On Stupidity and the Ban

When it comes to hot button topics, there are few more inflammatory than the debate over whether to reenact the lapsed 1994 Assault Weapons Ban into US law. Putting aside the loaded rhetoric, it is challenging to make sense of the statistics being brandished by both sides of the dispute. Representing the argument in opposition of the ban is an article by Sean Davis, co-founder of The Federalist magazine, titled “The Assault Weapons Ban Is A Stupid Idea Pushed by Stupid People.” While this article presents a logical argument supported by verifiable facts, the source’s overall reliability is damaged by the obvious bias of both the website and the article

Post Industrial Journalism: Adapting to the Present

This essay is part survey and part manifesto, one that concerns itself with the practice of journalism and the practices of journalists in the United States. It is not, however, about “the future of the news industry,” both because much of that future is already here and because there is no such thing as the news industry anymore. If you wanted to sum up the past decade of the news ecosystem in a single phrase, it might be this: Everybody suddenly got a lot more freedom. The newsmakers, the advertisers, the startups, and, especially, the people formerly known as the audience have all been given new freedom to communicate, narrowly and broadly, outside the old strictures of the broadcast and publishing models. The past 15 years have seen an explosion of new tools and techniques, and, more importantly, new assumptions and expectations, and these changes have wrecked the old clarity. Many of the changes talked about in the last decade as part of the future landscape of journalism have already taken place; much of journalism’s imagined future is now its lived-in present. (As William Gibson noted long ago, “The future is already here. It’s just unevenly distributed.”) Our goal is to write about what has already happened and what is happening today, and what we can learn from it, rather than engaging in much speculation
