This week went out on a high note, with arguably free do[ough]nuts for National Doughnut Day. Other things happened, too—here's what the week looked like from the WGBH Newsroom.
• Dan Kennedy performed contemporaneous journalism on a future-of-journalism panel held at WGBH, featuring Joshua Benton , Tim O'Brien , Clay Shirky , Ethan Zuckerman talking among other things, about the end of clickbait. Kennedy also attended the Boston Globe's party for its new Capital section, which covers politics, and found it a sign of the paper's plan to "spend its way out of the newspaper doldrums."
• Cristina Quinn visited an eighth grade class in Shrewsbury , where the teacher is using tablets to help gauge student learning on the fly.
• Adam Reilly reported on whether "complicated grief" is a valid diagnosis or normal suffering pathologized . He also examined the controversial reclassification of Asperger syndrome as a form of autism.
• The Scrum weighed in on the strained relationship between Gov. Deval Patrick and "Gov." Robert DeLeo.
• Phillip Martin kicked off a series on income inequality .
• The Forum Network recorded Boston Globe reporter Stephen Kurkjian talking about the Armenian Genocide , and just to bring this WIR full circle, clickbait-wise, Chris Altcheck of PolicyMic talking about how the site generates traffic.
That's it for this week—see you Monday.
