      There is some good advice in this video about word usage. It could help you not embarrass yourself.

    This is a video on common mistakes people make in pronunciation, spelling and word usage. I thought it was appropriate considering the Poynter assessment we have due this week.

      Makes a good point here. Writing for scientific literature is VERY different from writing for the general public.
  • Gladwell is like a lot of journalists and public intellectuals whose greater commitment is to what is interesting, not necessarily true.
    • hwhisennand
      hwhisennand on 28 Oct 13
       
      Since when are journalists committing to what is interesting rather than what is true?
  • ...24 more annotations...
  • readers are moved to think and talk about important questions, situations, and events.
  • the evidence may be circumstantial but he doesn’t just make it up.
  • What if in telling one of these stories, the author inadvertently made life much harder for a large group of people who are disadvantaged in some way?
  • the famous Gladwell pivot, whereby he sets up an issue one way and then flips it around.
    • hwhisennand

      Does this method ALWAYS work? Is there a time where it wouldn't?
  • an extraordinarily high percentage of entrepreneurs are dyslexic
  • It’s that having dyslexia, and dealing with its consequences, played a causal role in their success.
  • Gladwell seems oblivious to how deeply hurtful the “desirable difficulty” suggestion might be to people who have to deal with being dyslexic, and to the parents who struggle, against institutional resistance, to get their dyslexic children help.
  • His light entertainment is likely to make it harder for many dyslexics to gain recognition of their condition from educators, or the early diagnosis and intervention that is effective for many.
    • hwhisennand
      hwhisennand on 28 Oct 13
       
      This is definitely something that MUST be considered by all writers. Is there ANYONE ELSE being impacted? How are they being impacted? Think of EVERYONE involved in the story.
  • So here’s an irony: what if Gladwell’s chapter makes it harder for a dyslexic to achieve the levels of success he venerates?
  • it has no bearing on what to do about a dyslexic child.
  • he’s created a meme whose existence doesn’t depend on being true.
  • Gladwell has a vastly larger audience and far more influence on what people think than any scientist who studies dyslexia or advocacy organizations like the International Dyslexia Association.
    • hwhisennand
      hwhisennand on 28 Oct 13
       
      Important: This is the influence most journalists have on the general public as well.
  • , it’s rational to be concerned that Gladwell’s message of desirable difficulty will have undesirable consequences for the mass of individuals who are dyslexic.
  • Gladwell knows this; he just wants it also known that the condition apparently had remarkably positive effects for some people, and why.
  • Now parents may be faced with yet another response: dyslexia isn’t a developmental disability, it’s desirable.
  • Is this Gladwell’s exact message? No. Will it be taken that way? Yes. Does his book promote shallow thinking about dyslexia? Absolutely. Was Chapter 3 such a compelling, rock-solid story that it had to be told, whatever the consequences? I don’t think so.
    • hwhisennand
      hwhisennand on 28 Oct 13
       
      Can this be said about any other story you've read recently?
  • not letting facts get in the way of a good story
  • Each chapter (or New Yorker article) explores an interesting, usually counterintuitive, idea by means of an engaging narrative, woven out of several types of cloth: personal biographies, telling anecdotes, research studies, expert opinions.
  • The average reader is not aware of what has been left out and thus can be easily mislead.
  • This is particularly bothersome to scientists whose own first commandment is something like: thou shalt address all relevant evidence, not merely the findings that support the most interesting, attention-getting hypothesis.

  • At some point, they or their company will screw up.
  • corporate executives must have a well thought out communications plan
  • Apologizing immediately shows that you acknowledge that something wrong has occurred. It does not equate to admitting any wrongdoing.
  • It’s important to be the first out of the gate to acknowledge the situation and its impact on the victims.
  • Respond where it happened.
  • If a company’s audience is active on Twitter, it should first communicate there and extend that communication to other platforms.
  • Committing to an investigation shows that the company is taking the issues seriously and equally important, it gives the company time to find out the relevant details of the problem while providing the public time to grieve knowing that there is some assurance that action will be taken.
  • Mistakes happen.
