[Om Malik](http://om.co/2014/08/29/how-google-can-really-help-news-media/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com):

> If technology has upended the media ecosystem, then it should also be the solution for that ecosystem to adapt to the new hyper-speed reality of news and information. What we need is a set of tools that basically are a way to help the information-gathering process at network speed. Instead of reporters asking questions — if you don’t have historical context you can’t really ask some key questions — we need tools that help augment the process.

Right now, we’re not even good at the publishing end tools, let alone the research end ones. That *has* to change.
