What I Learned from Visiting the Most Instagrammed Outdoor Places

Are social media and selfie culture killing the outdoors? Nah… but as a visit to some overshared spots reveals, they’re challenging our notions about whether there’s a right way to appreciate nature—and who gets to do it.

Opinion | To Be Hungry in the Middle of the Pandemic

In the neighborhoods most devastated by the coronavirus, food insecurity has emerged as a major concern.

Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/04/opinion/coronavirus-food-banks-hunger.html

In the best of times, life in New York City can be unforgiving. It was hard enough, working full tilt, to cover rent, child care and food before the pandemic. Now, in the neighborhoods most devastated by the coronavirus, life has become more precarious. And the most elemental human need — food — has become a pressing, urgent concern.

Japanese photographer Takamoto Yamauchi’s latest series was created during several journeys within Japan and overseas and is a dark trip into the depths of the human psyche. Selected from over 30,000 photographs, Yamauchi’s “Vortex” slowly came into being during the author’s year-long correspondence with Daido Moriyama. The result is a dizzying series of photographs that transcends genres and engages in metaphors and narrative subtlety to explore Yamauchi’s interests in the black parts of the human psyche.

The Gold We Inherited, the Gold of Our Dreams

Gold has fascinated humankind for millennia. Ancient civilizations across the world saw the powerful sun in its yellow glow and sought…

via Medium: https://witness.worldpressphoto.org/the-gold-we-inherited-the-gold-of-our-dreams-9ef637dc6280

I originally envisioned bright photographs for this project, to mimic the sun-like quality of gold. But I ended up being drawn to the darkness surrounding gold’s glow, that hints at the mystery, greed, and violence associated with it over time. That, too, is part of Peru’s gold legacy. The glimpse of flickering light in the darkness, the promise of wealth for anyone willing to grasp at it.

It was getting dark when I got the call. Luz, my wife, was telling me that they had killed her brother Beto. She was uncontrollable — I had never heard her speak like that. Her voice was shaking, breaking. I could not sleep all night. “Beto was killed, hanged,” resonated in my head, “he was beaten, burned, but they told us that he committed suicide.” Her other brothers, David and Nacho, had been missing for over 3 months.

Spies, Lies, and Stonewalling: What It’s Like to Report on Facebook

One day in July 2016, Casey Newton, a tech reporter for The Verge, sat down at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park for the biggest interview of his career. Across from him was Mark Zuckerberg. With his characteristic geeky excitement, Zuckerberg described the promising initial test flight of Aquila, a drone with a wingspan larger than […]

via Columbia Journalism Review: https://www.cjr.org/special_report/reporting-on-facebook.php/

With the knowledge that a company that has built a globe-spanning surveillance apparatus might always be watching, reporters and sources take tremendous precautions. Any Facebook-issued device, or even a phone with the Facebook app installed, could be vulnerable to the company’s internal investigators. If a source has friended a reporter on a social network or merely looked up their profile on a company computer, Facebook can find out. It can potentially tap location data to see if a reporter and a source appear to be in the same place at the same time.

Visualizing Police Violence Against Journalists At Protests Across The U.S – bellingcat

via bellingcat: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/americas/2020/06/05/visualizing-police-violence-against-journalists-at-protests-across-the-us/

We plotted all of this data onto an interactive map. You can use this map to visualize where these incidents happened in space and time, and notice some areas where multiple instances happened over the course of a protest. This indicates these were not “one time incidents” or accidents due to journalists getting in the way. There is evidence here of systematic and conscious repression of the press at these protests, in cities all across the country — and the data that has been collected is the proof.
