"content": "\u003cp>After a storm of criticism, including from President-elect Donald Trump, House Republicans have reversed themselves and restored the current rules of the Office of Congressional Ethics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GOP members met Tuesday afternoon and agreed by unanimous consent to withdraw a change to House rules approved late Monday evening, before the new Congress was sworn in, that would have weakened the ethics office, an independent watchdog first established in 2008 under House Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to lawmakers in the room, GOP leaders said the change was a distraction from their agenda and that the issue needed further vetting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public outcry, opposition from ethics watchdog groups, a divided GOP and two tweets from Trump critical of the rules change prompted a swift reversal of the proposal authored by House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump questioned, via Tweet, Congress’ priorities. He tweeted a pair of posts saying that while the OCE was “unfair,” Congress had more important issues to take up, including tax reform and health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/816298944456232960\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/816300003442495488\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inclusion of the ethics measure threatened to bring down the entire rules package — the governing rules of the chamber — that is headed for a vote later Tuesday. The majority party traditionally passes the rules package on its votes alone, and a defeat would have been an embarrassing start for Republicans in the new Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Ethics Chairwoman Susan Brooks, R-Indiana, said that the ethics panel will review the proposal and come back to the conference with any recommendations by late summer or early fall. Republicans said they would like to have Democratic buy in to any proposed changes to the OCE. Several Democrats in recent years have also voiced criticism of the OCE, but Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, who played a critical role in establishing the office, has fought back any efforts to reduce its role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi said in a statement that “House Republicans showed their true colors last night” and decried “the toxic dysfunction of a Republican House that will do anything to further their special interest agenda, thwart transparency and undermine the public trust.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats did not immediately comment on whether they would take part in an Ethics Committee review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opposition to the gutting of the office was swift and came from some unexpected sources in addition to Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exhibit A: Jack Abramoff, the former lobbyist, whose conviction on influence-peddling charges helped lead to the creation of the OCE, told Politico the Republicans’ action was “exactly the opposite of what Congress should be doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Rep. Bob Ney, who also served time after being convicted as part of the same scandal, said, “House Republicans should not have done this and also the way they did it without announcing it is not a public policy to be proud of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judicial Watch, the conservative group that has led efforts to release former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails, called the House rules change “shady and corrupt” and a “drive-by effort” to eliminate the OCE, as well as “a poor way for the Republican majority to begin ‘draining the swamp.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Paul Ryan had issued a statement saying many members feel that after eight years, the office “is in need of reform.” Ryan argued the office would continue to operate independently and still take complaints from members of the public. He said the House Ethics Committee would merely provide oversight of the complaints office but insisted that the office “is not controlled by the committee.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Project on Government Oversight also chimed in, saying ethics watchdogs like the OCE “need to be strengthened and expanded — not taken out back and shot in the middle of the night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

The majority party traditionally passes the rules package on its votes alone, and a defeat would have been an embarrassing start for Republicans in the new Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Ethics Chairwoman Susan Brooks, R-Indiana, said that the ethics panel will review the proposal and come back to the conference with any recommendations by late summer or early fall. Republicans said they would like to have Democratic buy in to any proposed changes to the OCE. Several Democrats in recent years have also voiced criticism of the OCE, but Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, who played a critical role in establishing the office, has fought back any efforts to reduce its role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi said in a statement that “House Republicans showed their true colors last night” and decried “the toxic dysfunction of a Republican House that will do anything to further their special interest agenda, thwart transparency and undermine the public trust.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats did not immediately comment on whether they would take part in an Ethics Committee review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opposition to the gutting of the office was swift and came from some unexpected sources in addition to Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exhibit A: Jack Abramoff, the former lobbyist, whose conviction on influence-peddling charges helped lead to the creation of the OCE, told Politico the Republicans’ action was “exactly the opposite of what Congress should be doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Rep. Bob Ney, who also served time after being convicted as part of the same scandal, said, “House Republicans should not have done this and also the way they did it without announcing it is not a public policy to be proud of.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judicial Watch, the conservative group that has led efforts to release former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails, called the House rules change “shady and corrupt” and a “drive-by effort” to eliminate the OCE, as well as “a poor way for the Republican majority to begin ‘draining the swamp.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Speaker Paul Ryan had issued a statement saying many members feel that after eight years, the office “is in need of reform.” Ryan argued the office would continue to operate independently and still take complaints from members of the public. He said the House Ethics Committee would merely provide oversight of the complaints office but insisted that the office “is not controlled by the committee.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Project on Government Oversight also chimed in, saying ethics watchdogs like the OCE “need to be strengthened and expanded — not taken out back and shot in the middle of the night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

When you decided 2016 was pure trash, utter filth, \u003ca href=\"http://www.startribune.com/dear-2016-i-made-you-this-ornament-it-s-a-dumpster-fire/402757886/\">a fire in a dumpster\u003c/a>?

Or when you realized that, whoever won, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/tags/170418202/2016-presidential-election\">Election 2016\u003c/a> was going to be a hot, smoldering mess?

(I am with you. I've been calling 2016 the worst for months now.) And as this year comes to a close, many are memorializing it online by pointing out how much it sucked, how much it aged them, how much they regret it. All of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But — and this is the strange part — by many measures, 2016 wasn't nearly as bad as certain portions of the internet have made it out to be. And it surely can't be the worst year \u003cem>of all time\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the nearly 63 million voters who supported Donald Trump, maybe this \u003cem>wasn't \u003c/em>a bad year at all; their candidate won. For millions of Americans whose wages went up, or who re-entered the economy (the U.S. has enjoyed an unemployment rate under 5 percent for months), maybe their year was good, too. The vast majority of Americans lived lives free from any direct personal effects from incidences of global (or even national) terror, or wars throughout the globe (not to minimize global unrest, which is a constant, and particularly troubling this year). Multiple measures of consumer confidence, in fact, trended up this year, in spite of months full of headlines indicating a world on the brink. Of something. Or a lot of things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The markets are up, too. And more people have health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, why then, is 2016 the worst?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, let's start with the obvious: the election. There's no need to recount it all. But it was a hot mess. Russian hacks, assertions of the size of one's manhood on a debate stage. Leaks showing national parties seeming to conspire to elect a favored candidate. FBI investigations and \u003cem>Access Hollywood\u003c/em> videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, foreign affairs. With Syria as the central flashpoint, it'd be easy to see 2016 as the year the whole world caught on fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's more than that. Some of the \"2016 is awful\" rhetoric might be about the way we all \u003cem>consumed \u003c/em>the headlines this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amy Mitchell, director of Journalism Research at the Pew Research Center, says what we've been witnessing in news consumption trends over the last few years has changed us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the shift to digital is presenting a news experience that is more mixed in with other kinds of activities,\" she says. \"You don't necessarily go online looking for news each and every time. Somebody shares it, somebody emails it to you, somebody texts a link.

