As 2018 drew to a close, both Time Magazine and High Country News each dedicated an entire issue to threats against independent journalism. In this article, we too, are going to delve into the issue, exploring the role of GST in independent journalism. Maps and journalism have incredible power to both inform and distort our view of the world. Tragically, journalists, and therefore, journalism, are under attack worldwide. In this article, we will explore the potential and dangers of mapping’s role in the press.

#Richard_Stengel, a former editor of TIME magazine , has said governments “have to” direct “propaganda” toward their own populations, and he is ‘not against it’.

These comments were made at a talk called Political Disruptions: Combating Disinformation and #Fake_News, organised by the highly influential Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) thinktank.

“Every country does it”

The news editor and former diplomat is also a regular analyst at US news site MSNBC.

He said:

Basically, every country creates their own narrative story and, you know, my old job at the State Department was what people used to joke as the ‘chief propagandist’ job.

In 1950, with the Cold War in full swing, Soviet journalists were looking desperately for something to help them fill their anti-American propaganda quota. In January of that year, a Time Magazine cover appeared that seemed to provide just the thing. It showed an early electromechanical computer called the Harvard Mark III, and boasted the cover line, “Can Man Build a Superman?” Here was a target that checked the ideological boxes. In May of 1950 Boris Agapov, the science editor of the Soviet Literary Gazette, penned a scornful critique of the American public’s fascination with “thinking machines.” He scoffed at the capitalist’s “sweet dream” of replacing class-conscious workers and human soldiers—who could choose not to fight for the bourgeoisie—with obedient robots. He mocked the idea of (...)

Parmi les meilleures innovations de l’année, selon Time Magazine, on trouve ce « kit de démarrage de la civilisation »... Un point de vue très réducteur et occidentalo-centré, qui place l’évolution technologique, et non la culture (au sens large), au cœur du processus civilisationnel.

Marcin Jakubowski built a tractor in six days. Then he told the world how to do it: he made the designs, the budget and an instructional video available free online. A farmer and technologist and the founder of Open Source Ecology, Jakubowski has identified the 50 most important machines required for modern life—from the soil pulverizer to the oven—and is working to make a prototype of a low-cost DIY version of each so that anyone anywhere can build them. “If we can lower the barriers to farming, building and manufacturing,” he says, “then we can unleash massive amounts of human potential.”
