Slow journalism movement?

Sasha Anawalt is hosting a panel at USC on Nov. 17 on a project that's very intellectually out-there, applying the ideas of "slow food" on the competitive news media:

Never heard of the Slow Journalism Movement? We barely have either -- a phrase coined by Naka Nathaniel to describe the growing practice of journalists sharing resources and caring less about beating their competition to the big story than about practicing human rights activism and doing the right thing. Nathaniel and Mister Jalopy both associate this trend in journalism with the Slow Food Movement. What are the commonalities? Few are better equipped to speak about slow food than Josh Viertel, and few have explored and exercised possible conjunctions between slow food and the arts than Peter Sellars.

The panel is part of the Annenberg/Getty Arts Journalism program. * Intriguing, but, possible?

Hmm, de que funcione esta por vérse. Here at home, even our more beloved independent publications like The Chicago Reader have suffered severe cutbacks despite reporting the stories that matter, reporting the truth, and without placing importance on which publication reports the stories first. Some believed that their competition was the always less-than-stellar Chicago Sun Times. Y del Tribune no se diga.
