I read this very thought-provoking article in the LA Times (shocking, I know!) by Mary McNamara on the changing vision of MOCA and it's controversial Director, Jeffrey Deitch. Ms McNamara asks the question, in today's contemporary (read: wired) society, is it possible to reach an increasingly distracted audience without losing the depth and focus of what you originally intended? I think "Newsroom" on HBO asks the same questions and Ms. McNamara points out that with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert being the most trusted "newsmen" in America, the times are indeed changing. Give it a read.
