Breaking News Consumer's Handbook

1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information. 
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
- "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
- "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't haveit.
- "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on a limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

Every summer since 1983, workers at Crater Lake National Park have gathered data about the lake’s famous clarity. The biologist Scott Girdner has led much of this work. When he retires, a hiring freeze will leave his position unfilled indefinitely. www.quantamagazine.org/mixing-is-th...

It's Don't Argue Inside Your Head With Other People Friday. There's no better day to practice gently moving your mind away when you find yourself arguing inside your head w/someone who's not present, or who it's not safe or not fair for you to argue with. Do this as many times as you need.
