five secrets of Crisis Communication, I was most interested in the formula of risk = hazard + outrage and how the nature of communications was so tied into this balance.

Emergency Site for the Oil Spill

2011 Media Response Team
During times of crisis relief I learned a number of tricks from my government colleagues working with comedians, crisis commons leaders and other organizers. USE MEDIA STARS.

IMAGINE 1
Ten years from now, That's a long time away but a short time to act. I see myself as starting a media company that is democratically run. I have been doing some research lately onto the growing trend of democratic businesses and have found the idea very attractive. Since I am a worker in media, I feel that I have responsibility to improve it. My grievance is that news media has become profit oriented, and the facts be damned for fear of a loss of ad revenue or ratings. True, these companies… Continue

Communicating a Crisis
The section on outbreak communication in Learn 9 covers how journalists SHOULD report responsibly during crisis. This is a very important issue especially when one looks at the role the media – particularly community radio stations - supposedly played in “fuelling” various crisis eg.

Raising Women Producers, Directors & LEADERS!
About 10 years ago I began teaching young girls how to create websites, videos and other digital media creations. The impact of this work is tremendous: a girl quickly realizes her power to create change in the world when given the tools to make new movements.
This year I am teaching a group of girls how to produce their own web series and mobilize their community around new endeavors. We started small, paying for 4 flip cameras for these students to start videotaping their…

Trying to get Evoke Dirty
Okay, so I just did something I think deserves a couple courage points. I sent an email to the makers of Dirt: The Movie (trailer in the videos section) asking them if they would give an exclusive online access to members of the Evoke network.

You don't need a million movies... Part 1
... to reach a million people.
I recently discovered Evoke thanks to my cousin, so I have a bit of catching up to do. In order to do this quickly I've decided to combine two learn missions in a two part post, namely the first and fourth. The first learn challenge was to pick one of thirty three secrets of social innovation that was my favourite. I chose "think and act big – don’t do anything that can’t reach…

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
