- Description: If there is one thing journalists should know about the "Information Society", it's this: never use the phrase as if its meaning speaks for itself. This is one of the most slippery and contentious phrases yet to grace contemporary discourse. For a start, why "Information Society" and not "Knowledge Society"? And why "society" and not "economy"? This is not academic semantics. There are wholly different meanings at stake with different implications for journalists, politicians, policy makers and many more.

- Description: Our journalism about poverty is pitiful. It's a story about the poverty of our journalism. But let's start with the not-so-bad news: unlike many other countries, we do report poverty. Also, unlike many other places, we don't blame the victims - rather, we tend to be sympathetic.
