Is Journalism Driven by Events?

Journalism by definition never sees the big picture, he says. We're hardwired to focus on the issue of the week or the month year rather than the big overarching span of humanity. The news cycle is only the 21st century version of the hunter-gatherers saying, see that fucking saber to tiger? I wouldn't mess with him. This is entirely unsubstantiated, John. You see in our brain, right? Me, the saber to Tiger Liz trust. It's all in the same thing.
