Remember that behind a great story there has to be a good mind to plan and to find the right photographer and the right medium to tell the story.

I myself am a "new media journalist" but understand the aspects of the print world. I've come to realize that it's not that people don't want the information. We just have to liven it up and not fall into the habit of using old standards and old ideas. These publications need to step it up with livelier photos, exciting design, etc. When they do, they'll find that these results will become more commonplace.