And it surely can't be the worst year \u003cem>of all time\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the nearly 63 million voters who supported Donald Trump, maybe this \u003cem>wasn't \u003c/em>a bad year at all; their candidate won. For millions of Americans whose wages went up, or who re-entered the economy (the U.S. has enjoyed an unemployment rate under 5 percent for months), maybe their year was good, too. The vast majority of Americans lived lives free from any direct personal effects from incidences of global (or even national) terror, or wars throughout the globe (not to minimize global unrest, which is a constant, and particularly troubling this year). Multiple measures of consumer confidence, in fact, trended up this year, in spite of months full of headlines indicating a world on the brink. Of something. Or a lot of things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The markets are up, too. And more people have health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, why then, is 2016 the worst?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, let's start with the obvious: the election. There's no need to recount it all. But it was a hot mess. Russian hacks, assertions of the size of one's manhood on a debate stage. Leaks showing national parties seeming to conspire to elect a favored candidate. FBI investigations and \u003cem>Access Hollywood\u003c/em> videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And of course, foreign affairs. With Syria as the central flashpoint, it'd be easy to see 2016 as the year the whole world caught on fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's more than that. Some of the \"2016 is awful\" rhetoric might be about the way we all \u003cem>consumed \u003c/em>the headlines this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amy Mitchell, director of Journalism Research at the Pew Research Center, says what we've been witnessing in news consumption trends over the last few years has changed us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of the shift to digital is presenting a news experience that is more mixed in with other kinds of activities,\" she says. \"You don't necessarily go online looking for news each and every time.

"content": "\u003cp>Amazon’s personal assistant device called Echo was one of the most popular gifts this Christmas. But this week, the device grabbed headlines for another reason: Police in Arkansas are trying to use its data in a murder investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we know from \u003ca href=\"https://contexte.aoc.arkansas.gov/imaging/IMAGES/DMS/CK_Image.Present2?DMS_ID=e7db0da1-0abf-4f18-88d3-4ccb7e39e4cc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">court documents\u003c/a> is that in November 2015, a man in Arkansas had some friends over at his house to watch a football game. In the morning, one of the friends was found dead in a hot tub in the backyard. Police later charged the man who lived in the house, James Bates, with murder. He has pleaded not guilty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the police were investigating the crime, they found a number of digital devices in the suspect’s house, including an Amazon Echo device that was in the kitchen. They have since seized the device and have apparently gotten some information from it, but what they want to check is what — if anything — the device may have recorded around the time of the murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how the device works: Echo is always listening for the wake, or trigger, word, which is usually “Alexa.” But experts say the storage capacity on the actual device is pretty minimal, so only a tiny amount is written and then overwritten as the device listens for the wake word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the wake word is said — and the blue light ring lights up — all the spoken queries get recorded and transmitted to Amazon servers. “To be clear, Echo is only streaming audio to the cloud when the blue light is on,” says Amazon spokeswoman Kinley Pearsall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a number of Echo users have reported \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/cover_story/2016/04/alexa_cortana_and_siri_aren_t_novelties_anymore_they_re_our_terrifyingly.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a creepy experience\u003c/a> of the device turning on and starting to talk without being prompted by the wake word “Alexa” — perhaps mishearing or misinterpreting conversations in the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in the Arkansas murder case, which was \u003ca href=\"https://www.theinformation.com/amazon-echo-and-the-hot-tub-murder?shared=ec3cb4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first reported\u003c/a> by tech industry news site \u003cem>The Information\u003c/em>, the police may be counting on such an accidental recording or something more. They served a search warrant to Amazon for data covering two days around the time of the murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amazon has satisfied a portion of the request. According to court documents, the company has provided “account holder information for James Bates and purchase history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Amazon declined to share information from its servers. The company has not commented on the specific case, but issued a statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Amazon will not release customer information without a valid and binding legal demand properly served on us. Amazon objects to overbroad or otherwise inappropriate demands as a matter of course.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>All this may remind you of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/series/469827708/the-apple-fbi-debate-over-encryption/archive\">the Apple-FBI standoff\u003c/a> over access to a locked iPhone in the San Bernardino shooting investigation. This isn’t exactly the same kind of case, but it’s another example of law enforcement turning to a tech company for access to personal data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy advocates have long predicted a wave of these kinds of cases — as we \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/12/05/504467134/despite-its-promise-the-internet-of-things-remains-vulnerable\">connect more and more things to the internet\u003c/a> and swarm our homes with digital devices, they will become involved in more crime investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, even in the Arkansas case, investigators are also using information from a smart water meter, alleging that an increase in water use in the middle of the night suggests a possible cleanup around the crime scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s going to be a more common occurrence — when the data, otherwise seemingly innocuous, could be used to draw inferences or guesses about habits and activities, says Nuala O’Connor, president and CEO of the Center for Democracy & Technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just one device, it’s putting together a whole bunch of different devices to make a case that is, some would argue possibly circumstantial, some would argue is incredibly compelling.

But this week, the device grabbed headlines for another reason: Police in Arkansas are trying to use its data in a murder investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What we know from \u003ca href=\"https://contexte.aoc.arkansas.gov/imaging/IMAGES/DMS/CK_Image.Present2?DMS_ID=e7db0da1-0abf-4f18-88d3-4ccb7e39e4cc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">court documents\u003c/a> is that in November 2015, a man in Arkansas had some friends over at his house to watch a football game. In the morning, one of the friends was found dead in a hot tub in the backyard. Police later charged the man who lived in the house, James Bates, with murder. He has pleaded not guilty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the police were investigating the crime, they found a number of digital devices in the suspect’s house, including an Amazon Echo device that was in the kitchen. They have since seized the device and have apparently gotten some information from it, but what they want to check is what — if anything — the device may have recorded around the time of the murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how the device works: Echo is always listening for the wake, or trigger, word, which is usually “Alexa.” But experts say the storage capacity on the actual device is pretty minimal, so only a tiny amount is written and then overwritten as the device listens for the wake word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the wake word is said — and the blue light ring lights up — all the spoken queries get recorded and transmitted to Amazon servers. “To be clear, Echo is only streaming audio to the cloud when the blue light is on,” says Amazon spokeswoman Kinley Pearsall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They served a search warrant to Amazon for data covering two days around the time of the murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amazon has satisfied a portion of the request. According to court documents, the company has provided “account holder information for James Bates and purchase history.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Amazon declined to share information from its servers. The company has not commented on the specific case, but issued a statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Amazon will not release customer information without a valid and binding legal demand properly served on us. Amazon objects to overbroad or otherwise inappropriate demands as a matter of course.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>All this may remind you of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/series/469827708/the-apple-fbi-debate-over-encryption/archive\">the Apple-FBI standoff\u003c/a> over access to a locked iPhone in the San Bernardino shooting investigation. This isn’t exactly the same kind of case, but it’s another example of law enforcement turning to a tech company for access to personal data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Privacy advocates have long predicted a wave of these kinds of cases — as we \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/12/05/504467134/despite-its-promise-the-internet-of-things-remains-vulnerable\">connect more and more things to the internet\u003c/a> and swarm our homes with digital devices, they will become involved in more crime investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, even in the Arkansas case, investigators are also using information from a smart water meter, alleging that an increase in water use in the middle of the night suggests a possible cleanup around the crime scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s going to be a more common occurrence — when the data, otherwise seemingly innocuous, could be used to draw inferences or guesses about habits and activities, says Nuala O’Connor, president and CEO of the Center for Democracy & Technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just one device, it’s putting together a whole bunch of different devices to make a case that is, some would argue possibly circumstantial, some would argue is incredibly compelling. And so the question is going to be, how much data is going to be enough to make a foolproof case?” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This has prompted calls for new policies and reviews of legal standards for how tech companies should comply with law enforcement and other government requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Particularly, privacy experts say new focus will fall on how much and how long private data are kept by the companies that create so-called internet-of-things devices as they become targets of not just investigators, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/10/21/498861897/whats-up-with-the-internet-today-websites-lag-dont-load-for-many-in-u-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">but also hackers\u003c/a> and spy agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We live in the world where we really haven’t settled the law or the standard of care for companies that provide in-home devices like that,” O’Connor says. “The standards of care — as companies have more and more really specific information about what goes on inside the home — has got to be higher and higher.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the law, guidelines and standards are far from settled.

