575458 I can loan you this. Like the Wire, it's a little out of date now, a little overly hopeful. Definitely constructed by a man in the business of limiting the terms of debate. But it's persuasive and could be of use in building something that will last or finding places that will. Also, it's novel to see some actual social science put to use instead of the constant bullshitting from NAA/SPJ/Poynter etc.

697731 I would love to borrow this. I don't mind a little overly hopeful. I'm probably a little overly hopeful myself.

575458 I'll try to remember to bring it Monday. In the meantime, see this 1995 AJR essay by Meyer. It's the Big Hedgehog Idea at the heart of his research.
