Random quote on Journalism 2

"I fixed my twelve pages with a paper clip and balanced their weight in my hand. What I had written wasn't true. It wasn't written in the pursuit of truth, it wasn't science. It was journalism, magazine journalism, whose ultimate standard was readability."

Joe Rose, fictional science journalist
in Ian McEwan's Enduring Love

Facebook works because it enables user-generated hyper-'local' news.

(Think of a 'local' not defined by geography but by interests and relationships.)
