I love it when Matthew Shaer covers media. This time, hes got a profile on Matt Taibi that also manages to be a way more substantive take on what could come from the startup news trend. Like how Taibi thinks ­journalists should be dark, funny, mean people, but for too many reporters today, “the appeal of the job has more to do with proximity to power. They want to say they had a beer with Hillary Clinton or whatever it is.” Not sure I agree w/ the dark and mean part, but I do think the big question is how we can build new institutions with the appropriate estrangement from power (and, I would add, money). nymag/daily/intelligencer/2014/03/matt-taibbi-on-wall-street-first-look-media.html
