New job for reporters

The Christian Science Monitor states reporters deserve low pay. Robert X. Cringely proves reporters deserve low pay (it takes him a little while, but he gets there).

I was thinking I should hire a couple to keep track of the politics of my current project. How awesome would it be to have someone posting daily to the development blog the highlights of the day. They would report on who said what and bring to light all of the different pieces of insight that everyone has on the team. They would be a glorified court reporter, but there is a chance that they might find something that no one else is seeing. They would probably be good at writing documentation too.

Unfortunately, I think they would fall into their old ways and just become part of the machine and not bring any extra value.
