“We must reach out to villages even in scorching heat with temperature upto 44 C. We must ensure that no girl child remains illiterate. I request all the social institutions and the media world to create a joyous environment for education in the month of June (when schools re-open), an environment to encourage children to go to school. We will derive the satisfaction of having done a social good.” WorldChildrenDoneSchoolGirlSocialEducationEnvironmentMediaMonthsIndiaInstitutionsRemainsSatisfactionHeatVillageReach OutJuneTemperatureRequestJoyousIlliterateGood EducationSocial InstitutionsSocial GoodScorchingGirl Child Author:Narendra Modi
“The coverage of Central America in recent months points up one of the ugly truths about the American press: the better the news, the less of it you get.

“My work on prime gaps lead to lots of media coverage, some good, some bad, some ugly, and some merely ridiculous.

“I wish to say seriously to all the daily newspapers, to the Republicans, the Democrat, and Socialist parties, that they cannot, month in month out and year in and year out, make the kind of untruthful, of bitter assault that they have made and not expect that brutal, violent natures, or brutal and violent characters, especially when the brutality is accompanied by a not very strong mind; they cannot expect that such natures will be unaffected by it.” YearsMindKindMadeCharacterStrongMediaMonthsViolentBitterVery StrongBrutalAssaultBrutalityStrong Mind Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“Dutch beaches were known to me as man-made territories, as part of various land reclamation projects. But I was also interested in the media reality of the Moon landing. I wanted to use that event as a measure of time, to see what had happened in those thirty years - which happens to be my lifetime as well. I was born in 1967 and I remember seeing the Moon landing on TV when I was two. All those things were in play. Then it became a big production. It took five months to gather up the goodwill and make it happen.” MenYearsWellsMadeTwoPlayUseBigsRealityHappensWantedRememberBornKnownFiveSeeingHappenedLandMediaEventsTvsMonthsMoonProjectsLifetimeProductionsVariousBeachThirtyTerritoryMake It HappenGoodwillThirty YearsLandingDutchMoon LandingReclamation Author:Aleksandra Mir
“I think one of the many interesting things about [Donald] Trump is that people in the media did not take him seriously for months. Then, when it was clear he was going to be the nominee, they immediately hit the panic button. I think they overlook the possibility that he could just be a really bad president in the way that presidents are traditionally bad.” PeopleThinkingWayPresidentInterestingClearMediaPossibilityMonthsTrumpPanicButtonsInteresting Things Author:Chuck Klosterman
