If you’re a newsroom CEO and your reference point for “alternative storytelling techniques” is the New York Times 2012 “Snowfall” project, your newsroom is in big trouble. www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

Screenshot from Texas Monthly article about the implosion of Houston Landing, a nonprofit newsroom:
Bhatia declined to provide details about his “reset” of the Landing. When asked for examples of the kind of digital journalism he wants to produce, he cited “Snow Fall,” a 2012 New York Times multimedia story about a deadly avalanche in Washington State. The project was produced by a team of eleven Times journalists over six months. “Maybe that’s not realistic, but the principle is to utilize different techniques to tell stories,” Bhatia said. “If we’re going to differentiate ourselves from traditional media, which is what we’re all about, then we have to be willing to try those things.”

Man, if anything smells like board member meddling, it’s this right here.

Love to see that they've decided to stop doing the very things that made me a monthly contributor. What on earth is going on over there?

Love to log on and check my favorite news website to see a prompt that says "no new content yet! Our journalists are working on highly in-depth reporting projects that should be published in the next 90 days!"
