A pantheon of mainstream media titans (the New York Times, MSNBC, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and the Associated Press) have just launched a joint investigative reporting venture where they'll pool their resources in order to offer the offer in-depth reportage that those sources can't do alone. And, their new effort - called "Reportiva" - kicks off with a bang!
Video of their first effort is included below, and - while I've been a strong critic of all those sources in the past - I have to admit that it's an excellent example of true journalism. It's like an MSM in-depth report, but taken to the next level. I hear Pulitzer knocking!
However, there is one minor problem: the person identified as "Lt. Jim Dorset" is actually treasured L.A. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky; I'm sure that was just a minor editing problem and will be corrected. Don't let that mar your enjoyment of this true jewel, a veritable pinnacle of journalism at its finest.
