Check out piece by Current on pigeon racing. The pacing is excellent, and the deft storytelling highlights the engaging techniques that make Current a leader in journalism’s tech-transition.
I have to say I’m a little peeved at Current. For a news organization that is supposedly a groundbreaking alternative to the MSM, Current has been remarkably silent on the detainment, trial, conviction and sentencing of journalists Euna Lee, Laura Ling. Although Current chief Al Gore is reportedly in the running to head up the negotiations. The two Current journalists were reporting in North Korea at the time of their detainment and are essentially being held as bargaining chips by the North Korean government. I mean, even the flaccid San Francisco Chronicle weighed in on this one. Where’s Current with its sensitive, passionate reporting?
