I have never been a big blog follower, mostly because my generation relied more on magazines and such. So my observation here will be nothing new to those who "grew up" with blogs. Navigating my way around Medium, I have been overjoyed to find so many analyses of contemporary events by locals actually on the scene. The immediacy of such reporting, and the diversity of viewpoints, really makes News worth attending to again. Finally, we're also getting a closer look at the positive aspects in seemingly "crisis" situations. Gives me greater faith in humanity. All this to say, good article, and thank you.
