LOOK AT the Detroit Free Press Web site in preparation for Monday’s visit of Mark Hinojosa, director of new media. He’ll discuss the reader-centric newsroom: “The idea is that journalist forget how to think like the folks they are writing for. Journalist are so well informed about the topics they are writing that what they often find interesting in a story is not reflective of the lives of their readers. So the talk, which is mostly off the cuff, touches on how we can connect with readers without going all Britney all the time.”
