Creating an environment that breeds innovative ideas is one of my favorite topics to discuss. It was at the heart of my master’s thesis (building an internship program like a “think tank”) — and it drives this entire blog.
I want to help foster a constantly learning, creative culture in our newsroom.
That’s why I chose this particular talk for this week’s Tea with TED session: Where good ideas come from, where author Steven Johnson talks about seeing ideas as networks. Social networks, really.
From TED: “People often credit their ideas to individual “Eureka!” moments. But Steven Johnson shows how history tells a different story. His fascinating tour takes us from the “liquid networks” of London’s coffee houses to Charles Darwin’s long, slow hunch to today’s high-velocity web.”
