The Docket 12.14.23 What we've learned

Today we look back at the year in Best Evidence — not so much favorite stories and reviews, but how each of us has evolved in what we cover, and how. We talk about editorial in conversation with retail; “chores-list” coverage; aspiring to Texas Monthly; later-life “allergies” to law-and-order narratives; and the illusion of consent in even prestige properties. We’re also raising a glass to you guys — we’re glad you’re here, and we hope you have thoughts on these topics!
