There’s an interesting conversation to be had about transparency as an accelerator to success and what that means to a field like journalism where transparency is a lauded ideal …for other entities but not for news organizations that value secrecy, sometimes due to the pressure of competition and other times for more base reasons. (I’m thinking of a paper that wanted data on diversity in a police force but didn’t want to share information about diversity in its newsroom.) Anyway, I’m fascinated by the role transparency plays in this work. It makes perfect sense but that’s not an ingredient that was as apparent to me as some of the other elements. Thanks for being transparent about the experience!
