we are in an age of innovation and because the hyper competitiveness of the market now means we as journalists are being forced to really up our game to stand out.

As a follow-up: What do you consider to be "upping your game" for journalists to stand out?

When I was at college, I remember one j-school professor joking that in today's age it was better to be inflammatory versus correct. Given how I've seen the rise of media aggregators like Buzzfeed, HuffPo, Gawker, and how wanna-be bloggers sensationalize and inject personality into their postings - I wonder if it wasn't a joke at all. Do you think that journalists will need to rely more and more on making a sensational story to stand out, or is there room for more traditional, hard-hitting investigative journalists to stand out in today's modern journalism?

Feel more emboldened

I live in Seattle now, but grew up in Oregon. These have always been potato bugs to me, since that's what everyone else called them.
