Adrian fleshes out a premise he’s mentioned before: that news organizations need to “stop the story-centric world view.” The point is that most journalists already collect structured data, but they actually unstructure it by filtering it into a human-parseable “story.” That, in and of itself, is not a bad thing at all — but we ought to be keeping that structured data as well, because it’s the only thing that’s going to let us slice, dice, and reuse bits of the content in new, interesting, and useful ways. A truly great read. Don’t miss it.
