’18 AND LIFE TO GO: OUR YEAR IN ALTERNATIVE MASS MEDIA

Written by DIG STAFF Posted December 19, 2018 Filed Under: Analysis, Media Farm, News, NEWS+OPINIONS

It’s anybody’s guess why cheeseball mainstream outlets tend to ignore topics such as poverty, surveillance, and climate change. Whatever the reason, we don’t spend too much time worrying about them; as you’ll see below, we had our hands full all year covering the stuff that they missed.

THE BOSTON GLOBE AND JOHN OLIVER: WHICH ONE IS FULL OF CRAP ABOUT CHARTER SCHOOLS?

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted August 22, 2016 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Media Farm, NEWS+OPINIONS

NOVEMBER BALLOT MEASURE MADNESS: 4 QUESTIONS TO HOLD MASS OVER UNTIL POT LEGALIZATION IN 2016

Written by DIG INTERN Posted October 14, 2014 Filed Under: NEWS+OPINIONS

Historically speaking, 54 percent of questions put to Bay State voters have been approved since 1990. This time, after much speculation and signature wrangling—and in one case a court intervention—four initiatives remain from an initial field of 33. So there are really only two questions left: Which ones will pass, and which will flame out?
