Seriously!
Even in some of the topics I'm working on, it seems it's a link-fest. It's impossible for me to read through everything that's been posted, and it seems like people are just pulling quotes from wherever without actually interpolating and summarizing the idea from them.
Sure, it's nice to know what people say, or what industry says, but provide something conclusive!
You can't write an article or a story using just quotes. It's meaningless! Like all teachers have said at one point, "Garbage in, garbage out." If there isn't any meat or perspective being relayed here, then what's the goal?
In my idea of what Assignment Zero is; it isn't a link fest. It isn't Blog Wars(you may or may not know what this is, FYI: NSFW, 18+), it's not Engadget, it's not an advanced RSS feeder. This isn't what journalism is. In my view, it's supposed to be something that you provide a context to. If you read 30 quotes by Sanger and Wales, what collectively do they indicate about their thought or character? What can be said about Wales' opinion about CZ? What can be said about Sanger? Is he a realist? Is he over-the-top?
I fault many of my teachers for pushing the idea that you should just memorize things; especially history teachers. But that's what I think we're getting here.
