ProPublica got together a dream panel of Ira Glass (This American Life), David Remnick (The New Yorker), and Raney Aronson-Rath (Frontline) to discuss “Long-Form Storytelling in a Short-Attention-Span World.”

The combination of radio, magazine, and television experience makes for some interesting parallels and a few stark differences. All have great stories to tell, and each has been around long enough to really see the changes in media over the past decade (ie its convergence on the internet). At the same time, they each hold steady on the benefits of their own format.

For a few years Jeff Bridges has been publishing great on-set photographic diaries from his films: True Grit, Tron, Crazy Heart, and Iron Man. He really is good with a camera—able to capture intimate moments of the movie process and personalities of the people behind it. Plus, look at that ridiculous rig.
