Design Feast Series: Quotes

“Yet I deeply worry about our wider inability to understand that stories and journalism are intricately related—and that we all have a responsibility to ensure we do not fabricate in the name of truth-telling, even with the best of intentions, or, seriously, without clarity of context. Journalism, as I know first hand, is incredibly hard work, made easier by the temptation to cut corners, tell neater stories or tie up awkward loose ends. Yet the best in the business describe the complexity of life and society without resorting to any of these tactics. The best storytellers in the business do the same. … Let’s treat our world’s citizens as adults and engage them in a thoughtful, considered way that does not resort to ‘truthiness’ or lies.”
