"What I Read"

Trent Gilliss, online editor

John Dickerson, Journalist & HandsomemanThe Atlantic Wire’s ongoing feature asking journalists about their “media diets” is invaluable if you have as much difficulty as the rest of our staff in sifting through the massive amount of information being disseminated every minute of the day. Don’t be mistaken by the title of the series; it involves all types of media not just print.

And, I’ll admit, this post is a bit self-serving too. Last week, I was caught off guard, and elated, when I saw that John Dickerson, Slate’s chief political correspondent, recommends SOF as one of his regular sources:

“As I drive to the office, I listen to podcasts. On Monday, I listen to the Sunday talk shows or Washington Week. During the week, I listen to News Hour or Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippett from Minnesota Public Radio.”

Great company to be in! There are many more journalists in this series that you should check out: Susan Orlean, David Brooks, Ta-Nehisi Coates, et. al.

And, I’d really like to know what some essential — and perhaps esoteric — sources you check in on to keep you connected to the larger world and how they give meaning and make sense of it all. Leave a comment here, if you like. What do you pay attention to?
