Watching him obsessively and irritably hit an ecig during a 1-1/2 hour discussion panel made me feel like, okay bro I get you now. You are this anxious just all the time. Go. Go do something. Stop fidgeting.

p clearly a large element of disrupting journalism aspiration here with the typical result when an extremely successful person with deep knowledge of their industry thinks their shit will just carry over no prob ie guy prob thinks the key to new journalism is grafting startup management techniques onto teams of reporters

Honestly, I'm pretty happy that they are getting paid to do Racket Teen. They deserve to make money from it.

yeah, Matt Taibbi didn't recruit those folx to do Racket Teen. I think they were supposed to make the NSA implode, more like.

it was fun how u cld tell they were just hanging around drinking waiting to be fired
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 22:04 (ten years ago)
tbh anytime i read about racket the vision seemed really muddy and unclear to me, like they weren't even sure what it was supposed to be, so i can't say i'm shocked that it didn't really work out
i'm happy that pareene has been liberated though, assuming someone snaps him up quickly. he's one of the best politics writers, it sucked not hearing from him for half a year or whatever.

“The whole site is a reaction to the clickbait, robotic, aggregating direction to journalism that’s the direction everything’s going on the Internet. We want readers to feel like everything they see on the site was the creation of an individual human being,” said Taibbi. A big part of that was going to be an emphasis on voice. The Racket was going to reject the dry, third-person style of the traditional media for strongly opinionated writing that, rather attempting to hide its biases, would flaunt them. It would be a way to connect with the audience and even drive its own reporting.

Man, this site would have been pretty fun, at least.
― RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 01:07 (ten years ago)
The Intercept is actually really good though. The dry third person style of traditional media is being avoided every day.
