...press conferences, hand-shake journalism. The international media concentrates on the famous, the big names. Al Jazeera goes to the margins, investigates stories that are still developing and in the future become very big. Why did the Arabic world love Al Jazeera? Everybody felt he was represented in the newsroom and on the screen. That kind of belonging is ours. Hopefully the international channel will do the same. We want more diversity in our newsroom, for a dialogue of cultures on the screen...
...comrades - alienated older fans. Desperate, the editors last month launched a "readers' society," asking for donations as though the newspaper was a charity. One reader responded on the website: "Libé's radiant future is behind you," he wrote. "Adieu!" Several journalists suggest that some blame lies within the newsroom itself, which they say is filled with aging bobos - bourgeois-bohemians - who are increasingly disconnected from a multiethnic France and the country's hard-charging, careerist youth.

It was a chance to engage in some source development and perhaps some amateur anthropology. You hang out in some strange situations as a journalist...
...THOUGHT I KNEW YOU, REVEREND MOON The Nation publishes an exposé on the battle over the top job at the conservative Washington Times--owned by oddball Sun Myung Moon, head of the Unification Church--and shows its newsroom to be a hotbed of thinly veiled (and not so veiled) racism and sexism. The Times replies that the article is based on "fabrication." Wait--did Jayson Blair...
...disastrous clone of Tina Brown's Talk, JFK Jr.'s George or Maer Roshan's Radar." She showed the naysayers on that one - the Huffington Post has become a wildly popular must-read (her reporting on the Plame case and struggles inside the New York Times newsroom incited its own name-the-source guessing game). In any case, her new book, On Becoming Fearless, is all about her inner scaredy-cat. TIME talked to the red-headed reinventor about phobias and footwear...
