Alternative Sources
Tim Bray succintly and specifically highlights how the stories being told by the mainstream news media are either information-free, wrong, or immaterial.
As a positive counterpoint, he commends three sources in particular.
-
Martyn Williams from IDG, via his tweetstream, reporting just-the-facts and images and videos from past and present.
-
Randall Munroe (of xkcd) fame who has a very nice Montessori-math style radiation dose chart.
-
Charles Stross, a science fiction writer who of course has a knack of telling stories. Read about his guided tour of a nuclear reactor complex.
-
The MIT Nuclear Information Hub. A previous, highly optimistic projection is also now available there.
The mainstream media is of course doing what it does best. But, as always, the broader connections and deeper understanding comes from mavens - some famous, many unknown. And what they have to say is sometimes unexpected, but always rewarding.
Thank you.
