My own impression is that newspaper people today, however valiantly they struggle to adapt to the new order, at heart want to keep doing things the same old way. Almost certainly that's not going to work, so an exploration of the life of a man who went off in his own direction is very much in order.
That impression is correct. The people in today's newsrooms may inveigh against "conservatives," but they themselves are almost all conservative in the worst sense of the word, pathetically enamored of their glory days.
