We were just talking about making sense of chaos. How are Vox writers going to bring clarity to chaos? Their stated hiring strategy is to "ignite conversations and influence culture." which would be the same old same old "disrupter/influencer" shtick.

Who brings sense to chaos? Detectives, pathologists, researchers...boring... smart..disciplined folks who figure stuff out mebbe years after it happens usually with massive budgets and time. Investigative journalists with massive budgets, time and singular focus is a good start.
Even then the expensive work product of bring order to chaos can be hundreds of pages with thousands of footnotes, interviews and sources. Documentaries may be another good way to zero in on why things happened. Maybe Frontline times ten.
I can think of maybe a dozen institutions that do nothing but make sense of things. None exist on popular ratings or advertising revenue. Some of the bigger pubs like NYTimes and Wapo are investing in OSINT style reporting. Keep going. bellingcat.com
