I used to think the
USAOKAY!!!!! approach would cure some of the ills of newshackery. After all, few save P-Ulitzer judges
want to read 50,000 words on the snail darter. There is something to be said for the pithy. But maybe not too much. When I see a blurb like this on WaPost.com:
● E.J. Dionne Jr.: Who's Hyperpartisan?I know a pithy answer: NOT ME! Or at least not my side. That's why I won't click on the link. But then too many colyumnists can be read in three words or less, and sometimes zero.
