I'm Drew Breunig and I obsess about technology, media, language, and culture. I live in New York, studied anthropology, and work in advertising technology.Twitter

These are reactions to things I feel are important.

We’ve created a news climate where people race to declare others dead.


Philosophy of Drawing asks why I think we’ve arrived at such a climate. Here is my response:

I we’ve achieved this climate because conversations and media move so quickly that news outlets have only two sustainable editorial models: move really fast or create amazing analysis. The audience for the former is larger and the latter requires more talent, so everyone prints first and asks questions later.
