Matt Thompson draws a bright line between the episodic distribution of information as it stands today, and emerging methods to put those episodes in context.
Quote: Faced with a flood of headlines on an ever-increasing variety of topics, we shut off. We turn to news that doesn't require much understanding - crime, traffic, weather - or we turn off the news altogether. Added: March 11, 2010 at 8:32AM EST

A few weeks ago, Matt Thompson put together an innovative piece of contextual journalism at deathpanels.org. I called him up to talk about it. The audio and full transcript are up now at IdeaLab.

Matt Thompson is a champion for context, topic pages, and the idea that an individual news "story" is often a broken piece of reporting, disconnected from the past and future of an issue. In this post, Matt frames the difference as "what we get" and "what we miss."
