Jeff Bezos and the direction of the Washington Post
05/16/2016
Bezos stays out of journalistic matters except saying that the Washington Post should hire the best journalists it can. On issues of information technology he offers his advice and calls for improvements. In one situation he advised that the mobile app should download in miliseconds. The Washington Post has surpassed the New York Times in digital viewers online and is catching up to BuzzFeed. All this is being done without lowering the quality of content.

06/07/2016
The outcry about the lenient sentence for a sexual assault incident on the Stanford University campus in 2016. The controversial statement by the father that referred to "20 minutes of action," the boy's trauma, but said little or nothing about the girl, and the 6 month sentence when the prosecutors had asked for 4 years. The incident raises awareness about the permissive culture and drinking on university campuses in the U.S., which universities have failed to tackle over the years.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
