In a report on
<A HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/07/business/media/voxcom-takes-melding-of-journalism-and-technology-to-next-level.html">
   the launch of Vox Media</A>,

at Vox is blurred, as writers and reporters work together "to

 "It is thrilling as a journalist being able to envision
 a tool and having it become a real thing," Mr. Topolsky
 said.  "And it is rare."

It will be less rare in the future.  Programming will become
a natural part of more and more people's toolboxes.
