Abstract: For a century and a half, journalists made a good business out of selling the latest news or selling ads next to that news. Now that news pours out of the Internet and our mobile devices - fast, abundant, and mostly free - that era is ending. Our best journalists, MItchell Stephens argues, instead must offer original, challenging perspectives - not just slightly more thorough accounts of widely reported events. His book proposes a new standard: "wisdom journalism," an amalgam of the more rarified forms of reporting - exclusive, enterprising, investigative - and informed, insightful, interpretive, explanatory, even opinionated takes on current events. -- from dust jacket.
