Media Diet is an experimental site by Mark Hurst.

The goal of Media Diet is to pull together multiple sources on a given topic as it develops over weeks or months. As Princeton historian Julian Zelizer put it, "We are in desperate need of long-term perspective, reminders of the big developments that get swamped in the daily chaos, and of assistance in putting the different pieces of the news together."
