I think that a lot of the most talented and driven people, they're not super deterred by failure. So if you put out a really big challenge, I think they get reality excited by that - they say, 'Hey, why not, let's go give it a shot, and if we fall short on that, at least we took a shot at doing something really important and meaningful.'

It is physically not possible for one person to understand and live the unique sets of experiences in all these places in honest and meaningful ways.

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