Re: “One thing helping Trump’s approval rating: Some people aren’t paying attention” (Could 20, Nation & World):
The most recent New York Occasions/Siena Faculty ballot discovered that President Donald Trump’s approval rankings have been greater with voters who hadn’t adopted the foremost information tales of his first 100 days. And voters who mentioned they’d not heard a lot about latest information occasions had one factor in frequent: They have been more likely to get their information from social media.
I’m considering higher knowledgeable voters is a good suggestion, so I’m providing a suggestion, the right reward for almost any event: a subscription to knowledgeable information supply, whether or not this native paper, the hometown paper, or a nationwide information journal like Newsweek, or one of many many glorious on-line information websites like Washington State Normal or, in fact, one of many main newspapers like The New York Occasions. Or, for that particular somebody, a present of their title to an area public radio or tv station, a present which will encourage the recipient to tune in to it extra typically.
Regardless of the selection, investing in skilled journalism is an funding in a stronger democracy — and a present we’ll all be glad about.
