The New Media Movement Is Here: 20 News Sites Kicking Our Generation Into Action At the height of the 2012 presidential election season, Gallup reported that “Americans' distrust in the media hit a new high this year, with 60% saying they have little or no trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly.” As disappointing as the numbers are, they're not much of a surprise to Americans such as yourself, who have already sought out alternatives to mainstream news sources. Unfortunately, however, most Americans haven't. Online news sources are becoming more and more popular, as one might expect. Couple this with the statistical fact that “someone who watched only Fox News would be expected to answer just 1.04 domestic [political current event] questions correctly – a figure which is significantly worse than if they had reported watching no media at all,” and it's no wonder trust is down and cynicism is up when it comes to the news. But it's not just cynicism that is the problem. What does all this have to do with media? Tuning Into our Devices
Woven - Home San Francisco Cops Pool Their Own Money To Shelter Homeless Family Of Seven Police officers often see homeless residents in some of the most despondent conditions, but sometimes even they are so moved by those in need that they step in to help with personal resources. When four San Francisco cops received a call Friday night alerting them to a family of seven stuck outside on a rainy, windy night, the officers responded to the scene and discovered Joel Silva and his family had missed the 8 p.m. door-closing at their shelter. "Here were these five kids, all dressed well but just down on their luck with all their bags and two strollers," Officer Eithne Cummins told the San Francisco Chronicle of the children, ages 8 months to 12 years. Officer Brian Carew called their next move a “no-brainer.” "We had to do something," Caraway told ABC 7 News. Silva was amazed by the cops’ generosity. “They’re definitely going above and beyond to help our family out,” he said. For many others in the Silva family’s shoes, not having a place to stay can be a matter of life or death.
Symbolia “Neuroscientific research supports what narrative nonfiction storytellers instinctively know: Stories with clear, emotionally evocative dramatic arcs are most effective at keeping readers engaged. These stories cause the body to produce chemicals including cortisol, which focuses attention, as well as oxytocin, which is associated with empathy. They also light up areas of the brain linked to understanding others.” — Erin Polgreen wrote an essay for Nieman Reports on the power of comics and non-fiction narratives.
