Paris Review haastatteli John McPheetä pitkään ja hartaasti. Jos herran työ ei ole tuttua, kannattaa aloittaa vaikka The New Yorkerin arkistoista (A Fleet of One on maksumuurin ulkopuolella) tai sitten Amazon.comin kirjavalikoimasta. Haastattelu on lukemisen arvoinen, vaikka se alkaakin vähän hitaasti elämäkerturoinnilla. Tässä muutamia makupaloja. Fiktio- ja faktakirjoittamisen erosta: But once I started writing, I […]

Jonah Weinerin The Writearound -sarjasta: VG: I don’t have strategies like she does. She’s amazing in terms of, like, going on eBay and checking out how much a locket of Justin Bieber’s hair goes for and presenting this to him as a shiny bauble for him to consider and getting him super excited, so that […]

Tilanne: Erkon rahoja olisi jaossa neljännesmiltsi, kun vain kehittää vimpaimen, joka pelastaa journalimin. (Hups, lipsahti hyperbolan puolelle.) Entä jos on idea, mutta ei osaa ohjelmoida? Entä jos on bisnesnero, muttei tunne toimittajia? Entä jos Ruby on Rails sujuu unessakin, mutta mitä se journalismi on? Ehdottaisin, että kannattaa tavata ihmisiä, jotka hanskaavat muut osa-alueet. Se onnistuu […]
Olli Sulopuisto, 35, is a Helsinki-based journalist who doesn’t like writing about himself in the 3rd person. I make my living as a technology reporter, though I write about cinema (you can call it movies, if you like–I won’t take offense) and pop culture at large. I’ve been freelancing in Finnish since 2007. Nonfiktio is […]

Jay Rosen loihe lausumaan Economistin blogihaastattelussa seuraavanlaisen viisauksen politiikan toimittamisen ehkä perimmäisestä problematiikasta: Who’s going to win? What’s the strategy? Is it working? Focusing on those things helps advertise the political innocence of the press because ”who’s winning?” is not an ideological question. By repeatedly asking it journalists underline that theirs is not an ideological […]