"content": "\u003cp>Here's the biggest understatement of the year: 2016 was the most disruptive moment the mainstream American news media have faced in a very long time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not because so many media outlets misread the presidential election, although that is part of it. And it's not just because so-called fake news has become a genuine issue, prompting Facebook and other social media outlets to address fraudulent items formatted to look like legitimate news reports — a long-needed change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's because a number of disturbing trends eating away at the effectiveness of modern news media came to a head in this year's election. And — in a response that seems strikingly similar to how news outlets struggled with early disruption from the internet — mainstream news outlets still don't appear to be responding very effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each year, I pull together a list of moments that most affected media over the previous 12 months, looking at events like the rise of viral videos capturing police shootings or the staggering fall of NBC News anchor Brian Williams. This year, there's a single moment with many implications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The election of Donald Trump as president is my top media moment in 2016, of course. And the list of reasons why his campaign and victory matter for media also highlight the challenges at the very core of how journalism operates in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue #1: Trust.\u003c/strong> This was a year in which tough reporting by mainstream news outlets often seemed to have limited impact on the opinions of voters. And I don't think it's a coincidence that's it's also the year in which mainstream news outlets had their worst polling on trust in modern history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gallup revealed in September that \u003ca href=\"http://www.gallup.com/poll/195542/americans-trust-mass-media-sinks-new-low.aspx\">trust in news media had sunk to its lowest levels in their history of polling on this question\u003c/a>. Just 32 percent of those polled said they had a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the news media \"to report the news accurately and fairly.\" That's down from 40 percent last year, 50 percent in 2005 and 72 percent in 1976, when investigative journalism was still on a pedestal following the Watergate scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bad as those numbers are, they are worse among those who identify as Republicans. The September Gallup report found just 14 percent of Republicans polled expressed trust in media, down from 32 percent last year. \"This is easily the lowest confidence among Republicans in 20 years,\" the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This polling ties into an analysis the Pew Research Center presented in 2014, which suggests \u003ca href=\"http://www.journalism.org/2014/10/21/political-polarization-media-habits/\">people who identify as consistent conservatives consume news differently from those who say they're consistent liberals\u003c/a>. Consistent conservatives tended to cluster news consumption around one news source they trusted, with 47 percent of those polled citing Fox News Channel as their main source of news for government and politics. Consistent liberals were more likely to get their news from an array of trusted sources, including CNN (15 percent), the New York Times (10 percent) and NPR (13 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Small wonder that political conservatives have built an alternative media structure focused on news and information that speak more directly to the priorities, values and fears of their group. That structure includes TV outlets like Fox News, online outlets like Breitbart.com, Alex Jones' Infowars and The Daily Caller, radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Hugh Hewitt, and authors like Ann Coulter. Liberal-friendly media outlets such as MSNBC and the Huffington Post also speak to liberal values, but I believe the news consumption patterns cited by Pew show that those audiences also consume news sources outside that circle regularly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This means, as mainstream news outlets tried to break tough stories on Trump and Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton, they faced a news audience that included a significant number of people who distrusted their reporting. Some were consuming news on platforms that elevated that mistrust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's telling that the stories that seemed to hurt Trump the most during the campaign were stories largely based on an unfiltered presentation of what he said. In particular, video leaked from an old \u003cem>Access Hollywood\u003c/em> tape -- featuring Trump talking crudely off camera about making sexual advances toward women -- made a tremendous impact, in part because it was his words presented to the audience without much analysis required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue #2: Bias and Credibility.\u003c/strong> Critics have accused some mainstream media outlets of political bias favoring liberals, but I think the biases that most affect mainstream journalism are different. They include a bias toward being the first to report a story, particularly if it has a big public impact; a bias toward ratings and revenue; a bias toward celebrity, conflict and scandal. Any of these biases can cause big problems if left unchecked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attraction to conflict and desire to reach a divided audience brought some head-scratching decisions. CNN's decision to hire Trump's former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, even when it wasn't clear if he was still on the candidate's payroll or significantly involved with his campaign, was disappointing. The frequency of political arguments between partisans filling up time that could have been used for reporting on policy issues, particularly on cable TV, was also a mistake. Emails released by Wikileaks, showing that Democratic party official Donna Brazile may have funneled advance information about questions from CNN's events to Clinton's campaign, showed the dangers inherent in hiring people who are active players in the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What has hurt mainstream media particularly is a mistrust that it can provide honest brokers — people who, even if they are political pundits expressing opinions, can be fair to all sides of an argument. In an environment where so much trust is already gone, moves by mainstream outlets that chip away at their status as honest brokers seem unwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But because interest in the election has also fueled a rise in news consumption — \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/brettedkins/2016/12/01/donald-trumps-election-delivers-massive-ratings-for-cable-news/#9a956c9321c9\">cable news channels in particular saw huge double-digit ratings increases from last year\u003c/a> — news outlets haven't yet paid a significant price economically for any missteps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue #3: Normalizing racism and sexism.\u003c/strong> Given that Trump's electoral success has emboldened some white nationalists and racists who endorsed him, news media outlets face the challenging task of reporting on these issues and groups without inadvertently helping them recruit more followers or make their racist views seem more acceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR faced that challenge when interviewing Breitbart senior editor-at-large Joel Pollak about questions that the site has been a platform for the racist \"alt-right\" movement. Pollak called the reporting and commentary on race and culture by our Code Switch team \"racist,\" while also pushing back against questions about a Breitbart piece on the Confederate flag that denied the Confederacy was attempting to \"enforce slavery.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Host Steve Inskeep did a great job asking fair questions of Pollak, but the issues at hand are so complex, as a listener I was thirsty for a longer, more detailed dialogue that more deeply probed these allegations. NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik delivered a story that offered that level of reporting and probing, which is very difficult to capture in a single interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue #4: Democratization of news through social media.\u003c/strong> The wonderful thing about social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter is that they can level the playing field and reduce the power of media gatekeepers. Anyone with an insightful observation or information about a newsworthy issue can reach the world directly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that democratization creates an environment that can also allow fake news to spread. Beyond that, this leveled playing field can also reduce the value of the experience and expertise of reporters, make opinions and facts look like the same thing and make ideologically skewed reports look equal to more objective reporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook's development of a system to identify fake news is promising. But the fact that mainstream news organizations even have to deal with this remains disturbing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

