    Okay. Given Google’s annual revenue is $109 billion, that’s like someone making $50,000 giving about a dollar. Would that be reported as news? Reporting should include the denominator.https://twitter.com/aaranged/status/976140731013214208 …

    Finally, Google is putting $3M towards MediaWise, "a media literacy project designed to help millions of young people in the U.S. discern fact from fiction online, through classroom education and video" http://bit.ly/2G0duG0  @Poynter 7/7

        I use Chromebooks because of security & rec them to adults—but under strict lockdown of settings. In schools, it means enrolling kids in Google ecology without training & exposing young people to YouTube which is not okay. See: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/10/opinion/sunday/youtube-politics-radical.html …https://twitter.com/kwm/status/976439197560012801 …

        I agree that the denominator matters for some purposes, such as evaluation of total giving. But doing good is doing good. To wit: Google provided Chromebooks and service to under-funded elementary schools where we used to live. Low cost. Huge impact. That's okay, I think.

        Can you put a dollar amount on what would be newsworthy?

        Presumably, like many examples of corporate giving, the media campaign equals or exceeds the actual amount of their benevolence.

        Sure, but the appropriate denominator for a single donation is the recipient’s budget. Can they absorb it usefully or will it all go to “administrative costs”?

        So true and simple! Denominators are, well, critical to critical thinking. #denominators

        Revenue is not profit, and they are a publicly traded company. Not jumping to Google's defense, but having a number of good friends there who do a lot of good with their employer's backing, sniping at one investment out of literally tens of thousands seems slanted.pic.twitter.com/7y0O1RoofB

        If anyone thinks “media literacy” is going to fix this mess, watch this danah boyd talk on it - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0I7FVyQCjNg … - long, but worth it even though she offers no solutions.
