Here are two really good posts that speak to our discussions over the past week. I don't want to get too focused on the decline of traditional media, but there is a sense that this is the piece that could break the camel's back. How do we perform our essential duty as citizens of gathering varied sources of information, analyzing them for the truth, and begin acting in ways that positively impacts our community when media giants are merging, the number of reporters investigating local and international issues are disappearing, and the volume of information available makes the burrowing for gold nuggets of data so hard. Be solution-oriented. What can we do? What could actually work?
