My small multimedia team works mostly in audio. But what a delight, on a podcast hiatus week, to be able to put my talented colleague Jingnan Peng on assignment as videographer. His new short (which links to his written report) brings to life the work of one very important public #library in Louisville, Kentucky. Via The Christian Science Monitor. #BlackHistory
Great to see the Monitor under the microscope of Trusting News.
Excited to finally release this Trusting News resource to help newsrooms assess their trust and transparency efforts. 🎉 Also a big h/t to The Christian Science Monitor staff for inviting so much accountability and transparency into their process by allowing us to publicly audit their newsroom.

Reported from Columbia University’s storied campus for The Christian Science Monitor
Three stories you probably missed during Earth Day, but well worth a read. 1. The Christian Science Monitor's Stephanie Hanes Wilson report, "How to stop ‘forever chemicals’ from lasting, well, forever". The EPA recently strengthened regulations on so-called PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” in drinking water. A next step, some experts say, is reducing the creation of these chemicals in the first place. Find it here: https://bit.ly/3xHMlak 2. A great data story from our Graphics editor Jacob Turcotte and writer Erika Page, "Charting the rise of plastic pollution – and solutions". The rapid growth of plastic pollution is grabbing attention in global treaty talks. Our story and charts show the scale of the problem and possible paths toward solutions. Find it here: https://bit.ly/49RUWVn 3. And a global report from Portugal, Namibia, and Barbados on projects sprouting up around the globe to build environmentally focused communities. The report focuses on the practical and inviting - NOT the idealistic: "How global innovators design a sustainable future."

Shifting demographics are challenging Japan’s reputation as a homogeneous society – and creating unprecedented openings for immigrants to participate in local government. For The Christian Science Monitor Takehiko Kambayashi is reporting that #Japan is becoming more diverse, but asks... "Will its government?" #diversity #women https://lnkd.in/etkbK9Yh
Has your paycheck started to grow a bit fatter over the past 18 months? Your not alone. After taking a tumble during the pandemic, as #prices rose far faster than salaries, the equation flipped. So it looked like real #wages were set for a historic surge, right. Hold on. An uptick in inflation has reared its ugly head again, threatening workers' buying power. The Christian Science Monitor's Laurent Belsie and Leonardo Bevilacqua take a loser look at the recent return of #inflation. https://lnkd.in/eBMn9jvf
OK. The Weekend's here. Time for a story that's not about your job, how to get ahead, or the mess that local news is in. (More of that on Monday.) We thought that our review by Barbara Spindel of "Women Behind the Wheel" by Nancy Nichols would provide you a fascinating glimpse of life when #babyboomers (like me) were kids and what mom and dad were doing on the road. The book shows how driving was a mixed blessing. While men took to the open road, women were often left to schlep children and groceries. Read the review in The Christian Science Monitor. Topical question: Has it changed? #automobiles #cars #commuting https://lnkd.in/eZWXp5_9
An uptick in brazenly pro-government Bollywood movies highlights the close relationship between India’s ruling party and mainstream media – as well as the risks of blurring the lines between politics, news, and entertainment. Writing for The Christian Science Monitor in Delhi, Sushmita Pathak reports some new movie releases reflect a broader shift in Indian #cinema over the past decade, one that some critics say has transformed #Bollywood into an extension of the prime minister Narendra Modi's PR machine. #propaganda #movies #India https://lnkd.in/eHXH-cjB
What's a doula? If you are expecting a child - especially for the first time - a doula, a woman, who provides guidance and support to a pregnant woman during labor, can make all the difference during childbirth. For Black expectant mothers, doulas have helped restore trust in a medical system that has a history of mistreating them. Read more in Cameron Pugh's story in The Christian Science Monitor read how doulas provide non-medical help: counsel on what to expect; advocacy during delivery and doctor’s appointments; and a place to express emotions ranging from excitement, to, for many Black families, fear. #pregnancy #childbirth #midwives https://lnkd.in/eP4wQfz6
