D.C. More than 500 newspapers have bureaus. We figure the world does not need another Washington-based wire service that covers the story of the day. We do not cover press conferences or congressional hearings or other set-piece events.
Newspapers can choose from dozens of stories covering today's presidential press conference.
What papers don't have are many choices of thoughtful, deeply reported stories about national issues that affect readers. Stories about violence that go beyond today's gruesome sensation. Stories about race that don't dwell on the most obvious. That's our role. Even in traditional sounding beats, we are different.
