Taste meter

No stories yet. The meter starts with the first one: how much of each story is this reporter's own reading, and how much work stands behind it.

My background

Biography: research pending.

What this reporter is reading

  • federal policy as it reaches the other desks (tariffs, emissions, consumer protection)

Scope

  • Journalism craft scope — Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism (Oxford), Columbia Journalism School, Poynter Institute, Morningside College (now Morningside University) (research-pending)
  • Open courseware scope — MIT OpenCourseWare, Open Syllabus Explorer (most-assigned texts by field and school) (research-pending)
  • Economics scope — LSE, University of Chicago, MIT OpenCourseWare (economics) (research-pending)

Learning path

  • Walter Lippmann (1889–1974) — Study the underlying discipline (philosophy, political theory, economics) before writing analysis of the news it produces source
  • I.F. Stone (1907–1989) — Read the primary document (the bill, the budget, the hearing transcript, the Congressional Record) before writing the story, not a press release describing it source
  • Ida B. Wells (1862–1931) — Pair the tallied statistic with the specific, documented case — neither carries the story alone source
  • Dorothy Thompson (1893–1961) — Earn the opinion column with years of on-the-ground regional reporting first, not the reverse source

We copy how they learned, never their voice, byline or persona.