And it's not just because so-called fake news has become a genuine issue, prompting Facebook and other social media outlets to address fraudulent items formatted to look like legitimate news reports — a long-needed change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's because a number of disturbing trends eating away at the effectiveness of modern news media came to a head in this year's election. And — in a response that seems strikingly similar to how news outlets struggled with early disruption from the internet — mainstream news outlets still don't appear to be responding very effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each year, I pull together a list of moments that most affected media over the previous 12 months, looking at events like the rise of viral videos capturing police shootings or the staggering fall of NBC News anchor Brian Williams. This year, there's a single moment with many implications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The election of Donald Trump as president is my top media moment in 2016, of course. And the list of reasons why his campaign and victory matter for media also highlight the challenges at the very core of how journalism operates in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue #1: Trust.\u003c/strong> This was a year in which tough reporting by mainstream news outlets often seemed to have limited impact on the opinions of voters. And I don't think it's a coincidence that's it's also the year in which mainstream news outlets had their worst polling on trust in modern history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gallup revealed in September that \u003ca href=\"http://www.gallup.com/poll/195542/americans-trust-mass-media-sinks-new-low.aspx\">trust in news media had sunk to its lowest levels in their history of polling on this question\u003c/a>. Just 32 percent of those polled said they had a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the news media \"to report the news accurately and fairly.\" That's down from 40 percent last year, 50 percent in 2005 and 72 percent in 1976, when investigative journalism was still on a pedestal following the Watergate scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bad as those numbers are, they are worse among those who identify as Republicans. The September Gallup report found just 14 percent of Republicans polled expressed trust in media, down from 32 percent last year. \"This is easily the lowest confidence among Republicans in 20 years,\" the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This polling ties into an analysis the Pew Research Center presented in 2014, which suggests \u003ca href=\"http://www.journalism.org/2014/10/21/political-polarization-media-habits/\">people who identify as consistent conservatives consume news differently from those who say they're consistent liberals\u003c/a>. Consistent conservatives tended to cluster news consumption around one news source they trusted, with 47 percent of those polled citing Fox News Channel as their main source of news for government and politics. Consistent liberals were more likely to get their news from an array of trusted sources, including CNN (15 percent), the New York Times (10 percent) and NPR (13 percent).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Small wonder that political conservatives have built an alternative media structure focused on news and information that speak more directly to the priorities, values and fears of their group. That structure includes TV outlets like Fox News, online outlets like Breitbart.com, Alex Jones' Infowars and The Daily Caller, radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Hugh Hewitt, and authors like Ann Coulter. Liberal-friendly media outlets such as MSNBC and the Huffington Post also speak to liberal values, but I believe the news consumption patterns cited by Pew show that those audiences also consume news sources outside that circle regularly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This means, as mainstream news outlets tried to break tough stories on Trump and Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton, they faced a news audience that included a significant number of people who distrusted their reporting. Some were consuming news on platforms that elevated that mistrust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it's telling that the stories that seemed to hurt Trump the most during the campaign were stories largely based on an unfiltered presentation of what he said. In particular, video leaked from an old \u003cem>Access Hollywood\u003c/em> tape -- featuring Trump talking crudely off camera about making sexual advances toward women -- made a tremendous impact, in part because it was his words presented to the audience without much analysis required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue #2: Bias and Credibility.\u003c/strong> Critics have accused some mainstream media outlets of political bias favoring liberals, but I think the biases that most affect mainstream journalism are different. They include a bias toward being the first to report a story, particularly if it has a big public impact; a bias toward ratings and revenue; a bias toward celebrity, conflict and scandal. Any of these biases can cause big problems if left unchecked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attraction to conflict and desire to reach a divided audience brought some head-scratching decisions. CNN's decision to hire Trump's former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, even when it wasn't clear if he was still on the candidate's payroll or significantly involved with his campaign, was disappointing. The frequency of political arguments between partisans filling up time that could have been used for reporting on policy issues, particularly on cable TV, was also a mistake. Emails released by Wikileaks, showing that Democratic party official Donna Brazile may have funneled advance information about questions from CNN's events to Clinton's campaign, showed the dangers inherent in hiring people who are active players in the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What has hurt mainstream media particularly is a mistrust that it can provide honest brokers — people who, even if they are political pundits expressing opinions, can be fair to all sides of an argument. In an environment where so much trust is already gone, moves by mainstream outlets that chip away at their status as honest brokers seem unwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But because interest in the election has also fueled a rise in news consumption — \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/brettedkins/2016/12/01/donald-trumps-election-delivers-massive-ratings-for-cable-news/#9a956c9321c9\">cable news channels in particular saw huge double-digit ratings increases from last year\u003c/a> — news outlets haven't yet paid a significant price economically for any missteps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue #3: Normalizing racism and sexism.\u003c/strong> Given that Trump's electoral success has emboldened some white nationalists and racists who endorsed him, news media outlets face the challenging task of reporting on these issues and groups without inadvertently helping them recruit more followers or make their racist views seem more acceptable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR faced that challenge when interviewing Breitbart senior editor-at-large Joel Pollak about questions that the site has been a platform for the racist \"alt-right\" movement. Pollak called the reporting and commentary on race and culture by our Code Switch team \"racist,\" while also pushing back against questions about a Breitbart piece on the Confederate flag that denied the Confederacy was attempting to \"enforce slavery.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Host Steve Inskeep did a great job asking fair questions of Pollak, but the issues at hand are so complex, as a listener I was thirsty for a longer, more detailed dialogue that more deeply probed these allegations. NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik delivered a story that offered that level of reporting and probing, which is very difficult to capture in a single interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue #4: Democratization of news through social media.\u003c/strong> The wonderful thing about social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter is that they can level the playing field and reduce the power of media gatekeepers. Anyone with an insightful observation or information about a newsworthy issue can reach the world directly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that democratization creates an environment that can also allow fake news to spread. Beyond that, this leveled playing field can also reduce the value of the experience and expertise of reporters, make opinions and facts look like the same thing and make ideologically skewed reports look equal to more objective reporting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Today, the middle-school kids are contending for the fastest spin around four traffic cones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Micaela is a tall 12-year-old with a serious and focused gaze.

