David Leonhardt: Math's Loss, Journalism's Gain

The incoming New York Times Washington bureau chief places a premium on explanatory journalism and expresses optimism about the future. I interviewed David a year ago for my book, the New York Times Reader: Business and Economics published by CQ Press. David is a very smart guy who is enormously talented. His comments here are worth reviewing. The future of journalism is not just chronicling events, but putting them in perspective. It seems very basic, but journalism remains far behind the curve in this regard and journalism schools for the most part don't teach these skills. - MT
