Environmental paradigms: moving toward an ecocentric perspective

Article Abstract:

Nursing should move toward an ecocentric paradigm. Medicine is primarily grounded in an egocentric approach: what is best for the individual is best for society. Some nursing disciplines such as public health nursing use a homocentric approach: the greatest good is what is best for the most people. The ecocentric approach assumes that everything in the cosmos has worth and is interconnected. An ecocentric paradigm would expand nursing concepts to a more globally based and ecologically sound perspective.

Who stole the news?

Article Abstract:

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's unique teaser-only front format has been appearing on the paper's Sunday 'Bulldog' edition since Sep. 1996. The paper was inspired to try a teaser-only format due to the installation of new flexographic presses, increasing competition and editor John G. Craig Jr.'s passion for innovation and risk-taking. Although the format has not generated wide admiration, readers have neither been complaining nor requesting for a return to the traditional layout.
