The Week I Read a Broadsheet Every Day

I read the same broadsheet every day for a week as a research exercise, tracking whether the news agenda was coherent across the week, whether the opinion section engaged with the reporting, and whether the week's coverage produced a cumulative understanding of any single story that the individual day's coverage alone would not. The answer to all three questions: partially. The news agenda was more coherent than I expected. The opinion section engaged with the reporting sometimes. The cumulative coverage of the major story of the week produced a better understanding than the single day's account. The exercise confirmed that the newspaper remains a journalistic form with specific advantages that the daily news feed does not provide. The kitchen noted my increased enthusiasm for the format.
