about access and the rapid erosion of investigative journalism. Instead of paying someone to put together a good story, so ferret out the The Truth^TM of things, you instead have a human being with some recording equipment capturing every aspect o ....
Comment preview: Look, the question of disclosure, like most ethical dilemmas, is never black and white. One thing I've noticed while reading KIA is this tendency for people here to view everything as two-sided, whether that's the "Gamergate vs. anti-Gamergate" battle, eth ....
Comment preview: It's perfectly sensible just incredibly confusing. Journalists have sources they rely on. They protect their sources' identities so they keep getting fed info and so future sources will come to them. This is why this subreddit's obsession with quotes is so ....
Comment preview: You think that's bad. Check out Mike Florio's hurt butt http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/06/13/evan-mathis-strikes-again/ Or here it is if you don't want to patronize his shitty articles with another site hit: >Good one, Evan. Now grow up. > ....
Comment preview: I've ranted and raved against ESPN a few times on reddit... Here it goes again! ESPN is crap. Total crap. Most of their most famous personalities have just become caricatures of themselves. Doesn't it some times seem like Chris Berman is just doing a (kind ....
Comment preview: My dad actually personally knew Gary Webb. He said this about him in an email when he had heard that the movie was coming out: "Gary was probably my closest personal friend in Cleveland when he was here. I represented him in several suits to gain access ....
Comment preview: We are still at that stage of discovery where the extent of the NSA's reach is being revealed, layer by agonizingly hidden layer. There are many layers yet to unpeel, and only then can we get down to the real business of what they have DONE with that deep ....
Comment preview: This fight she picked with Clara Jeffery, the co-editor of Mother Jones, who was confused about the $20K research budget The Intercept offered her...is...well, I guess predictable: https://twitter.com/ClaraJeffery/status/555866348023083011 > CJ: Wait, @ ....
Comment preview: I really don't know what to say...I saw the first headline about an hour ago, and I can't say I've done much more since then but stare at my computer screen and just think. I've never been the slightest bit choked up over a celebrity's death - even if I wa ....
Comment preview: So when I was president we had a philanthropy. For some context, our house is located across from the dorms in the direction of the bars, so it's not uncommon for drunk freshman to walk past our house on the way home. Anyways, this one particularly inebria ....
Comment preview: Okay. So.. Team Liquid is behind the site, with Hotbid being the writer of most of the articles. And they wanted to keep it anonymous to not taint the articles with people having misconceptions about biases. And the point of the article is that there shoul ....
Comment preview: Did you see the emails circulated after the Paris shooting? They do some good investigative stuff sure, but a large part of them is being the propaganda wing of the sunni gulf states. From the Economist last week. >Some regard the mother of all independ ....
Comment preview: That's being a little unfair. Allen Iverson was the number one story in the NBA for a while, and during that time, Stephen A. Smith was THE Sixers reporter. Really, in those early 2000's AI was the most interesting single figure in the entire league. No ....
Comment preview: Tripp Tracy scurried around the United Center. He had heard rumors of a locker room fight going on in the Blackhawks locker room, and with his investigative journalism skills, desired to get down to the nitty, gritty, truth. Having had a terrible encounter ....
Comment preview: I've got the craziest story about this documentary. I was on my way to an airport in Cranbrook, BC, and I was chatting with my cab driver. I told him I was a journalist well, I wrote for my university paper back then and he mentioned that he liked the ....
Comment preview: This is really well said. For those that don't know about Meltzer, it's easy to dump him into a "dirtsheet" category. And, if you only visit sites like wrestle-whatever and lordofpain.net, who copy and paste parts of his newsletter and quote him out of co ....
Comment preview: OOK since everyone is so wrapped up in the "that's sexist" argument, lets throw around things like historical context and gender politics of the time AT THE TIME women were only "allowed" to contribute columns based on domestic care and social notes. They ....
