Had a great time today presenting a lecture on news burnout.
The Oliver Public Library hosted my presentation and the attendees enjoyed the one-hour discussion on how news works and how to avoid over exposing oneself to it.
The library had a table set up with books related to the topic and set up their lovely meeting room.
More lectures are planned in the area starting again in September.
Localization and World News on the Internet. What is localization on the internet? How does it affect you?

Localization is a global system that in effect, may foster censorship and propaganda. How so? Let Martin Anthony walk you through his understanding of this seemingly invisible firewall of free information. His experience with topics of the internet started, in Vancouver, prior to the dot com era. He sat on committees (Praxis and AES) that discussed copyright protection long before it was an issue.
In later years, he became manager and Editor in Chief of the English Internet department of a privately owned Turkish news agency in Istanbul. There he worked with journalists from around the world. Martin later hosted a TV talk show in Istanbul where he interviewed scores of guests ranging from a former Whitehouse security chief, to world famous musicians.
