How to Find and Support Trustworthy Journalism

Supporting and finding reliable and trustworthy journalism is possible. Here are some tips on how to go about it.

If you are hungry for news you can trust, journalism that helps you make decisions about your community, reporting that holds power to account, then this is for you. This is my personal advice for people who want to support journalism that matters. It is just a starting point, it is not comprehensive, and it’ll become stronger and more useful if you add your ideas to it. Use the comments to add your list of newsrooms you subscribe to and support.

Now more than ever, it is important to our democracy that we seek out and support good journalism. Every person is going to construct their media diet differently, so any list I create will be incomplete. My goal here is to provide a framework for you to find the news that will challenge, inspire, inform and engage you.

Throwback Thursday – #Gatlinburg #Tennessee #TBT

100-3578-collage

This is a photo collage from a visit to Gatlinburg, Tennessee back in 2008. It’s a picturesque tourist destination in the Great Smoky Mountains. This past week the town was hit hard by fires that burned homes, attractions, lodges and other businesses. This is a good place to chill and it will come back.

Happy Friday!

Today was my Friday for this week as I am taking tomorrow off. It is a much needed and I hope deserved 3-day weekend. Sometimes you have to make your own breaks and I am happy to be off on what is real Friday most of the time. I for one am glad the weekend has come early.

World AIDS Day – December 1, 2016 #aids #hiv #wordpress

World AIDS Day, designated on 1 December every year since 1988 is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection, and mourning those who have died of the disease. Government and health officials, non-governmental organizations and individuals around the world observe the day, often with education on AIDS prevention and control. (From Wikipedia)

HIV and AIDS is a disease that has claimed a lot of lives. Unfortunately people who live with it live with the stigma of having it. This is a disease that knows no boundaries and can impact people of all walks of life. Education and awareness can make a difference in the lives of those who have the disease so that they too can live a full life.
