Ezra Klein says what the country needs now is journalism that explains policy — precisely what the Prospect does best:
I’ve written for a lot of publications, and usually about policy. So I’ve heard the same concern over and over: “You sure this isn’t too far in the weeds?” When you get too deep into the details of policy, editors call it “getting into the weeds.” It’s usually said as a bad thing, and sometimes, it is. But the weeds are important, as any gardener can tell you. If you don’t know what’s going on in the weeds, you don’t know what’s going on in the garden. The Prospect taught me to watch the weeds.
