Culled from CJR’s own stories, plus the frequently updated “Must-reads from around the Web,” our staff recommendations for the best pieces of journalism (and other miscellany) on the internet, here are your can’t-miss must-reads of the past week:
Tracking your every online move (CJR) – Native ads could increase readership with one simple trick
Things a war correspondent should never say (WSJ) – “The correspondent retelling war stories surely knows that fellow correspondents had faced the same dangers or worse”
The New Republic, then and now (CJR) – Tallying the staff turnover at the overhauled magazine
The rise of feelings journalism (TNR) – “Bloom engaged in an increasingly popular style of writing, which I’ve discussed on my blog before, which I call “feelings journalism.” It involves a writer making an argument based on what they imagine someone else is thinking, what they feel may be another person’s feelings. The realm of fact, of reporting, has been left behind.”
Why serious journalism can coexist with audience-pleasing content (CJR) – Legacy media organizations should experiment with digital platforms while continuing to publish hard news
