Which is why I suspect outreach to a new audience will be crucial. It is possible, of course, that you're right. The folks over at CJR later covered the Story Lab startup, and apparently, they agree, though with different reasoning: http://www.cjr.org/the_kicker/you_dont_want_to_know_how_this.php Andrea Rich, I think there is a segment of the public that would very much like to get involved with and see how the sausage is made, but I’m not sure it’s the Post’s traditional readers.

Though I suspect ::: after years of seeing the behind the scenes work of government, power, water, politics, manufacturing, journalism, etc. ::: that the novelty will wear away quickly once those who didn't know how the sausage was made actually see how the sausage is made and find themselves longing for the days that they didn't know how it was made. All my best, Rich David,
