I went to a very nice party last night at the Reuters building in New York for aspiring young foreign correspondents. Besides the nice view from Times Square, I was also impressed with the quality of the individuals being recognized. While newspapers may be cutting back, which is unfortunate, there are still enough intelligent reporters to fill all the jobs twice over.

This isn’t really linked to Yemen, and I don’t want to break our self-imposed rule so soon, so I’ll just say more reporters would, in my opinion, mean better reporting from places like Yemen.
