We media and democracy
This document discusses how people access and consume news from different sources in modern times. It notes that younger people often get news from social media apps, while older generations rely more on newspapers and television. While social media makes news more accessible, it can also be unreliable because the stories that appear on feeds are based more on popularity than importance. More traditional news sources like the BBC are generally more reliable because they back up stories with evidence and multiple perspectives. However, social media still allows for a more democratic spread of news and opinions as people can share and discuss stories online.
We media
The document discusses how the author consumes news through their mobile phone and prefers reliable sources like the BBC and SKY. Social media sites are also used to share news and can help promote democracy by raising awareness for causes. While some argue social media is mostly used for entertainment, the author believes sites like Twitter can also be used to enact political change through organizing protests. The internet provides news from both large organizations and individuals to keep people informed on topics.

Carter's story subverts expectations by portraying Little Red Cap and the wolf in a more ambiguous, complex manner. It challenges traditional archetypes and themes in fairytales to examine them through a different lens. The universal themes in fairytales allow them to be adapted to different contexts while maintaining relevance for different audiences.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

- 1. Social Media Policy in Newsrooms Common Sense or Censorship At Its Finest?
- 4. As journalists, many of us are already overworked and underpaid… and now you’re telling me I can’t Tweet during my down time?
- 7. So basically, you have 2 options: (1) Abide by the policies or (2) Quit and blog full time. Hey, your rules, your way… probably lesser pay, though
