You're bleeding. Blood is pouring out of you and it won't stop. What do you do? Put pressure on the wound. Apply tight bandages. Raise the wound higher than the heart. We've heard of these simple steps that can prevent us from bleeding to death, but how do you respond when someone you love is bleeding out emotionally? Day by day, we see our wounds. We watch as the vitality of our personality and our relationships drains away. We see the pain, the frustration, and the hopelessness but we feel helpless against it. We put these painful issues out of our minds because we have not considered that there could be actionable steps to "stop the bleeding." First Aid MWE gives you concise, straightforward steps to tackle real life problems that previously seemed impossible to resolve. Consider this: many of the world's worst plagues and epidemics could have been prevented by practical hygiene habits. What tragedies could be prevented if we developed hygiene habits in our most important faculty -- our minds? First Aid MWE is an easy to follow guide with step by step instructions for dealing with the thought patterns that dominate our decision making and determine our destiny. If we can change our thinking, we can change our lives. This book intends to empower you to do just that.

Since the first version of this classic work was published in 1974, major events in which American journalism has played a decisive role have cast the reporter increasingly as the subject for public examination. The newsman has become news. Though there are more serious, responsible journalists today than at any time in America, the less serious, less responsible also have great exposure. The loss of credibility of the mass media is widely acknowledged, and is a considerable concern to serious journalists. For not only is American policy-making hampered by sensational journalism, but also weakened is the philosophical foundation of a free society; a society committed to maximize the freedom of well-informed choice for individual citizens in a period of massification. This book presents a philosophy of journalism that not only relates to a journalist''s everyday activities, but also deals with a broad Weltanschauung for journalism which is built largely on the ideas coming out of the Age of Reason. Areas of philosophy are political philosophy and its relationship to journalism, epistemological concerns-primarily journalistic objectivity and truth-seeking, and journalistic ethics.
