Each week, I’ll be posting a list of the most news-worthy and/or inspirational, informative, well-written, thought-provoking, and/or unique posts of the week. While every post and every contributor is valuable to our community, these are the blogs that I feel are must-reads.
July 11- July 17
The Daily Show and Women: Making News Media Work In A Modern Era- by dandaman6007
Why I chose this post:
Why does it matter if women or other minorities are fairly represented in media? Because as we face a whole host of global and societal problems, the perspectives of people other than white men are crucial to authentically and effectively address the world’s challenges.
Apparently, there’s been some controversy brewing that The Daily Show is sexist. Dan puts the rumor to rest in a very intelligent way, while describing exactly why women in the media are so vital.

Summer break is a time when some relationships feel all the heat- by REACH_at_USF
Why I chose this post:
This includes some great advice on how to stay safe during your summer romance(s).
Gayming- by AFY-Ben
Why I chose this post:
Ben discusses sexism and homophobia in the gaming community. He makes a lot of excellent points that are so common-sense that you’ll wonder why you may not have noticed them before. And that’s one reason I think this blog is important- when something becomes so much a part of the culture that you hardly notice it, that’s when it most needs to be pointed out.

Why I chose this post:
Sarah talks about what she likes in the newly released National HIV/AIDS Strategy, as well as other things she would have liked it to include or have expanded upon.
On Shiloh, Angelina Jolie’s Child- by Jordan
Why I chose this post:
Jordan points out an important double standard in the way that children are “allowed” to dress.
Myths and Bigotry in Sex Education Debate- by AFY_EmilyB
Why I chose this post:
I hardly have words for how mad this made me, but I wanted to feature it to remind people the kind of things we’re up against.
