"Accounts vary of what happened when students faced an Native American elder in Washington. Steve Inskeep talks to Adam Benforado, author of Unfair who argues camera angles undermine our legal system."

"A suspended Twitter account appears to have help spread video of a controversial encounter between a group of Catholic school boys and a Native American elder."

"Public frustration with policing has led to calls nationwide for more cameras worn by officers. But what do those cameras actually reveal? Below, you'll answer questions about three videos of simulated interactions involving police officers."

"You may have heard that self-driving cars are safer than cars with human drivers. And that's probably true. Still, as driverless vehicles inch closer and closer to the country's freeways and side streets, we'll probably hear more and more about AI-controlled vehicles getting into deadly accidents. Even a perfect driver can't avoid every accident. So if a self-driving car finds itself in a situation where a deadly accident is inevitable, how should it make a decision to minimize the damage?"

"We knew we could be champions because the ones we watched on TV looked just like us. And we had already learned that to escape to a better life, we needed to be wearing a jersey. The jersey became a cape; our talents on the field became the superpowers we were recognized for. We were black boys. And to be born a black boy is to be born into athletics. Black fathers are often disappointed if their sons aren't good at sports. Not excelling at sports as a black boy meant not being cool - even weirder, it meant not really being black. When you're growing up as a black boy, it feels like the world tosses you a ball and says, Good luck. Go get 'em, Champ. We all believed we were the chosen ones who could do the impossible, what we saw so many before us fail to do: make it to the National Football League. Eventually, I did. But most of the black boys I spent my afternoons with, playing in imaginary Super Bowls, weren't at the lockers next to mine. Most of the black boys who picture themselves winning this Sunday's game will never play in a real one. And that's fine: Playing in the NFL isn't really - and shouldn't have to be - every black boy's dream. But black boys don't always know that their dreams off the field matter. They need the space to see other, diverse possibilities for themselves. Black boys shouldn't have to feel that being good at sports is the only way to be cool - or to be valued by the world. A jersey isn't the only cape a black boy can wear."

"Planning on quitting the social platform? A major new study offers a glimpse of what unplugging might do for your life. "

A media literacy resource.

"It is hard to escape mass media these days. Images and messages bombard us from the Internet, television, magazines, newspapers, radio, bill-boards. Societal messages can come from the government and education sectors, as well as more explicit industries such as beauty, health and fitness. Advertisers have worked hard to create images that make us feel as if we are lacking somehow, so that we want to buy their products. It is not just ideas about looks that we get from society. We also infer how our personalities, talents and achievements "should" be."

"Retail and Alexa are just the start of the path toward total domination"

"How will life change when every noise becomes a search prompt?"

" Despite dramatic changes in the form, the basic premise of advertising has remained unchanged-strangers with an agenda attempt to co-opt your attention and guide your thoughts. But technology has fundamentally changed the extent to which we experience advertising. Empowered by technology's inexorable expansion into every facet of our lives, modern advertising has become so ubiquitous that it is unavoidable. Every new technology has advertising potential, and the brands of our brave new world hate nothing more than wasted potential."

"What are we to believe, even when we see something with our own eyes? As Poynter senior faculty member Al Tompkins says, "The difference between accuracy and truth is context.'' That's the lesson when it comes to looking at the video of the standoff between Catholic high school students and the Native American drummer in Washington, D.C., over the weekend. We all saw what we saw. A young man wearing a Make America Great Again hat standing in front of a Native American banging a drum and chanting. But did we really see what we think we saw? Some of us saw a long video of the event. Some of us saw an abbreviated version. Some of us saw just a photo."

"Songs by rising artists like Sam Fender and Henry Jamison, and the bands Idles and As It Is, protest old notions of manhood."

"Fake news is a term that's become popular today, but what does it actually mean? And how pervasive is it?"

"A Gillette advert which references bullying, the #MeToo movement and toxic masculinity has split opinion online. The razor company's short film, called Believe, plays on their famous slogan "The best a man can get", replacing it with "The best men can be". The company says it wants men to hold each other "accountable". Some have praised the message of the advert, which aims to update the company's 30-year-old tagline, but others say Gillette is "dead" to them. The ad has been watched more than 2 million times on YouTube in 48 hours."

"How you see the role of men and women at work and at home has become an integral element of contemporary political conflict. Until recently, most of the attention has been focused on partisan evaluations of problems confronting women. A 2017 Pew Research report found, for example, that by nearly 3 to 1 (73-25 percent), Democrats believe women face "significant obstacles that make it harder for them to get ahead than men," while Republicans believe those obstacles are largely gone (63-34). Last week, however, the American Psychological Association entered the fray with the release of its long-planned "Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men." The A.P.A. guidelines argue that the socialization of males to adhere to components of "traditional masculinity such as emotional stoicism, homophobia, not showing vulnerability, self-reliance and competitiveness" leads to the disproportion of males involved in "aggression and violence as a means to resolve interpersonal conflict" as well as "substance abuse, incarceration, and early mortality.""

"CNN's Kirsten Powers asked critics of the Gillette ad targetting 'toxic masculinity' why they find it so "triggering" and what is it about "treating women with respect and equality that's so offensive to you?" Powers said Wednesday that if you're upset about this, you should be asking yourself why. "I think if you're somebody whose having sort of a triggering reaction to this, you might want to look at yourself and ask why that is because what is it about treating women with respect and equality that's so offensive to you?" Powers asked."

"When Tinder became available to all smartphone users in 2013, it ushered in a new era in the history of romance"

"However, when considering our current fixation on representation, I have to wonder if we have overlooked other meaningful ways of being represented, those that can be pinpointed only in life experiences and emotional phenomenon beyond the visible self. When I think of all the "black art" being ushered in by this new era, I feel conflicted. As a black person, I enjoy seeing artists whose careers are finally being given due praise and whose voices are at last being amplified. However, a question arises of what it means to be truly represented. Is it enough to look like the artist if you do not recognize yourself in the art? And yet there is nothing simple about it. Representation is such a complicated issue because on the surface it presents itself as a politically correct, objective good for all of society. For those being represented, it plays to a collective sense of pride and personal vanity. It feels good to see ourselves and know that people in our communities are being paid to craft their own narratives. Representation also presents the opportunity for other communities, which might have otherwise stereotyped or discriminated against us, to see our humanity and acknowledge our worth in the art we produce. However, while representation may be a praiseworthy standard for creative industries, it cannot be the bench mark against which we measure good art. Good art must do more than reflect our own images back at us. It must move us to a place beyond our obsession with identity, sense of tribalism and fear of others."

"Michael Brennan, who founded the award-winning safeguarding platform tootoot, was himself a victim of cyberbullying at school. "There were too many barriers for me to speak up, especially in high school. It was all happening on places like Bebo and MySpace, where there was no way to tackle it. So, I vowed to find a solution to the problem." Since Michael launched tootoot in 2014, the reporting app has worked with more than 1,000 British schools, with over 400,000 children registered on the platform. Children can log in and report problematic messages to their school or local council, and are assigned a unique number when they log in to report bullying. Schools can keep track of how many times an individual child has experienced bullying, build a chronology, and identify patterns on a dashboard. If they feel it's necessary, they can click to reveal the identity of a child reporting bullying."
