About Invisible Inkling:
The newspaper business is changing, and so is journalism education, and so are the technological paradigms that supposedly mark the boundaries of both. So, as the nineteenth-century rapid/mass communication method of ink-on-paper dries up, it’s time to go stand under the waterfall of clues, open your mouth and your ears, and see how the information flows.
Well that was more visceral than I expected.
The point is, clues are everywhere, but if you’ve got ink on your fingers, the odds are you’re looking in the wrong places.
Welcome to Invisible Inkling.
