An aside (and this comes from me, not from the conversation with Amy): I’ve just finished with the Lucas Cioffi video, and my conception of what journalism (even the ”reinvented journalism” — whatever that turns out to be) can and should be/do is about 180 degrees different from his. I look forward to exploring that difference of opinion nin Cambridge. (No time for more just now, and I’m just enough of Luddite that I much prefer direct to online conversations, anyway.)
