Entretien avec Ted Conover, auteur de «Là où la terre ne vaut rien» ➡️ bit.ly/3Q9NvSx Dans @Libe, l'écrivain américain @tedconover raconte son immersion de quatre ans auprès de marginaux en mobil-homes du Colorado. On lui demande notamment sa méthode d'écriture. Il nous dit ceci : «Je prends des notes, dans des cahiers que je garde toujours avec moi, et sur mon téléphone de plus en plus. A la fin de chaque journée, je m’assois devant mon ordinateur portable, même dans ma petite caravane, et je les retravaille. Cela fait partie de ma routine. Avant de m’endormir, je dois écrire tout ce qui s’est passé. J’ai commencé par un Google Docs et, au bout de deux ans, j’avais atteint la taille maximale, soit plus d’un million de caractères. Alors j’ai tout transféré sur Word. J’ai passé environ deux semaines à relire mes notes en surlignant ce qui me semblait essentiel, puis j’ai imaginé une structure. Vous devez décider par où commencer et déterminer l’importance à accorder à chaque épisode. Donc, pour ce livre-là, quatre ans de prise de notes, puis un peu plus d’un an pour l’écriture du texte lui-même» Tout lire : bit.ly/3Q9NvSx

Talon Vance, 13, was taken by his mother and aunt to live "off-grid" in a Colorado forest at 10,000 feet. The mom, frightened by conspiracy theories, wanted to keep him safe. It's a sad story but I think an important one. outsideonline.com/outdoor-advent…

Hypothetical: an American reporter has embedded with an enemy unit of the United States during war and they are preparing to ambush an American platoon. Do you film/report it or do you warn the American platoon of the ambush? Westmoreland, Scowcroft, Jennings, and Wallace discuss

From Food Lion to ag-gag, is it time to revisit undercover reporting as the Fourth Circuit "all but overturns itself"? So asks @sethastern of @freedomofpress. freedom.press/news/is-it-tim… (attento @tedconover)
