Stop! Does anybody still believe in free press?

Signal Solaris

There was an incident in Japan when Japanese TV aired a Pokemon video which was sent out with a distorted frequency signal which induced epileptic seizures in many youngsters watching the program.

How should we talk about this?

The Artful Angle



Adolf Hitler was a notorious genocidal dictator. However, some argue that he also had a flair for art. What obligations does the modern press have in presenting both sides of this complicated man?

We read stories of female college students getting raped by fraternity members at prestigious American universities such as Dartmouth College. Do these rape victims in any way feel emotionally better about being raped by Ivy League men? Would they feel worse if they were raped by a mentally deranged homeless man? Such questions are what challenge today's journalists.

When I look at some of the paintings of the renowned painter Vincent Van Gogh (who was never celebrated for his creativity while he was alive), I am amazed at the artistic giftedness and eccentric genius of this man. However, in his artwork, you also see glimpses of an emotionally troubled soul. An art critic would praise the former observation, while a psychologist would objectively scrutinize the latter observation. How do we negotiate such complex contouring?

The fictional American comic book super-vigilante Batman (DC Comics) tackles the strangest (and most dangerous) criminally insane individuals such as Poison Ivy (an eco-terrorist) and Mr. Freeze (a mad scientist) in a place called Gotham City which represents the timeless enigmas associated with human insanity.

Crime and punishment are never clear-cut (especially when insanity is an issue), and neither is art, which is why there are so many Hollywood (USA) movies glorifying crime.

If we use the lens of journalistic technique, or skill, then we may find it easier to negotiate intelligence with ambition.

Then, the question of free speech or free press seems connected to general debate.

There's no harm in the Internet allowing 'hysteria personalization' (i.e., Facebook).
