Whether you're identifying with a religious group, a technology group, or some other group, I often wonder if you truly care if the information you receive is false.

"The whole world is watching" was one of the loudest rallying cries of Vietnam protesters gathered in the streets of Chicago outside the Democratic convention in 1968.

While it can't really decide something so vague as "should I r...
When questions about the future of journalism come up, there are generally two driving concerns: what happens to the notion of "news" in an era of ubiquitous communications; and how you, as a writer, get paid. One of the great paradoxes of the information age is that as channels of distribution have...

The soundtrack for today's column is provided by the Dex Romweber Duo and their new CD, "Ruins of Berlin." It's a choice slice of rockabilly heaven with several tunes that would fit right in streaming from a jukebox in some blood-soaked Quentin Tarantino epic. Yet for all the retro goodness in the s...
