Whether journalism peaked in the era of the muckrakers or when covering the Civil Rights movement, ProPublica's Paul Steiger says a new golden age will require teamwork: "Creating millions of lone-wolf, single-person bloggers doesn't get us to a golden age … If you're going to reliably produce journalism that improves the world, maybe you don't need a village, but you need some collaborators. You need lots of reporters. You need editors, data journalists, a lawyer."
