My takeaways after viewing this year-in-the-life documentary:
- Every newsroom needs a David Carr.
- Citizen bloggers are not, and never will be, journalists.
- Humor is one of the best tools to have in your professional arsenal.
- Most print reporters would make great candidates for a What Not To Wear episode.
- New York Times executive editor Bill Keller bears a striking resemblance to the actor Mitch Ryan (the rich dad in the sitcom Dharma & Greg).
- Office space that includes four walls and a door is a perk, so if you have it, enjoy it.
- Nerds have a valued place in today's professional workplace.
- Reader interest (and that means you, people) plays a far greater role in what gets covered and where it's placed than I'd care to admit.
- All professional conventions, no matter where they are held, promise two things: bad lighting and lame content.
- I will be a newspaper reader until the day I die (or until newspapers do, whichever comes first).
Bonus Bones: 2
Two Times staffers were shown spending quality time with their pups (David Carr's yellow lab got the most air time).
