February 20th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Journalism
“We don’t just cover the news for the sake of telling people what happened; we cover the news to help our communities understand themselves better, so they can improve (…) the trail of a story doesn’t end with the passage of a bill or the resignation of an official. It doesn’t end at all. It merely connects with more and more dots that form an ever-clearer picture of a better society,” writes Newsless.
