Journalists are in full meltdown and navel-gazing mode over that Dr. V story in Grantland.
Wow.
Two more pieces of interest about the controversy.
This Op-Ed from the New York Times about how this story is part of a wider problem known as "longform" --- where form overrides function. Basically, people are praising longform narrative stories without actually, gasp, reading them or thinking about what this all means.
Hmmm....
Maybe.
Also, this rant from Drew Magary in GQ (point No. 2 in the piece) is kinda spot on, while still being a little over the top.
Lots of stuff to think about it.