The vast majority of HOLA’s participants are Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over nearly 30 years, the program has helped hundreds go to college. A handful of students from Orozco’s scientific arts program at HOLA have pursued successful technical careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Orozco says a lot of his students shy away from the tech industry, despite technical talents: They don’t want jobs with any economic risk — something quite common for work at a startup or in computer science in general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Leak in the Pipeline\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s even harder to get girls interested. At HOLA, younger kids don’t get to choose their classes, but programs become elective for high school students. Orozco’s scientific arts program is “girl-heavy” in elementary and middle school, he says. At the high school level, only two of his 13 students are girls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this is one of the clear leaks of the talent pipeline that feeds workers to the tech industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Year after year, Silicon Valley companies have been criticized for their slow process in employing more women and other underrepresented groups, which for tech are black and Latino. And often, they say they simply can’t find enough qualified workers to hire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you go through the tech talent “pipeline” to find where it leaks, HOLA illustrates a major one. Somewhere between middle school and high school graduation, girls’ interest in tech peaks and wanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Down the line, women make up roughly half \u003ca href=\"https://www.dol.gov/wb/stats/Computer_information_technology_2014.htm\">of U.S. workers\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/distribution-by-gender/?currentTimeframe=0\">of the U.S. population\u003c/a> — but on average represent less than a third of tech companies’ employees. For black and Hispanic workers, the numbers drop into single digits: These groups tend to comprise 3 percent or less of tech companies’ employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/07/19/486511816/why-some-diversity-thinkers-arent-buying-the-tech-industrys-excuses\">it’s not just technical\u003c/a> fields, but all staff and leadership roles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The MySpace Gateway\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attempting to reverse-engineer interest in tech, we asked women in a Slack group for Latinos in tech called \u003ca href=\"https://techqueria.org/\">Techquería\u003c/a>: How did you first get into it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A surprising number of women replied: MySpace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The now-arcane social network allowed for a lot of customization — users could mess with the color schemes, fonts, add bells and whistles by tinkering with the source code. The site’s popularity in the mid-2000s introduced many middle- and high school girls to basic HTML.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dalia Icedo was the queen of cool MySpace designs: She got so good at customizing profiles that she created a whole separate page where other people could get her themes. “I would change the color scheme literally every day, probably,” she says, “because I was 12, I had nothing else to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The skills came in handy after high school, when she started an online shop to sell things like band pins and earrings — and began tinkering with visuals that bugged her, like margins that felt too wide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I started to just go into the code and started to see a lot of the HTML and CSS that I had learned before. And then from there I just started to pick up JavaScript,” says Icedo, who is in college and wants to become a UX (user experience) designer in Silicon Valley. “It gave me a lot more confidence of being able to pick up coding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Consumer/Creator Breakdown\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, social media is no less popular than 10 years ago — and girls \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/04/09/teens-social-media-technology-2015/\">are more avid users\u003c/a> than boys, especially on Snapchat and Instagram.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as technology has become more user-friendly, it’s also become less customizable — even grandparents can use Facebook, but how many of us understand how it works? And talking with young girls, few are drawing the connection between using popular apps and thinking that they could program them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/2015/nsf15326/pdf/tab11.pdf\">number of women\u003c/a> studying math and computer science in college peaked in the 1980s — even as overall, women receive the growing majority of bachelor’s degrees. NPR’s Planet Money podcast \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2014/10/21/357629765/when-women-stopped-coding\">dug into this phenomenon\u003c/a>, zeroing in on the year 1984:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Personal computers started showing up in U.S. homes in significant numbers. These early personal computers weren’t much more than toys. … And these toys were marketed \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CDkHs4lzUo\">almost\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxNjx_VWJ8U\">entirely\u003c/a> to men and boys. This idea that computers are for boys became a narrative.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Now, both the corporate marketers and the diversity activists have been trying to figure out the sensitive matter of how to market tech \u003cem>to \u003c/em>girls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The line between “girly” and \u003cem>“\u003c/em>for girls” can be thin. What matters is what girls can actually do with the technology, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.code2040.org/deldelp-medina/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deldelp Medina\u003c/a>, co-founder of Latina-focused accelerator Avion Ventures, who’s now at tech diversity nonprofit Code2040.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A small pink computer isn’t terrible per se, Medina argues: Smaller keyboards are actually nice to prevent carpal tunnel in smaller hands. What’s insulting is if this computer comes with less processing power, memory or useful software than a regular one.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Women and everybody who’s currently underrepresented in the tech industry has to gain those skill sets, because otherwise, it will not go well for any of us.’ \u003ccite>Deldelp Medina, on the tech-worker shortage\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There’s a difference,” she says, “between wanting to celebrate your femininity and shrinking and pinking something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Mentorship Challenge\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Targeting girls with technology can get thorny. But Andrea Guendelman, creator of Latinos-in-tech social network \u003ca href=\"https://www.bevisible.soy/\">BeVisible\u003c/a>, says one — if not the only — thing that works is mentorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the summer of 2014, Jazmine Fernandez was one of the young women in the Girls Who Code program. Being raised by a single mother and sisters, Fernandez knew there’s little women can’t do. But when she heard she got placed at Facebook, Fernandez felt intimidated — excited, but mostly scared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because when I went, there was just a lot of …” Her voice trails off. “There was … how do I say this?” Her mentor, Raquel Vélez, steps in: “There weren’t a lot people who looked like you, huh?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fernandez heard Vélez give a talk at Facebook headquarters, and she made a huge impression: Latinas \u003cem>can\u003c/em> get jobs in Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of my favorite quotes ever is, ‘You can’t be it if you can’t see it,’ ” says Vélez, engineering manager at software company NPM. “Believe me, I have like 25 mentors, and it’s the only way I can make it through, because so often I’m the only one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fernandez is now studying computer science at San Francisco State University. She expects the field to always be a struggle. In one of her classes, a guy once basically tried to argue that girls can’t code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And to be Latina in tech, Vélez says you have to work four times as hard. “I like to think about it as, I walked in the back door, so that I could open the front door for everybody else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The End of the Pipeline\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where mentorship particularly comes into play is at the end of the pipeline, where underrepresented groups struggle to \u003cem>get\u003c/em> hired and \u003cem>stay\u003c/em> hired. Silicon Valley is a boys’ club whose networks tend to stay white, male and affluent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One company trying to break the cycle is Atipica. It has built a computer program to sift through resumes — skipping human managers to avoid hiring biases, like subconscious discrimination based on a last name or school attended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Atipica’s isn’t the only resume-reading artificial intelligence. But often, algorithms reflect the biases of humans who write them. Atipica CEO Laura Gomez says her company specifically focused on designing an unbiased AI. (Neither Gomez, nor her clients, which include Slack, agreed to discuss how well Atipica’s program works.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chicago-based Opternative offers another example of tackling diversity head-on. It’s a startup that lets people do their own eye exams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many ways, Opternative operates like many other startups, relying on referrals from its existing employees. Yet it’s grown into a \u003ca href=\"https://www.opternative.com/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pretty diverse group\u003c/a> because from the get-go, its team wasn’t just white guys and it views diversity of life experiences as an asset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Blind Spot\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here’s the tricky part: While both companies get high marks for being racially diverse, gender remains a blind spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Atipica, a Latina-run company, has \u003ca href=\"https://www.atipica.co/pages/about/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one other female employee\u003c/a>. Opternative’s technical team has women on the design side and in junior positions, but all four of its senior engineers — the leaders and decision-makers — are male.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gomez and Opternative CTO Ayo Jimoh say the women they’ve seen apply for their job openings were under-qualified. It’s effectively the pipeline argument. Jimoh’s diagnosis is that people self-select — they don’t want to pursue careers that are stacked against them, they need role models, success stories of others like them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So then, who is responsible for creating those role models? Couldn’t Jimoh or Gomez, for example, spend extra time to find a female senior engineer or promote from within?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a part of me that says, let me me show,” says Gomez, “but I have to put my business first and foremost.” Jimoh, too, says he has to balance that responsibility for equity with his other responsibilities “to my company, to my team, to myself, to my family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a way, the push for diversity in tech is still so new, it’s often treated as a cause or a mission — and fighting for a cause and running a business aren’t the same. At the end of the day, Atipica and Opternative weren’t founded to heal Silicon Valley’s diversity problem — but to fill what they see as a market need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And these are small companies — the gender balance of staff is even harder to shift at massive ships like Facebook or Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few companies, such as Intel and Twitter, have recently started releasing hiring goals, putting diversity in quantifiable terms. The targets aren’t lofty, but they’re specific, public — presumably someone’s measurable responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Future of the Economy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, there’s a new challenge.

