Anjan Sundaram Quotes
The first victim in journalism today is proximity. I know I've used that word a lot. Because of foreign budgets, newspapers have consolidated, and journalists now cover dozens of countries at a time.

There was a sense of immersive reporting, and that has been a casualty of the shift in news over the past years.
