The Real Journalist

Did anyone read the story of journalist David Rohde on NYT this week. It is truly an extraordinary piece of journalism, in essence totally redefine McLuhan's "medium-message" stuff. The medium is intertwining with the message, and at multiple times paradoxically blurring and highligthing the contrast. In the beginning, he is the medium and the planned interview is the message. Then he becomes the medium that becomes the message (when kidnapped). From there he creates a new parallel quantum world message and medium existing as one and also distinct at the same time (in captivity until the escape). And finally he (the medium) and his kidnapping experience (the message) are becoming the way (the medium) to create a new message (the NYT article). If I don't express my line of thought adequately let it be so but that article (or a serie of articles) is simply fascinating to me. Check it out.