A handful of students from Orozco’s scientific arts program at HOLA have pursued successful technical careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Orozco says a lot of his students shy away from the tech industry, despite technical talents: They don’t want jobs with any economic risk — something quite common for work at a startup or in computer science in general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Leak in the Pipeline\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s even harder to get girls interested. At HOLA, younger kids don’t get to choose their classes, but programs become elective for high school students. Orozco’s scientific arts program is “girl-heavy” in elementary and middle school, he says. At the high school level, only two of his 13 students are girls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this is one of the clear leaks of the talent pipeline that feeds workers to the tech industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Year after year, Silicon Valley companies have been criticized for their slow process in employing more women and other underrepresented groups, which for tech are black and Latino. And often, they say they simply can’t find enough qualified workers to hire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you go through the tech talent “pipeline” to find where it leaks, HOLA illustrates a major one. Somewhere between middle school and high school graduation, girls’ interest in tech peaks and wanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Down the line, women make up roughly half \u003ca href=\"https://www.dol.gov/wb/stats/Computer_information_technology_2014.htm\">of U.S. workers\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/distribution-by-gender/?currentTimeframe=0\">of the U.S. population\u003c/a> — but on average represent less than a third of tech companies’ employees. For black and Hispanic workers, the numbers drop into single digits: These groups tend to comprise 3 percent or less of tech companies’ employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/07/19/486511816/why-some-diversity-thinkers-arent-buying-the-tech-industrys-excuses\">it’s not just technical\u003c/a> fields, but all staff and leadership roles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The MySpace Gateway\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attempting to reverse-engineer interest in tech, we asked women in a Slack group for Latinos in tech called \u003ca href=\"https://techqueria.org/\">Techquería\u003c/a>: How did you first get into it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A surprising number of women replied: MySpace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The now-arcane social network allowed for a lot of customization — users could mess with the color schemes, fonts, add bells and whistles by tinkering with the source code. The site’s popularity in the mid-2000s introduced many middle- and high school girls to basic HTML.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dalia Icedo was the queen of cool MySpace designs: She got so good at customizing profiles that she created a whole separate page where other people could get her themes. “I would change the color scheme literally every day, probably,” she says, “because I was 12, I had nothing else to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The skills came in handy after high school, when she started an online shop to sell things like band pins and earrings — and began tinkering with visuals that bugged her, like margins that felt too wide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So I started to just go into the code and started to see a lot of the HTML and CSS that I had learned before. And then from there I just started to pick up JavaScript,” says Icedo, who is in college and wants to become a UX (user experience) designer in Silicon Valley. “It gave me a lot more confidence of being able to pick up coding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Consumer/Creator Breakdown\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, social media is no less popular than 10 years ago — and girls \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewinternet.org/2015/04/09/teens-social-media-technology-2015/\">are more avid users\u003c/a> than boys, especially on Snapchat and Instagram.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as technology has become more user-friendly, it’s also become less customizable — even grandparents can use Facebook, but how many of us understand how it works? And talking with young girls, few are drawing the connection between using popular apps and thinking that they could program them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.nsf.gov/statistics/2015/nsf15326/pdf/tab11.pdf\">number of women\u003c/a> studying math and computer science in college peaked in the 1980s — even as overall, women receive the growing majority of bachelor’s degrees. NPR’s Planet Money podcast \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2014/10/21/357629765/when-women-stopped-coding\">dug into this phenomenon\u003c/a>, zeroing in on the year 1984:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Personal computers started showing up in U.S. homes in significant numbers. These early personal computers weren’t much more than toys. … And these toys were marketed \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CDkHs4lzUo\">almost\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxNjx_VWJ8U\">entirely\u003c/a> to men and boys. This idea that computers are for boys became a narrative.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Now, both the corporate marketers and the diversity activists have been trying to figure out the sensitive matter of how to market tech \u003cem>to \u003c/em>girls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The line between “girly” and \u003cem>“\u003c/em>for girls” can be thin. What matters is what girls can actually do with the technology, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.code2040.org/deldelp-medina/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Deldelp Medina\u003c/a>, co-founder of Latina-focused accelerator Avion Ventures, who’s now at tech diversity nonprofit Code2040.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A small pink computer isn’t terrible per se, Medina argues: Smaller keyboards are actually nice to prevent carpal tunnel in smaller hands. What’s insulting is if this computer comes with less processing power, memory or useful software than a regular one.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Women and everybody who’s currently underrepresented in the tech industry has to gain those skill sets, because otherwise, it will not go well for any of us.’ \u003ccite>Deldelp Medina, on the tech-worker shortage\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There’s a difference,” she says, “between wanting to celebrate your femininity and shrinking and pinking something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Mentorship Challenge\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Targeting girls with technology can get thorny. But Andrea Guendelman, creator of Latinos-in-tech social network \u003ca href=\"https://www.bevisible.soy/\">BeVisible\u003c/a>, says one — if not the only — thing that works is mentorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the summer of 2014, Jazmine Fernandez was one of the young women in the Girls Who Code program. Being raised by a single mother and sisters, Fernandez knew there’s little women can’t do. But when she heard she got placed at Facebook, Fernandez felt intimidated — excited, but mostly scared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because when I went, there was just a lot of …” Her voice trails off. “There was … how do I say this?” Her mentor, Raquel Vélez, steps in: “There weren’t a lot people who looked like you, huh?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fernandez heard Vélez give a talk at Facebook headquarters, and she made a huge impression: Latinas \u003cem>can\u003c/em> get jobs in Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of my favorite quotes ever is, ‘You can’t be it if you can’t see it,’ ” says Vélez, engineering manager at software company NPM. “Believe me, I have like 25 mentors, and it’s the only way I can make it through, because so often I’m the only one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fernandez is now studying computer science at San Francisco State University. She expects the field to always be a struggle. In one of her classes, a guy once basically tried to argue that girls can’t code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And to be Latina in tech, Vélez says you have to work four times as hard. “I like to think about it as, I walked in the back door, so that I could open the front door for everybody else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The End of the Pipeline\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where mentorship particularly comes into play is at the end of the pipeline, where underrepresented groups struggle to \u003cem>get\u003c/em> hired and \u003cem>stay\u003c/em> hired. Silicon Valley is a boys’ club whose networks tend to stay white, male and affluent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One company trying to break the cycle is Atipica. It has built a computer program to sift through resumes — skipping human managers to avoid hiring biases, like subconscious discrimination based on a last name or school attended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Atipica’s isn’t the only resume-reading artificial intelligence. But often, algorithms reflect the biases of humans who write them. Atipica CEO Laura Gomez says her company specifically focused on designing an unbiased AI. (Neither Gomez, nor her clients, which include Slack, agreed to discuss how well Atipica’s program works.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chicago-based Opternative offers another example of tackling diversity head-on. It’s a startup that lets people do their own eye exams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many ways, Opternative operates like many other startups, relying on referrals from its existing employees. Yet it’s grown into a \u003ca href=\"https://www.opternative.com/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pretty diverse group\u003c/a> because from the get-go, its team wasn’t just white guys and it views diversity of life experiences as an asset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Blind Spot\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here’s the tricky part: While both companies get high marks for being racially diverse, gender remains a blind spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Atipica, a Latina-run company, has \u003ca href=\"https://www.atipica.co/pages/about/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one other female employee\u003c/a>. Opternative’s technical team has women on the design side and in junior positions, but all four of its senior engineers — the leaders and decision-makers — are male.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gomez and Opternative CTO Ayo Jimoh say the women they’ve seen apply for their job openings were under-qualified. It’s effectively the pipeline argument. Jimoh’s diagnosis is that people self-select — they don’t want to pursue careers that are stacked against them, they need role models, success stories of others like them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So then, who is responsible for creating those role models? Couldn’t Jimoh or Gomez, for example, spend extra time to find a female senior engineer or promote from within?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a part of me that says, let me me show,” says Gomez, “but I have to put my business first and foremost.” Jimoh, too, says he has to balance that responsibility for equity with his other responsibilities “to my company, to my team, to myself, to my family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a way, the push for diversity in tech is still so new, it’s often treated as a cause or a mission — and fighting for a cause and running a business aren’t the same. At the end of the day, Atipica and Opternative weren’t founded to heal Silicon Valley’s diversity problem — but to fill what they see as a market need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And these are small companies — the gender balance of staff is even harder to shift at massive ships like Facebook or Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few companies, such as Intel and Twitter, have recently started releasing hiring goals, putting diversity in quantifiable terms. The targets aren’t lofty, but they’re specific, public — presumably someone’s measurable responsibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Future of the Economy\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, there’s a new challenge.

