A Year Later: 21 Days in May and June That Are Still Changing America
Leading off Tarbell’s “A Year Later” series, the 3-week timeline following the murder of George Floyd, “21 Days in May and June That Are Still Changing America: A Brief Timeline And Historic Firsts”, was written to function as a kind of time capsule. Even through the fog of the domino effect that was immediately triggered, it was clear that this was not going to be just another story lost in the 3 ½ year-long never-ending news cycle.

During his 35 year professional career, Scott Terry has a demonstrable track record of success in leading commercial, government, and academic organizations.
The Outsized Role That The Disinformation Crisis Played In The 2020 Election
By Brent Korson As we saw on January 6th, even though the 2020 election has ended, the U.S. remains strapped in for its four-years-long-and-counting rollercoaster ride. One of the defining features of this unending breaking news blitzkrieg has been the inherent inability to pause and substantively reflect on the grand “what just happened?” of it all. It’s rather difficult to meaningfully consider a historically dangerous ride that’s still going full throttle.

The Fog of The Interregnum Between Election Day and Inauguration Day
For four years, there’s been no serious question about how Donald Trump would react if he lost the 2020 election. Over the 1400 days since his presidency began, every anti-democracy act, anti-factual tweet and anti-reality statement has accumulated into an ironclad case for how his presidency would end (be it 4 years or 8 years).
Starting November 4th, America Is On Its Way to Unprecedented Protesting
If ever there were a time for journalists, news outlets and the media at large to not parse words, this is it. Election Day has finally arrived and the gravity and urgency of the situation seems to have fully landed across the media landscape, as well as the nation itself. Understandably, the unprecedented act of the first President in our country’s history to pre-announce a corrupt election process, ad nauseum, has been one of the most difficult stories for news outlets to cover in modern times.
How To Avoid Spreading Misinformation - Both On Social Media And Offline - During This 2020 Election Day Run-Up Period
By Brent Korson When we read about “spreading misinformation”, the connotation typically defaults to bad actors. But most of us who’ve ever had a social media account has likely, unknowingly, shared misinformation.
The Administration Who Cried “Wolf”
The last few weeks have, unsurprisingly, only grown more jarring and chaotic in the run-up to Election Day.
All The President’s Lies Matter
At a time when this administration’s lies have been honed and weaponized to the point of functioning as the single most potent source of their ammunition, it’s been long overdue for the kind of reckoning that gets captured behind closed doors and on tape. Three years and eight months into this Presidency is better late than never.

The President’s War on the 2020 Election is Being Waged Across 4 Battles
There may be a better, clearer way to make sense of what we’re experiencing. Though the news and information ecosystem plies daily assaults on our senses, threatening to exceed our collective bandwidth, we have the means to process what’s happening with greater clarity. This isn’t in reference to the events directly related to COVID-19 or the Black Lives Matter protest movement, though they do play indirect, byproduct roles.
21 Days in May and June That Are Still Changing America: A Brief Timeline And Historic Firsts
The flurry of seismic events and historic firsts in the weeks following George Floyd’s murder, amidst COVID-19, have flown by so quickly it can feel like the magnitude hasn’t registered. The enormity probably hasn’t sunk in because we’re still in the throes of both the pandemic and the initial stage of acknowledging systemic racism in a country painfully unable to do so.
Comparing the Republican Party’s Response to Coronavirus alongside Climate Change: Remember The Past, Think About The Present and Consider The Future
With the arrival of the novel coronavirus, we’re watching each country experience its own Rorschach test. We’re seeing how each nation responds based on its site specific differences: culture, population, citizen proximity, infection rate, seasonality, geography, topography. Then there’s the human element of how each region approaches this pandemic, as reflected through its citizens and leaders.
Wartime Mobilization Has Arrived: The Grassroots Nationwide Response By Everyday Americans Unwilling To Wait On The Federal Government
There was one thing about the White House’s response to the novel coronavirus pandemic that was clear from the beginning. The investigative journalism that would eventually uncover what happened behind closed doors in January, February and March would reveal devastating evidence of how epically this administration mishandled it. The reports came sooner rather than later, as early as April 4th in the Washington Post and April 11th for the New York Times.
“This is Going To Be Constant From This Point On” As Coronavirus Surges, Tracking The PPE Shortage Storm in Some States, and The Calm Before, In Others | Tarbell
As the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) shortage crisis strikes the country, New York remains the hardest hit. To convey the scale, Mayor Bill De Blasio’s team wrote us last week, “To give a sense of the sheer magnitude, The City of New York, our Department of Health, Emergency Management, Health and Hospitals – all agencies are working together.
Amid Coronavirus pandemic; Where is the Defense Production Act?
The Most Pressing Question in America’s Fight Against Coronavirus There’s a lot to process right now, in the time of coronavirus, which means the questions to prioritize feel daunting. The one that keeps returning to the top of the list though, is straightforward: Why aren’t Governors and Mayors receiving more of the life-saving equipment they repeatedly demand from the federal government in the midst of a global pandemic to stave off an exponentially growing body count?
