Online, you have things like Slate Magazine, which has a lot of commentary and analysis of stories, so it gives you a fuller picture. I would compare that to a news magazine or the New Republic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that a great newspaper is one that puts a real premium on digging to get the story behind the story.
I have an aversion to news nuggets, so I find myself looking for sites that offer more analysis.
You will always have partial points of view, and you'll always have the story behind the story that hasn't come out yet. And any form of journalism you're involved with is going to be up against a biased viewpoint and partial knowledge.
I read the 'Times' and 'Post,' but I have nothing against the 'Daily News.' I also fish around the Internet for entertainment news but find most of what I read to be untrue or partially true.
Magazine stories, the best ones anyway, are generally a combination of three elements: access, narrative, and disclosure.
The first information I consume in the morning is probably 'The New York Times' and then my Twitter feed. I think Twitter is a really fascinating, easy way to stay on top of what stories are out there.
Great journalism will always attract readers. The words, pictures and graphics that are the stuff of journalism have to be brilliantly packaged; they must feed the mind and move the heart.
I read the 'New York Times,' 'USA Today,' the 'Union-Tribune,' then go online to Drudge, CNN, Fox News, blogs.
You have to go where the story is to report on it. As a journalist, you're essentially running to things that other people are running away from.
I don't like to read. The only things I read are gossip columns. If someone gives me a book, it had better have lots of pictures.
