Love Won't Save Us (poem)

ahuntersheart:

Some say you’re lucky
If nothing shatters it.

But then you wouldn’t
Understand poems or songs.
You’d never know
Beauty comes from loss.

It’s deep inside every person:
A tear tinier
Than a pearl or thorn.

It’s one of the places
Where the beloved is born.
-Gregory Orr

Is PR Taking Over the News → guardian.co.uk

futurejournalismproject:

Journalists are a busy lot, out reporting each day as fire breathing editors demand they fill news holes post haste.

No wonder the allure of a press release. Flip a word here and there, massage some copy and here you go, an article ready for publication.

Not so fast.

England’s Media Standards Trust has released a “churn engine” that lets readers compare articles to press releases to see whether what they’re reading is actually independently reported. Some results can be seen here and examples run the gamut from science to royal family reporting.

As the Guardian notes:

A new website promises to shine a spotlight on “churnalism” by exposing the extent to which news articles have been directly copied from press releases.

The website, churnalism.com, created by charity the Media Standards Trust, allows readers to paste press releases into a “churn engine”. It then compares the text with a constantly updated database of more than 3m articles. The results, which give articles a “churn rating”, show the percentage of any given article that has been reproduced from publicity material…

…In a typical example, the Express, Mirror and Sun all lifted of chunks of text from a press release last month on behalf of the Benenden Healthcare Society, which quoted a poll showing ‘British women spend more money on their looks than their health’. The Daily Mail copied 98% of the text directly from the press release.

“This is America, where a white, Catholic, male, Republican judge was murdered on his way to greet a Democratic, Jewish, woman member of Congress, who was his friend. Her life was saved initially by a 20-year-old, Mexican-American, gay college student, and eventually by a Korean-American combat surgeon, all eulogized by our African-American President.” —Mark Shields, PBS (via marclove)

“Where Google’s services represented things I care about — discovery, curiosity, and transparency — Facebook represents that I don’t care about — narrowing, nattering, tribalism, etc. More than not caring, these are mostly things for which I have active contempt, as they represent the antithesis of curiosity and openness, things that Google (mostly) facilitates, and that Facebook (mostly) doesn’t.” —Paul Kedrosky: This Isn’t a Post About Facebook (via mattlehrer)

“I’ve decided that the amount you invoiced us for is far too much. Here’s my thinking: We are paying you to come up with an idea — we’re not paying you for the time you take to think about it. The actual idea must only take about 30 seconds to think about as you come up with it. All these visuals, that’s just typing. I can do that in Word. It would take me 5 minutes. So I only want to pay you for 5 and a half minutes work.” —

(via clientsfromhell)

Solution: raise your rates so 5.5 mins = whatever the total was before. Voila, happy client!

Hey, when did you get an account?

Hate to answer questions with questions but are these things public? I swear I don’t even believe in privacy anymore. Speaking of, is there a way to run Tumblr feed via Google Buzz?
