As news budgets shrink and technology advances, more of us are mobile journalists. I could be a one-woman-road show — interviewing sources, putting things together on a laptop wherever my story is happening, then filing it via the Web.
But do I want to?
No. And here’s why: It seems like the best ideas come from collaboration.
For example, from what I can see, the ASU fellows all have some amazing material, and as we return to the newsroom to put our stories together, at least a few of us are struggling to find the best to put it all together. Perhaps even more than when we were planning our stories and out reporting, I, Chrystall, am noticing our need for collaboration.
