Rustle them hard + +If you'd like to take some direction from modern, professional journalism, I recommend taking a look at the _Frontline Formula_. Frontline is a documentary series on PBS that focuses on difficult, intricate topics and attempts to present a balanced description while still engaging the viewer. + +The formula depends on first finding a human story that epitomizes the issue, and follows that person as they are affected by the issue typically involving serious struggles of life/death, losing one's family/career, or the destruction of their way of life. By focusing on the human drama, the viewer identifies with the subject as a human being and cares what is happening to them. The viewer then 1) will pay more attention to *why* this person is suffering, 2) and will sit through more technical information in order to find out *what happened* to them. + +In order to explain why the subject is suffering, the documentarian can then introduce all manner of technical information with bite-sized pieces of deep background to give the viewer *understanding*. The viewer doesn't feel they had to slog through a technical manual to understand some esoteric topic. They just watched a human drama unfold and just happened to absorb some technical information along the way. + +For a great example, I recommend watching [_The Nightmare Bacteria_ online] ( http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/hunting-the-nightmare-bacteria/ ). Right up front they tell you what technical bits they are going to cover, but just as quickly they turn it into a human drama. + +I'm not suggesting you make a Frontline clone on youtube - that would be cheesy. I do suggest finding a human story from which you can hang all this information. With whom do you want your audience to *sympathize*? How have they been affected?

Or if someone has a link to a more recent one. - - - - =============== SHITPOSTING & BROPOSTING =============== (**FunPost**) - whee, so fun :^) - where the funposting at Happy?no:^) - waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat - ayyy lmao - this is my favorite kind of posting - Not shitposting? - - - http://i.imgur.com/x3HO47j.jpg - Oh shit, Artemis is there? That shit is fucking awesome. - http://antinegationism.tumblr.com/ - - Whats this stuff about greyhound buses? - - - Is 90 an actual number or is it just a joke? - And really, it doesn't matter how many dudes she slept with, what matters is our plan if any of them would raise corruption/conflict of interest questions. - - Yeah, I agree, as soon as there's a conflict of interest even one is too much. - - - So what now? Do we just wait till the mods stop acting like dicks? - Since when does waiting work? We need some kind of action. Maybe get people to come here? - Well I guess I was wrong, Waiting DID work, threads are going to bump limit agian, although #gamergate still causes the thread to autosage. - Patience, grasshopper - - We need to define a goal. - Uhhh.... we want total disclosure from our journalists, transparency and those who do not comply to their fucking press ethics to be terminated. The same standard that journalists uphold in any other area - - Hey, how much does a copyright cost? - - Depends on the country you file it in, I think it's 15-30$ in America. - - Put a copyright on Silverstring media. They have apparently neglected to. - They'd probably just start up again in a different name, if that SA link is factual. Might rustle their jimmies, though. - Rustle the jimmies anon. Rustle them hard - - If you'd like to take some direction from modern, professional journalism, I recommend taking a look at the _Frontline Formula_. Frontline is a documentary series on PBS that focuses on difficult, intricate topics and attempts to present a balanced description while still engaging the viewer. - - The formula depends on first finding a human story that epitomizes the issue, and follows that person as they are affected by the issue typically involving serious struggles of life/death, losing one's family/career, or the destruction of their way of life. By focusing on the human drama, the viewer identifies with the subject as a human being and cares what is happening to them. The viewer then 1) will pay more attention to *why* this person is suffering, 2) and will sit through more technical information in order to find out *what happened* to them. - - In order to explain why the subject is suffering, the documentarian can then introduce all manner of technical information with bite-sized pieces of deep background to give the viewer *understanding*. The viewer doesn't feel they had to slog through a technical manual to understand some esoteric topic. They just watched a human drama unfold and just happened to absorb some technical information along the way. - - For a great example, I recommend watching [_The Nightmare Bacteria_ online] ( http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/hunting-the-nightmare-bacteria/ ). Right up front they tell you what technical bits they are going to cover, but just as quickly they turn it into a human drama. - - I'm not suggesting you make a Frontline clone on youtube - that would be cheesy. I do suggest finding a human story from which you can hang all this information. With whom do you want your audience to *sympathize*? How have they been affected? What is their struggle? - - - ----- - - Original "Developer's Open Letter" https://archive.today/9JWjB - Notice that it can be used in *gamer's* favor as it is worded. - - - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6CWTsVIyk4&feature=youtu.be&t=24s - Hidden words. - -- 2.11.4.GIT
