Journalism in the digital age

Michele Norris, co-host of NPR's All Things Considered, marvels at the impact technological advances have had on news reporting. Going from dictating stories over pay phones to transmitting them using modems and BlackBerries has escalated the speed and ease of filing stories, and the internet has revolutionized the way journalists research stories. In this speech in St. Paul on Thursday night, Norris said that while technology's impacts are mostly positive, she worries about reporters using sources without ever looking them in the eye.
