library as city hub

Yes, he is described as the ultimate analytical guy, who will hone in the small improvements that will drive efficiencies and profit. Yet, he is also someone who's
always driven by the belief that what's good for the customer will ultimately turn out to be in the company's enlightened self-interest.For this reason he is constantly testing new ideas.For this reason he is constantly testing new ideas.For this reason he is constantly testing new ideas.
Will Jeff Bezos be good for journalism? Hard to say.
On Politico Richard Brandt, who spent 18 months writing a book about Bezos without ever managing to get an interview with anyone at the company, puts forth some thoughts.
Overall, the prevalent sentiment is one of hope -- that Internet-savvy Bezos will help disrupt an industry on the road to entertainment extinction and in desperate need for a way forward.
You can't persuade people you are relevant to what they are trying to do without actually providing that experience.

"romanticizing, stereotyping & criminalizing #indigenous peoples in mainstream media".bit.ly/1cKDYHW #Nepal v @risingvoices
Often living below the poverty line in remote or difficult-to-access areas, indigenous peoples in Asia may be without access to education or health services. An already precarious situation is worsened by, for example, ethnic persecution or land-grabbing from corporations or governments.
With some exceptions (such as the persecution of the Myanmar'sRohingya people), these concerns are often unheard, as these problems are structural rather than events-based and thus unappealing to mass media, and compounded by the lack of indigenous journalists to tell their own stories.

This is further made worse by local censorship
This is further made worse by local censorship. For example, if a government is making use of indigenous lands (often these are not formally titled, thus creating the possibility for lands to be claimed as unowned or unused) to exploit natural resources, journalists may be unwilling to write about the concerns for fear of reprisal.
