I'm convinced you can combine this with reporting integrity and accuracy.

Good reporting is good reporting, regardless of the newness or oldness of the medium.

Constantly probe the people who report to you, and encourage them to probe you.

It's not just that reporting gives you a bigger slice of life, gives - lends verisimilitude to what you are doing - it's that it feeds the imagination.

Reporting provides reminders that things are always more complicated than you think.

A big part of reporting is just being present. You have to show up ten days in a row to get the one telling detail.

I do most of my business on that dirty Internet that you were just talking about, where I find there is a lot of freedom to report exactly what I want.

In some ways the domestic reporting is a lot easier because Americans will talk to you about anything.

Its pretty rare for companies to have a snooping policy, although it is getting more common.
