  • Numbers need context. Anyone who has attended business school probably learned this in their first class at university. When the job report comes out and says the economy added 50,000 jobs, what does that mean?

    Well, it’s simple math. It means 0.015% more of the United States population is now employed that wasn’t before. Acknowledging that even that number needs context, 50,000 jobs doesn’t sound great, right?

  • This is an incredible moment for NAMLE and the media literacy community. To have the backing of Carnegie Corporation is a big, big deal.

  • The Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is my favorite roller coasters of all time! When Aerosmith’s Back in the Saddle helps launch the coaster, you know you’re in for a great ride.

  • Misleading. Biased. Exposed.

    These three words perfectly describe the White House’s web page about supposed media offenders.

    On the flip side, I think I would be honored to be included on Trump’s hall of shame if I were a media professional.

  • The “Gronowski Plowski” is a far superior play name as compared to the “Tush Push.”

  • The Heroes Game and Egg Bowl!

  • The Jack White halftime show during the Packers-Lions game was fantastic. And then Eminem came out of the floor and blew the roof off the place!

    This is what a rock show looks and sounds like. Now, just imagine 3 hours of that kind of intensity!

  • Good, better, best. Never let it rest until the good is better, and the better is best.

    Billy Williams, the Chicago Cubs great, shared this inspiring motto during his Hall of Fame speech. Now, Ben Johnson is using the motto to inspire the Chicago Bears.

    For anyone who wants to be exceptional at anything, put this motto on repeat and get to work!

  • Understanding many of us in Gen X is quite easy. RATM’s first album explains everything you need to know. We felt like this album sounds in the early 90’s, and we still feel this way today. Simple.
