Romenesko Letters
The world has become more, not less, complex since the collapse of the Soviet Union, says Michael Goldfarb. "Therefore it needs more not fewer reporters covering it. I know this will sound extraordinary to the managers inside the newsrooms and on the publisher's floor but you can't get a full picture of the war in Iraq, Hugo Chavez, the tension between China's interior and Shanghai, or Darfur just by re-running copy from wire services or syndicated copy from the two Times's and the Washington Post. Can't be done."
