Mickey Z. — World News Trust

September 30, 2021

 

When you post those happy concert video clips, do you miss us? As you click “share” on the ‘gram to show off your latest (indoor restaurant) meal, are you feeling even a little bit lonely? While typing something about “rise and grind” on your gym bathroom mirror selfies, does a hint of emptiness sneak into your soul? Do you feel any regret at all for not speaking out against repressive mandates — even when you don’t think they impact you? (Spoiler alert: They do.)

 

miss

 

You go about your lives with your mask on your face and your vaccination card in your wallet, and you think “I’ve done my part.” Have you? Does anyone’s part end when they take steps (real or imagined) to look out for themselves? 

Weren’t you banging pots and pans in spring 2020? Weren’t you making posts about how “we’re all in the together”? Didn’t you talk about things being better and more civil once Trump was dethroned? Didn’t you declare that we’d be done with alternate facts and fake news? What happened to you?

If you don’t miss us, do you think you’ll miss your rights when they’re taken from you? Will you miss your bodily sovereignty when digital medicine becomes the non-negotiable norm? 

Are you okay living your “best life” while friends and family members are being segregated for making personal choices about their own bodies? Have you already chosen to forget about us or does some part of you feel a pang of guilt deep inside? I just wanna know: Do you miss us?

 

Until the laws are changed or the power runs out, Mickey Z. can be found here. He is also the founder of Helping Homeless Women - NYC, offering direct relief to women on New York City streets. To help him grow this project, CLICK HERE and donate right now. And please spread the word!

These are 'reliable, unbiased and diverse news sources," according to Bing. -Francis

Finding reliable, unbiased and diverse news sources can be challenging in the era of information overload and media polarization. However, there are some criteria that can help us evaluate the quality and credibility of different news outlets. Some of these criteria are:

- Transparency: A reliable news source should disclose its ownership, funding, editorial policy, sources, corrections and contact information. It should also acknowledge its biases and perspectives, if any, and avoid conflicts of interest or hidden agendas.
- Accuracy: A reliable news source should verify its facts and data before publishing or broadcasting them. It should also correct any errors or mistakes promptly and prominently. It should not distort, omit or fabricate information to fit a certain narrative or agenda.
- Diversity: A reliable news source should represent a variety of voices, opinions and perspectives on different issues and topics. It should not exclude or marginalize any groups or viewpoints based on their identity, ideology or affiliation. It should also seek to cover a wide range of topics and regions, not just those that are popular or profitable.
- Accountability: A reliable news source should be accountable to its audience and the public interest. It should follow ethical and professional standards of journalism, such as fairness, balance, objectivity and independence. It should also respond to feedback, criticism and complaints from its readers, viewers or listeners.

Based on these criteria, some examples of reliable, unbiased and diverse news sources are:

- Associated Press (AP): AP is a global news agency that provides factual and comprehensive coverage of breaking news and current events from around the world. It is owned by its member newspapers and broadcasters, and operates independently from any government or corporate influence. It has a reputation for accuracy, impartiality and speed.
- Reuters: Reuters is another global news agency that delivers fast and accurate reporting on business, finance, politics, sports and entertainment. It is owned by Thomson Reuters Corporation, a multinational media company that adheres to a Trust Principles document that ensures its editorial independence and integrity. It has a diverse team of journalists and correspondents in over 200 locations worldwide.
- BBC: BBC is a public service broadcaster that provides news, information and entertainment across television, radio, online and mobile platforms. It is funded by a license fee paid by UK households, and governed by a Royal Charter that guarantees its editorial freedom and public accountability. It has a global reach and a commitment to impartiality, accuracy and diversity.
- NPR: NPR is a non-profit media organization that produces and distributes news, talk and cultural programming for radio stations across the US. It is funded by donations from listeners, sponsors and foundations, as well as some federal funds. It has a code of ethics that guides its journalism practices and values. It has a diverse staff and audience, and covers a broad spectrum of topics and issues.
- The Guardian: The Guardian is a British newspaper that publishes online and in print editions for the UK, US and Australia. It is owned by the Scott Trust Limited, a charitable foundation that ensures its editorial independence and financial sustainability. It has a progressive outlook and a reputation for investigative journalism and social justice. It has a diverse range of contributors and opinions, as well as an international perspective.
