Truth: a slippery concept
Posted in :: Publishing ::

from The New Yorker: The Talk of the Town

"On Kean’s page there has been a long-running take-it--out-put-it-back-in duel concerning a video of the candidate shunning an antiwar activist whose son is stationed in Falluja. Menendez supporters write up the incident on Wikipedia, under the heading "Refusal to meet with military families."Kean supporters, in response, add a few sentences about how the incident was a setup, orchestrated by the Me-nendez campaign. "

Wikipedia, long held up as proof of what is possible if you trust the crowd now illustrates that not all topics are equally suited to the wikipedia approach: the "truth" is changing every second.

AIGA Polling Place Photo Project - Home

With citizens' images and the information that accompanies them, the Project becomes a research tool on how voting happens in America and how it can be designed to be easier, less confusing and more enjoyable. The project intends to collect photographs of every polling place in America, so you are encouraged to participate no matter where you vote, how large or small your polling place is, what kind of ballot you use, or what your party affiliation.
