It’s one of the iconic photographs of American history: A Black teenager, a policeman and his lunging German Shepherd. Birmingham, Alabama, May of 1963. In May of 2020, as reporter Paul Kix stared at a different photo–that of a Minneapolis police officer suffocating George Floyd–he kept returning to the other photo taken half a century earlier, haunted by its echoes. What, Kix wondered, was the full legacy of the Birmingham photo? And of the campaign it stemmed from?

Chang believes it is time to take a page from Ronald Reagan’s playbook and work to bring down the enemy: the Communist Party. The Communist Party often talks about “win-win” solutions, but as its actions make clear, it believes there can be only one survivor, either the People’s Republic of China or the United States of America. China has a plan to destroy America. Does America have a plan to defend itself?

Anil loves karate, his friends, and the solar power project he has been championing in his community. He doesn’t love having to speak up—as his karate sensei says, best fight, no fight. Still, Anil wishes his classmate Mohan would stop picking on him. Then Anil learns where the city is planning to build a new solar panel factory.

During the recent presidential election, "media literacy" became a buzzword that signified the threat media manipulation posed to democratic processes. Meanwhile, statistical research has shown that eight- to eighteen-year-olds pack more than eleven hours with some form of media into each day by "media multitasking." Young people are not only eager and interested to learn about and discuss the realities of media ownership, production, and distribution, they also deserve to understand differential power structures in how media influences our culture.

In March 1946, scientists began to track thousands of children born in one cold week as part of a birth cohort study. No one imagined that this would become the longest-running study of human development in the world, growing to encompass five generations of children. Today, they are some of the best-studied people on the planet, and the simple act of observing human life has changed the way we are born, schooled, parented, and die.

In a world of infinite information and propaganda screaming at us from every direction, the truth is of paramount importance to our mental health, and can be a matter of life and death for every person on this planet. In The Propaganda Project, I expose the tricks of the propagandist--the tricks needed to legitimize the illegitimate, to make us think up is down, black is white.

Few things are as fundamental in business as communication. At a time when routines are being displaced by automation and everything is just "a project," employees often feel uninformed, and companies feel like piles of chaos. Face-to-face meetings, emails, and phone calls are holding the enterprise together in a makeshift way, as if tied together with twine. Internal politics is not only the order of the day, but a fundamental tool for effectiveness. Board members as well as employees who simply want to get meaningful work done are becoming more and more frustrated.

Wenige Dinge sind im Unternehmen so grundlegend wie Kommunikation. In einer Zeit, in der die Routine durch Automation verdrängt wird und alles nur noch "ein Projekt" ist, fühlen sich Mitarbeitende oft uninformiert und das eigene Unternehmen gleicht einem Chaoshaufen. Wie an Bindfäden halten persönliche Meetings, E-Mails und Telefonate die Unternehmensarchitektur notdürftig zusammen und Politik ist nicht nur an der Tagesordnung, sondern grundlegendes Werkzeug für Wirksamkeit. Immer mehr sind davon frustriert.
