Shaping and Controlling the Narrative
I've been pondering what it means to try to bring forth information and encourage debate.
In terms of doing that in our country, it doesn't take long to look around and realize how polarized discussion and debate have become. It gets personal, it gets snarky and it becomes more of a "so top that" situation than how are we working towards solutions. I readily will admit to some of this myself (except the personal which I try to stay away from).
A number of articles have popped up along the way and I see a theme. But first, a story about journalism and truth and shaping a story.
Do you know who Mike Daisey is? He's a performer who does monologues and is most famous for his work,The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs. Part of that show talks about the harsh working conditions in China
