Whose News? Class-Biased Economic News in the United States

There is substantial evidence that voters’ choices are shaped by assessments of the state of the economy and that these assessments, in turn, are influenced by the news. But how does the economic news track the welfare of different income groups in an era of rising inequality? Whose economy does the news cover? Drawing on a large new dataset of US news content, we demonstrate that the tone of the economic news strongly and disproportionately tracks the fortunes of the richest households, with little sensitivity to income changes among the non-rich. Further, we present evidence that this pro-rich bias emerges not from pro-rich journalistic preferences but, rather, from the interaction of the media’s focus on economic aggregates with structural features of the relationship between economic growth and distribution. The findings yield a novel explanation of distributionally perverse electoral patterns and demonstrate how distributional biases in the economy condition economic accountability

Implementation of the National Early Warning Score Tool in the Acute Care Setting

Practice Problem: The organization arbitrarily called a rapid response or code blue call based on abnormal vital signs or intuition and needed a new process to identify early recognition of patient deterioration. PICOT: For adult inpatients in an acute care setting in a large healthcare system (P), will implementation of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) across the organization (I) compared to data from the last fiscal year where NEWS was not used (C) decrease code blue calls (O) within 8-weeks (T)? Evidence: Eleven high quality studies met the inclusion criteria and found that the NEWS is a validated track and trigger tool, which promotes early detection of patients’ clinical deterioration and more accurate rapid response calls. Intervention: Staff fulfilled virtual training on completion of the NEWS tool within the computerized patient record system. Chart audits were conducted to measure compliance with the number of times the NEWS tool was used to trigger an event, and the number of times the trigger was missed. Outcome: The result of the two-tailed paired samples t-test was not statistically significant for rapid response calls. However, the clinical significance of NEWS implementation was that there was an increase in rapid responses and a decrease in code blue responses post NEWS implementation. Conclusion: The NEWS tool provided accurate identification of clinical deterioration to improve patient outcomes

A UX design project for a transparent news platform

In recent years, fake news has been dominating real news on the Internet. It misleads the public, stirs up and intensifies social conflicts. Online news readers crave the truth than ever. However, it is difficult for them to identify fake news from massive information on the Internet. This paper seeks to help online news readers make more informed and confident judgments on fact-checking by building a transparent news platform. This platform collaborates with news publishers to provide evidence and publish news articles on the desktop software. It also includes a news website which creates an engaging and understandable experience for online news readers to track evidence, obtain detailed information, and make judgments on fact-checking. The conceptual project is based on user experience research. Competitive analysis and literature review are used to find the effective strategy. Content analysis on current fact-checking workflow, and interviews with different users were conducted to discovering the pain points and needs of users. Based on the research result, objectives for the news websites and the desktop software are established. To achieve the goal, information visualization is used to make the appropriate design. Then, usability testing on six online news readers, a journalist, and an editor was conducted to evaluate the project and its impact
