Why I left news

Why I left news | The Word | Scoop.it

This is the real reason why I left news: I finally came to accept that the vanity of a byline was keeping me in a job that left me physically and emotionally exhausted, yet supremely unsatisfied.

David Patton's curator insight, March 21, 2:29 PM

Love this quote: The corporate folks who manage newspapers tried to comply with the whims of a thankless audience with a microscopic attention span.

The mythopoetic function of storytelling

The mythopoetic function of storytelling | The Word | Scoop.it
You broke all the rules, you know. Academics don’t begin a year’s course like that. It was uncomfortable, unsettling, and I watched as, at the beginning, a number of the students in the lecture hall reached for their mobile phones, or swapped puzzled looks. I was uneasy myself, and found myself struggling with my own cynicism and impatience. At first I wanted the story to move faster.

 

Yet I found that your story-telling put me in a different time and place. I’m not sure it’s my time and place, but once I let my resistances loose from their moorings, once I dropped my cynicism and doubt, I did notice that I’d entered the dreaming realm, where connections are made and many things are possible
