They are: WHAT WE MISS (1): The longstanding facts, (2): How journalists know what they know, and (3): The things we don’t know

As long as the news is structured solely around what just happened, journalists are going to be fighting a rough battle. With a latest-news-only approach, we stoke demand for journalism by trying to snag people’s attention with each new development.

There’s another way, one that leads to a more informed and more loyal public, and allows us to do better work. It involves:

* Enlarging the market for journalism by making it easier for more people to understand the longstanding facts behind each story.

* Increasing the appeal of journalism by letting folks in on the details of our quest to uncover the truth.

* Expanding the appetite for journalism by explaining what we don’t know, and what we’re working to find out.
