“media saturation is probably very destructive to art. New movements get overexposed and exhausted before they have a chance to grow, and they turn to ashes in a short time.

“The media and even, to some degree, leaders of women's organizations don't understand that the women's movement is an absolute part of society now.

It is part of the way women look at themselves, and women are looked at.” WayLooksConsciousnessLeaderTakenMediaMovementDegreesOrganizationAbsolutesGrantedTaken For Granted Author:Betty Friedan
“Bad User on Device is a medium that can dynamically simulate the details of any other medium, including media that cannot exist physically. It is not a tool, although it can act like many tools. It is the first metamedium, and as such it has degrees of freedom for representation and expression never before encountered and as yet barely investigated.” FirstsMediaExpressionDegreesToolsIncludingDetailsMediumsDevicesUsersRepresentationSimulate Author:Alan Kay
“Where the differences came in was the patina of ideology which the news media laid over everything. There's certainly a bias, to some degree, in the way the media portrays the military. I'm not saying that's entirely wrong - the Fourth Estate is there to hold generals and colonels accountable for their actions and decisions - but having reporters on the scene, reporting in real time certainly complicates things for the military mission.” WayRealActionDifferencesDecisionMediaMilitarySceneDegreesNewsMissionsIdeologyFourthBiasReportersEstatesColonelsNews Media Author:Dave Abrams

“For example, because I'm a lapsed geologist, I followed the eruption of Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull in 2010 in great detail, amassing a huge number of links to news articles, blog posts, scientific papers, web cams, video and photos. That archive came to the attention of Chatham House, and they then commissioned me to research the way in which the media responded to the ash cloud crisis.

“There are a lot of very religious scientists around. I think the problem here is that in our school systems, and to some degree - and this is where it is relevant - with school boards around the country that are mandating curriculums and textbooks, you start seeing this weird watering down of scientific fact so that our kids are growing up in an environment - and this connects to what I was saying earlier abou the media - where everything's contested.
