Information is our source for action.
We are influenced by the media we are most often exposed to - whether avid readers of Wired News or the local weekly paper that prints no more than a social column and the market on Hogs at the Chicago stock exchange. Because of the exponentially growing sources of information, it is not possible for all of us to be taking our information from the same source. Most media outlets now tailor themselves for a certain demographic of people, presenting information in a slant to please the people purchasing the products advertised at their commercial breaks. So to reach the audience you wish to educate, you need to find out what they read, what they watch, where they go. It's really about research, or in my case a lucky fifteen minute boredom break.
