The Broader Context

With an economy that is more than one third of the worlds total economic
production and a military whose budget is as large as the rest of the
worlds combined, the United States is in a unique position to do very well
for itself and to help others throughout the world.

The results of Americas efforts have been poor for the average American
and for the world. Of the 30 industrialized countries in the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), on a per person basis,
the United States ranks only seventh in literacy for 15 year olds, is
below the top ten in mathematics (fails even to meet the OECD average),
has the lowest voter turnout and is the most miserly aid donor both in
government aid and also when private donations are factored in.

At the same time, the US has the largest per capita carbon dioxide
emissions, the largest per capita energy consumption, the largest per
person waste generation, the highest civilian gun deaths per capita, the
most obese population per capita, the most reported rapes per capita, the
largest prison population per capita, the greatest income gap, plus the
highest per capita rates of homelessness, relative poverty, teen suicide
and school shootings.

The situation has been worse for most other people in the world.
Currently over two billion people (a third of the worlds population) are
trying to live on only $2 a day. Hunger kills 13,500 children a day, and
over 28,000 people a day (about ten times the number who died in 9-11) die
of easily preventable causes such as malnutrition and lack of clean water.
There are huge numbers of people who lack basic necessities like clothing,
electricity, shelter and immunizations for their children.

While many things will need to occur for our country and the world to
improve, a core component must be the presentation of high quality,
accurate and intelligent information to the public.

The problem is that when choosing what to do with their individual and
collective wealth and power, Americans rely on a media that produces
sensationalistic stories on a regular basis, publishes inaccuracies at an
alarming rate and is more focused on giant profit margins than on serving
the public. The media today more often than not fails to produce articles
with in-depth context and analysis. It emphasizes materialism far more
than helping than others and is fearful of publishing stories its
advertisers will not like.

The magnitude and extent of the decline of journalism over the last
approximately fifteen years is laid out in detail in Current Problems in
the Media.

Where We Come In

DailySource.org is an important contributor in solving the problems facing
our country and world by becoming the central resource on the Internet for
intelligent, factual and accurate reporting.

Whereas almost all publications rely on a small under-trained staff to
produce a small number of stories of inconsistent quality, DailySource.org
is able to choose from all stories on the Internet. We present the public
with high caliber information, news and analysis that has been chosen from
over a thousand publications and is centralized in one site.
