We’re just sort of raising our hands to see if lightning continues to strike. I don’t really know why that happened, but now that it has, I think it’s a sustainable thing. I think people who got into media and journalism did it because they love words, they love stories, and they want to reveal truth about the world and package it so people can understand it. Often in our jobs, we can forget that, because we have to, you know, talk to the IT guy [laughs]. With Longshot, you only have forty-eight hours, and you just have to go make something good. It taps into the most fundamental reasons that we went into journalism, but it’s very pure, because there’s no structure, none of the stuff that gets in the way.
It’s a few days old now, but if you haven’t yet, do yourself a favor and read this Q & A: with Longshot co-founder Alexis Madrigal in CJR
