Those of us who have spent a lot of time in one industry have all known people like Cassidy Hutchinson — young, talented, idealistic, poised before their life experiences might suggest. To poorly run organizations where integrity is lacking, such people are often dangerous.

A popular alternative model of journalism is to seek stories so morally unambiguous that nuance is their enemy, and whose moral clarity is itself the source of urgency and narrative delight for readers. Personally I think stories produced under this model tend to suck
The best journalists are the people who seek out complexity, work to understand it — and then try to capture it while making the material feel urgent and compelling to normal people, without losing nuance. It’s really hard to do.
