Maryn McKenna had to break some old habits when she left her newspaper to write books: "I had to learn that, to make a book worth a reader’s time, I had to go beyond straight news reporting into interpretation and, I guess, active curation – that is, letting the reader into my POV and making my thought process visible. I still struggle with this." McKenna and five other journalist/authors talk more about those differences on The Open Notebook, funded in part by NASW.
