News sites' 007s: Beat reporters
The primer, the FAQ and the timeline are terrific resources for online news consumers, Dan Froomkin says. They offer depth and context in a way that daily reporting can't. Perhaps more importantly, they can reestablish the bond that once existed between newspapers and their readers. "Plunk a beat reporter down to make a list of the half-dozen things that interest them the most about their beat -- and voila! -- you've already got the outline of a great primer. They've already covered the events that make up the timelines. They've already asked the questions that make up the FAQs."
