Fanfare for the common man...
Sheryl McCarthy is wary of man-on-the-street interviews re: the Greg Packer affair. But, she says:
Sometimes by being out on the street, mingling in the crowd, hearing what people say, we're able to catch what's in the wind, and it changes the whole direction of a story. That's more valuable than anything we pick up in the newsroom--provided we avoid the Greg Packers of the world.
And here's my idea for what newspapers could be doing instead.
