Reading lists and the traditional editor
Amy Bellinger talks about Reading Lists.
I think she’s got something there.
I’ll only add that I’ve been thinking that this type of craft could be a role that traditional news editors or media outfits could provide. I mean, that was an important part of their original role, and a good journalist was supposedly just compiling info, not slanting it anyway.
Thousands of sources are great. A trusted source is really great. This could be a way for traditional news people to regain that trust.
Regarding James Taylor and the blues, mentioned by Amy. Well, James could do the blues, but I’ve heard him say it was a throwaway song, almost poking fun at all the young bands that were around that “thought” they could play the blues. Since the song is pretty damn good, he could have just been being modest.
