"Trump is no longer just the message. In many cases, he has become the medium" Fine article from ‬ "I Ignored Trump News for a Week. Here’s What I Learned" Useful well written piece on what our media has become. ‪The stats are incredible. Mr. Trump is more talked about than anyone else in the past - ever? “From a media perspective, it’s pretty clear,” Mr. Senatori (of statistics company mediaQuant) said. “The sheer volume, and the sheer amount of consumption, and all the new channels that are available today show that, yeah, he’s off the charts.” Thanks for flagging this up

Coverage of President Trump may eclipse that of any single human being ever. I discovered several truths about our digital media ecosystem when I tuned it out.

Wow can't believe we missed this post, brilliant Howden Park Centre Livingston West Lothian Youth Action Project

Toronto Nursery School children and teenagers from West Lothian Youth Action Project have been working together to create their very own app that was launched today! The ‘Teens & Weans House’ project saw school children work together with teenagers to create their very own app designed for the very young to play.

Teenagers have steered the design, UX, coding & music. Early years children provided the artwork and voices for the app. A very big well done to everyone involved!...

The project was funded by Creative Scotland's Time To Shine Digital Fund and managed by West Lothian Council’s Community Arts. Facilitated by Hippotrix with David Trouton a music specialist.