And we will — at a time and place of our own choosing. Some of it may be explicit and publicized; some of it may not be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that hackers working for Russia hacked into the Democratic National Committee's computer network, as well as the private email of John Podesta, a top adviser to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the question of Russia's ultimate motivation for the hack becoming increasingly divisive, Obama was careful to not endorse a CIA assessment, reported by NPR and other news outlets, that asserts that Russia's goal was to elect Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are still a whole range of assessments taking place among the agencies,\" Obama told NPR, referring to an order he has given the U.S. intelligence community to conduct a full review of the cyberattacks before Inauguration Day. \"And so when I receive a final report, you know, we'll be able to, I think, give us a comprehensive and best guess as to those motivations. But that does not in any way, I think, detract from the basic point that everyone during the election perceived accurately — that in fact what the Russian hack had done was create more problems for the Clinton campaign than it had for the Trump campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no doubt that it contributed to an atmosphere in which the only focus for weeks at a time, months at a time were Hillary's emails, the Clinton Foundation, political gossip surrounding the DNC,\" Obama said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, email had been a major focus since before Clinton formally entered the presidential race, owing to revelations first reported by the \u003cem>New York Times \u003c/em>that she used a private email server during her tenure leading the State Department. Updates about the FBI's investigation of the server dripped out at intervals throughout the entire campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Department also released Clinton emails at semi-regular intervals throughout the campaign, as did the conservative group Judicial Watch, which obtained them through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama didn't pin the blame for Clinton's loss on the leaked information, saying, \"Elections can always turn out differently. You never know which factors are going to make a difference. But I have no doubt that it had some impact, just based on the coverage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11222913\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/2016-12-15-obama-interview-0090_edit_custom-3bfdf3c00b985f74345eebad074151146d05c046-e1481901050323.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11222913\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/12/2016-12-15-obama-interview-0090_edit_custom-3bfdf3c00b985f74345eebad074151146d05c046-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"NPR's Steve Inskeep interviews President Obama in the Cabinet Room of the White House on Thursday.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">NPR's Steve Inskeep interviews President Obama in the Cabinet Room of the White House on Thursday. \u003ccite>(Ariel Zambelich/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Obama said his goal is for a definitive White House report on the matter to be issued before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20. He was also careful to say that while the Russian hacks benefited Trump, he is not suggesting Trump's campaign helped coordinate the attacks or played any role in them, other than to exploit them for political advantage. \"They understood what everybody else understood, which was that this was not good for Hillary Clinton's campaign,\" the president said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama acknowledged that every \"big power\" spies and collects intelligence on each other, but, he said, \"There's a difference between that and the kind of malicious cyberattacks that steal trade secrets or engage in industrial espionage, something that we've seen the Chinese do. And there is a difference between that and activating intelligence in a way that's designed to influence elections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama discussed cybersecurity with Vladimir Putin during a 90-minute meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 summit held in China in early September. The president characterized the meeting at the time as \"candid, blunt, businesslike.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Obama is threatening to retaliate against Russia, he has only about five weeks left in the Oval Office. Trump has dismissed — in fact, mocked — intelligence assessments tying the DNC and Podesta hacks to Russia, and he campaigned on improving the U.S. relationship with the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his interview with NPR, Obama appeared mystified by that stance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The irony of all this, of course, is that for most of my presidency, there's been a pretty sizable wing of the Republican Party that has consistently criticized me for not being tough enough on Russia,\" he said. \"Some of those folks during the campaign endorsed Donald Trump, despite the fact that a central tenet of his foreign policy was we shouldn't be so tough on Russia. And that kind of inconsistency I think makes it appear, at least, that their particular position on Russia on any given day depends on what's politically expedient.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president cited \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/12/14/gop-voters-warm-to-russia-putin-wikileaks-poll-finds/?utm_term=.40f0493f9da4\">a recent Economist-YouGov poll that found\u003c/a> Republican voters view Putin much more favorably now than they did before the 2016 presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is somebody, the former head of the KGB, who is responsible for crushing democracy in Russia, muzzling the press, throwing political dissidents in jail, countering American efforts to expand freedom at every turn; is currently making decisions that's leading to a slaughter in Syria.

