Olson: What a difference a year makes

The saying used to be that newspapers were history, written one day at a time.

In a modern newsroom, it’s more like writing history one minute at a time.

When you stop and take a long-view look at all that happens in a given year, all the stories covered, photos and videos shot, you get a sense of just how much really went down in all those minutes and days cataloged and reported upon.
