The community funding aspect of the story, in my estimation, is supposed to highlight the "decency" of our society at large. However, there is another part of our society that has an interest in passing the responsibility of taking care of citizens back onto other citizens.

Alternative headline: A society exists in which a 60 year old can't afford to not harm her body by being forced, through exported violence of the property system, to walk to work. #com303 Also, there was an on the media podcast on the pitfalls of this kind of story.

WATCH: This 60-year-old woman walks 12 miles to and from work every day, six days a week. She is a symbol of hard work and determination to her community so, they knew they had to help out in a big way ❤️ https://t.co/mI1dSNSnlW

For honest-to-goodness educational purposes, here’s a journalism ethics poll:
If a source uses garbled syntax and bad grammar full of ums, uhs, etc, do you quote verbatim or clean it up for coherence? (reasons welcome in replies)

@SmuZemel I wonder if government employees are all contractually employed. I feel like "at will" employees wouldn't be constitutionally protected from being fired for speaking candidly with journalists. That might be an exploitable loophole that governmental employers would use .

Fellow journalists- do you cringe as much as I do when you listen to yourself while transcribing recorded interviews? GOOD LORD SHUT UP, BETH!

Interesting, I think this all applies to religious texts as well.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Nietzsche is quoted in the chat rooms of the far right, and he surfaces in leftist discussions about the future of democracy. How can a single thinker generate such varied interpretations?

I found this article somewhat interesting. The headline though...woof. The headline seems to be a pathogen of the type of symptoms that the article reports people are self diagnosing themselves with.

I feel that if you replace "fiction" with "journalism" in this article, it can lead to some interesting things to think about. #com303

[All Things Considered @npratc]

"Fiction allows us to look at the world in a different way," he says. "And I think that is really the crisis of contemporary fiction: that it finds itself — at this catastrophic time for humanity — it finds itself unable to look at the reality around us." https://t.co/bI1umI4pa0
