TRANSCRIPT

Media distortionNo news is terrible newsInspired by a TED talk with Alisa MillerPresented by Shea Molloy

Not from lack of interest

• Cost-effective• Lack of context• What stories sell

High cost of low coverage

• Reduced foreign coverage• Safety of journalists• WWW

Sex, drugs, rock & roll

• Highly visual stories attract attention• Sensationalism is better than reality• Distraction = escapism

Lack of context

• How does it affect “me”?• What does this mean long-term?• Why does this matter?

We get no full story

• It’s hard, expensive• Do we even want it?• What are the negative effects of

poor coverage?
