Quartz - 0 views

    "Quartz is a digitally native news outlet for the new global economy." I just found this website today. Perhaps others are familiar with it, but it was completely new to me. It has a global focus and the first story I found focused on how newspapers are covering the protests in Bangkok with drones. I didn't know any country had accepted drone journalism. I also didn't know that people are protesting in Bangkok. The layout of the website is very unique. You can just scroll down to move from story to story. It also has a sidebar listing different content. The layout is refreshing and the site has a lot of unique content I hadn't seen before. This is worth checking out.

Age Calculator - 0 views

    Ok, this seems obvious. Journalists are inherently bad at math, but we all should be able to calculate a person's age. And to be clear, I am capable of doing that math. But let's say you're looking at court or police documents and it only lists a person's date of birth. Did this person just have a birthday? Or is it still months away? I like to use this age calculator to double check that I have the age right. This is something that's incredibly easy to get wrong. It's also an incredibly stupid mistake. You're probably the only one that is going to double check this person's age. Get it right.

      I enjoy finding new blogs devoted to media criticism, analysis and sticky issues. On The Media from NPR does just that.

      Some of the stories are entertaining like this one about an assistant principal filing a lawsuit against his students after they created a parody Facebook account about him.

      And because the blog is produced by NPR they have some great podcasts. I enjoy a good podcast. This week had a wide variety of topics to enjoy tackling issues from Obamacare to fake news.
