News

People can actually write. Journalists, I mean. And sometimes, just sometimes, a writer is able to succinctly put into words ideas that are structurally foundationnal to getting current events. I just discovered John Caspar's articles on the financial section of Sympatico's webpage. Hats off to this guy: clear, short, sweet, direct and conveying one well supported, well articulated point of opinion per article.

Take for example this quote: "The news is in the business of reporting what’s new. That means that it reports the daily movement of the stock market, out of context to the average investor."

I'm writing this on my blog for the simple fact that some ideas deserve to be read and re-read, in as many locations as possible. I doubt that I'll invent anything dramatically unique on here, but if I can at least regurgitate the kinds of info, i'm a happy camper.


Cheers to articles whose key quality is to be informative.
