Birth of a term: Unmedia
For 100 years, there has been a prejudice In the schools against facts and knowledge. Now we see the same tendency in the media.
The Times has become the very paradigm of what can only be called Unmedia. There seem to be many striking resemblance to the old media but they don't do much of a job. Thus the term Unmedia. Compare Uncola.
I think we live in what might be called the Big Silence. Anyway this article explores this idea and gives examples of major stories that have never appeared in the New York Times. Remember, they claim to be the newspaper of record. They have to cover all these stories even if they don't like them.

My own hope is that we go back to knowledge in the schools, and facts in the media. Jefferson said it: we can't expect to be ignorant and free at the same time.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
