GOOD has recently been on a bit of a media blitz, with our editors getting out in front of the camera to talk about recent news events, and discussing articles from our most recent issue, Beg, Borrow, or Steal. 

Here is a clip (advance to about the 37 minute mark) is GOOD’s education editor, Liz Dwyer, discussing her moving piece about what the Trayvon Martin case means to her not just as a concerned citizen—if you are unsure of how bad this law is, please reference our infographic—but what it meant for her as a mother of two black sons. She also talks about this poignant discussion she filmed with her kids (who are the best, by the way) about racism in their day to day lives. 

In this clip from The Big Picture with Thom Hartman, our associate editor, Nona Willis Aronowitz, chatting about her piece from our latest issue, “Minimum Rage”. This has been a big topic for our editorial team, with us launching a new Tumblr for all the Minium Ragers out there. 

We’re incredibly proud of the work from these talented people, and bonus points that both can look so good on camera. Watch the shows to hear their thoughts on these topics, and hopefully we can keep spreading these topics, and others, more in the future.

Infographics: This Is Your Teen on Drugs

For nearly four decades, the University of Michigan has monitored the prevalence of smoking, drinking, and illicit drug use among eighth, tenth, and twelfth graders in the United States in its report “Monitoring the Future.” The most recent findings suggest that drug use among teens—particularly the consumption of tobacco and alcohol—is not nearly as prevalent as during the hard-partying (and DARE-saturated) 1990s.

Though oil money is plentiful in post-Soviet Russia, little of that cash trickles down to most of the nation’s nearly 142 million citizens. Russians have long been known for love of the drink, and with about 19 million Russians now living below the poverty line, struggles with drugs and alcohol are on the rise. According to a  2010 Kremlin Advisory Panel, alcoholism in Russia has gotten so bad that 500,000 people die annually from diseases, crimes, and accidents related to alcohol. For men, who tend to guzzle more than women, the average life expectancy in Russia is now a wildly premature 60.

The Russian government has tried lots of things to combat alcoholism over the years, from taking vodka off store shelves to, most recently, ramping up the price of vodka. Nothing has worked. Now President Dmitry Medvedev is taking his attention off liquor and turning it toward beer. By order of a new law, beer is now considered an alcoholic beverage in Russia. Sound crazy? Allow us to explain.

The “fair” had come to town in Tecomate. They had a super rickety Ferris Wheel, a couple of other equally questionable rides, and a trampoline. Here the kids are deciding which of these they’d prefer. The Ferris Wheel won. We treated.
