Anna Nicole and World Peace
I am impressed with GOOD magazine thus far. I am particularly interested in how the publisher and his colleagues will use this magazine as a forum to CHANGE things for the better. Now, about Anna Nicole:
I would like to see if GOOD can come up with the $$$ devoted to Anna Nicole Smith the past several months by the media? How much money, in terms of air time, was devoted to her story? Can you find this out?
Why?
Because it's disturbing that her celebrity got more attention than the poverty and hunger in the US and abroad; or the gang shootings in my City of Angels.How can we use this recent "Media Circus" to help us understand what motivates people to listen to these stories with such fascination, when there are a hell of alot of more amazing stories, both heroic and terrible, waiting to be told! And what can Anna Nicole teach us about world peace?
DOes it take shows like American Idol (aka American IDLE) to move people to give money to causes worth their time, attention & money?
I hope you can address this in a future issue...Posted on May 14, 2007 by - RobinLCSW

This interview was great-- how are you getting the message out there in addition to You Tube?
DO you think there should be more editing for the "sound bites" young viewers may want? Professor Sachs understands the impact of media-- and celebrity.
I hope that GOOD can use his wisdom & experience for change.
I hope the importance of this interview can gain momentum; sadly, I think people are more interested in the latest episode of American Idol [aka American IDLE].
What do you think?
Can we create a forum for media ideas-- and leading people to ACTION, on this website? Thanks.
