I hope it doesn’t go away, too.

It’s been sad seeing journalism in the online era, where so much (not all!) content is produced without really visiting or researching things. Often it’s based only on statements / tweets, sometimes more seeping based on phone calls, sometimes reading a book on the topic, but rarely do journalists seem to show up anywhere.

When reading something like Didion’s piece on the LA highway central command, it shows how irreplaceable lived experience is.
