Learning and teaching

Article Abstract:

Journalist/scholar Orville Schell observes that most Chinese are blindly ignorant about their own history amd have had their sense of history so warped by communist propaganda, a controlled press and ideologically skewed university curricula. Since to investigate their own history would mean asking questions that could prove too embarrassing to the government, most citizens have opted to simply 'not think about it' and develop amnesia regarding their pre-communist party past. This cultural lobotomy is an incalculable loss.

From hellholes with love: insurgent journalism from Poland to Pristina

Article Abstract:

People react more positively to individual faces that journalists can give to suffering, according to The New Republic special correspondent Anna Husarska, who is also a 1998 to 1999 Media Studies Center fellow. She feels that people will respond emotionally to the suffering of an individual, whereas they may not do so in the case of mass suffering. As a journalist, she seeks to be concrete and to make readers aware of the circumstances of ordinary people.
