"Remnick recalls the efforts of Seymour Hersh, “one of the greatest reporters I’ve ever known.” According to Remnick, Hersh “was working on the Watergate story. The New York Times needed to catch up with the Washington Post … it was killing them. He needed to get to Charles Colson, one of the bad guys of Watergate, on the phone. How did he do that? He got to the office at 8am — nobody gets to a newspaper at eight a.m. — and on a rotary phone, he called Chuck Colson’s home number every 15 minutes till seven p.m. Eight a.m. to seven p.m., every 15 minutes on a rotary-dial phone. … He got Chuck Colson, and there was the front page story."

You’ll actually have to spend time building a network. You can’t just turn up and start shooting.
"Most of what I’m doing is investigative so they’re very fustrating, it’s 90% investigative, 10% photography, so there’s very little instant gratification, visually."

Reporting a place by going straight for the absurdity of it all.
Hat tip: @thehuisman, one kick ass reporter.
