As a mob attacked the Capitol, Wikipedia struggled to find the right words
Read more: How Wikipedia’s volunteers became the web’s best weapon against misinformation Like us, future historians will study the article to learn about what happened on January 6. And, as Slate‘s Stephen Harrison and others have previously pointed out, if they look at the behind-the-scenes debates over language, at these first (and second and third) drafts of history, they could also see how we processed the event in real time.

We’re in the midst of a caregiving crisis. Here’s how Biden may address it
While the $900 billion stimulus bill that just passed earmarked $10 billion for childcare funding, advocates say that’s just a fraction of what the industry needs to survive this period, which is believed to be in the range of $50 billion.

The Ascent Of “Mad”: See 60 Years Of Comic Subversion
The Original Kin Mad–now owned by DC Entertainment and parent company Time Warner–began in 1952, the brainchild of publisher Bill Gaines, an eccentric, imposing figure, whose family owned E.C.

There have been only four editors–Harvey Kurtzman, Al Feldstein, Nick Meglin, and Ficarra–who created a breeding ground for such creative talent as writer Frank Jacobs, cartoonist Don Martin, Fold-in creator Al Jaffee, caricaturist Mort Drucker, cartoonist-writer Sergio Aragones, and Spy vs. Spy creator Antonio Prohías. In 1995, Mad licensed its name and bits to the late-night Fox sketch comedy series MADtv. … [Read more...] about The Ascent Of “Mad”: See 60 Years Of Comic Subversion
How Rebuilding A Culture Can Reap Dramatic Results: Meet The Viral Wizards Duval Guillaume Modem
Staff numbers were reduced, traditional departments–including a dedicated digital production unit–were disbanded, and a more collaborative working culture was created where digital expertise was integrated throughout. The new approach, introduced three years ago and established for the past two, was driven as much by the determination of the agency’s founders to make their mark on a global stage under new owners as their desire to respond to market changes. Happily, the two have coincided. … [Read more...] about How Rebuilding A Culture Can Reap Dramatic Results: Meet The Viral Wizards Duval Guillaume Modem
