Thanks for doing an AMA. De Correspondent advertised when they started a kind of journalism that wouldn't just passively run after everything that happened during the day ('een medicijn tegen de waan van de dag'). The last three days you published at least three articles (long reads?) about greek crisis. It was good, but if you said was published in de Volkskrant I would have believed you as well. My question: if you write the correspondent is a medicine against the haze of the day, but when you do tend to write about the haze lf the day, isn't de correspondent a placebo?

How are you going to prevent this and/or innovate the correspondent in an ever shrinking news market?

Thanks for the AMA! Do you regret certain articles? And what do you think about the saying that people should be able to make jokes about everything?

Hey John, thanks for doing an AMA.

I know you love writing and reading, and I know writing can be a terrible process, but do you prefer to read a good book, or to write a good book?

Hi John, thank you for doing this. I have been watching your videos (and also hank's!) for years and I have gathered a lot of inspiration from them. What I really like is how you keep positive about the world, although sometimes it feels like the world is falling apart. My question is probably a hard one, but how do you see the positive side? How do you prevent bad news from keeping you down?
