What I’m trying to do is give journalism school a place in the industry that is closer to R&D. [Journalism schools] should be a place where new problems in practice get solved, and we graduate people who can make journalism smarter.

Another metaphor for the problem of celebrity journalism is flash photography. All flash photographs are bad. The flash from the camera distorts the photo. And all flash photographs are the same: everybody’s skin looks the same. And everybody has those same little red dots in their eyes. Celebritydom distorts and obscures whatever might be interesting about the celebrity subject.
