Soledad O’Brien: Seek Out the Curious and the Fastidious
Ms. O’Brien, chief of the production company Starfish Media Group and a former CNN anchor, says you can’t teach curiosity or attention to detail.Doing journalism well is a rare thing.
The editor is essential.
The news editor should not have to worry about the business model.
A city is an economic entity as is a nation state.
The fires and the murders are mostly entertainment.
We need to know when they affect the organization of the city.
Infrastructure changes are required reading.
They directly affect how a city lives.
Realestate law is part of infrastructure.
