ABOUT MEDIA - NAVIGATION Navigate for Insight - 20040826 Navigating the web, and this site in particular, to gain a greater ratio of insight to information is the goal. Learn how the content, format and links to various pages in this site contribute to ease of navigation for more insight. Writers, from the fifth century BC to the present, use the methods of creating contrasts and confrontations in articles, novels, plays, radio, film, TV and the Internet. These methods are ways to sustain interest and advance insight into a character and/or event. MMWii uses polarity, comparison and contrast, left and right ideologies and mainstream to alternative media organization methods in the attempt to find insight in the reporting of World/US issues. About Media includes links to Internet sites that, in turn, link to a variety of Mainstream and Alternative Media sites. I check the content on a number of these sites and look for what issues are and aren't covered by a majority of sites. Which sites are zombie like in what and how they report? Which sites promote completeness and clarity and thus increase the possibility of gaining insight? World/US Issues cover the issues that can have a profound impact on our lives. Clean and sustainable resources from the environment are crucial and environmental issues deserve top priority. Economics provides insight on how to allocate scarce resources. Organizational issues center on the structure and actions of governments, think tanks, ..., non-profit and profit organizations that influence our daily and long-term future lives. Navigating through all that information in our fast-paced lives is a challenge. That is a major reason for increasing our insight from information to more than one part in a hundred. The biggest reason is that insight gives a basis for the decisions necessary to promote democracy. The Monthly Comments on media and their reports adds to the core reports described in About Media and World/US Issues.