But that does not in any way, I think, detract from the basic point that everyone during the election perceived accurately — that in fact what the Russian hack had done was create more problems for the Clinton campaign than it had for the Trump campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no doubt that it contributed to an atmosphere in which the only focus for weeks at a time, months at a time were Hillary's emails, the Clinton Foundation, political gossip surrounding the DNC,\" Obama said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, email had been a major focus since before Clinton formally entered the presidential race, owing to revelations first reported by the \u003cem>New York Times \u003c/em>that she used a private email server during her tenure leading the State Department. Updates about the FBI's investigation of the server dripped out at intervals throughout the entire campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Department also released Clinton emails at semi-regular intervals throughout the campaign, as did the conservative group Judicial Watch, which obtained them through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama didn't pin the blame for Clinton's loss on the leaked information, saying, \"Elections can always turn out differently. You never know which factors are going to make a difference.

He was also careful to say that while the Russian hacks benefited Trump, he is not suggesting Trump's campaign helped coordinate the attacks or played any role in them, other than to exploit them for political advantage. \"They understood what everybody else understood, which was that this was not good for Hillary Clinton's campaign,\" the president said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama acknowledged that every \"big power\" spies and collects intelligence on each other, but, he said, \"There's a difference between that and the kind of malicious cyberattacks that steal trade secrets or engage in industrial espionage, something that we've seen the Chinese do. And there is a difference between that and activating intelligence in a way that's designed to influence elections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama discussed cybersecurity with Vladimir Putin during a 90-minute meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 summit held in China in early September. The president characterized the meeting at the time as \"candid, blunt, businesslike.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Obama is threatening to retaliate against Russia, he has only about five weeks left in the Oval Office. Trump has dismissed — in fact, mocked — intelligence assessments tying the DNC and Podesta hacks to Russia, and he campaigned on improving the U.S. relationship with the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his interview with NPR, Obama appeared mystified by that stance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The irony of all this, of course, is that for most of my presidency, there's been a pretty sizable wing of the Republican Party that has consistently criticized me for not being tough enough on Russia,\" he said. \"Some of those folks during the campaign endorsed Donald Trump, despite the fact that a central tenet of his foreign policy was we shouldn't be so tough on Russia. And that kind of inconsistency I think makes it appear, at least, that their particular position on Russia on any given day depends on what's politically expedient.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president cited \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/12/14/gop-voters-warm-to-russia-putin-wikileaks-poll-finds/?utm_term=.40f0493f9da4\">a recent Economist-YouGov poll that found\u003c/a> Republican voters view Putin much more favorably now than they did before the 2016 presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is somebody, the former head of the KGB, who is responsible for crushing democracy in Russia, muzzling the press, throwing political dissidents in jail, countering American efforts to expand freedom at every turn; is currently making decisions that's leading to a slaughter in Syria. And a big chunk of the Republican Party, which prided itself during the Reagan era and for decades that followed as being the bulwark against Russian influence, now suddenly is embracing him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NPR reached out to the Trump transition team for comment but has not received a response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

It remains to be seen whether the moves will satisfy Facebook's critics -- both inside and outside the company's ranks -- who have faulted the way it deals with controversial, offensive and/or fake posts. \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2016/11/17/495827410/from-hate-speech-to-fake-news-the-content-crisis-facing-mark-zuckerberg\" target=\"_blank\">As NPR's Aarti Shahani reported in November\u003c/a>, that effort has grown to include thousands of overseas subcontractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a news release outlining how Facebook's new reporting and flagging process will work, Mosseri said the company will rely on its users to report a story as potentially bogus, \"along with other signals.\" The story would then be sent to fact-checkers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the fact-checking organizations identify a story as fake,\" Mosseri said, \"it will get flagged as disputed and there will be a link to the corresponding article explaining why. Stories that have been disputed may also appear lower in News Feed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mosseri added, \"It will still be possible to share these stories, but you will see a warning that the story has been disputed as you share.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flagged story will also be rejected if anyone tries to turn it into a promoted ad, Facebook says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While fake news created a stir because of its intersection with U.S. politics, many of the people behind the sites say they're mainly in it for the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's how Craig Silverman of BuzzFeed News described what he found in researching the phenomenon, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/12/14/505547295/fake-news-expert-on-how-false-stories-spread-and-why-people-believe-them\" target=\"_blank\">Wednesday's Fresh Air\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Facebook directly doesn't really earn them a lot of money. But the key thing about Facebook -- and this is true whether you're running a politics site out of Macedonia or whether you run a very large website in the U.S. -- Facebook is the biggest driver of traffic to, you know, news websites in the world now. You know, 1.8 billion people log into Facebook every month.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Today, Facebook says it has \"found that a lot of fake news is financially motivated\" -- and that it's taking steps to remove some of that incentive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On the buying side we've eliminated the ability to spoof domains, which will reduce the prevalence of sites that pretend to be real publications,\" Mosseri says. \"On the publisher side, we are analyzing publisher sites to detect where policy enforcement actions might be necessary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.
