'Slow journalism', like slow scholarship, is something I bet we'd all be willing to defend! Your comments make me think about some of the literature on posthumanism that troubles the distinction between the 'natural' and the 'technological' or cultural. I think another 'big' story popular culture often tells itself is about the way in which our immersion in technology alienates us from nature and from the natural world. This journalist's project is in a sense telling a counter-story - one which I think could be really powerful. I'll be checking back at the web site!
