agents of change
rolling stone’s list of 100 “agents of change” was released last week and there’s some interesting names included. made up of “artists and leaders, policymakers, writers, thinkers, scientists and provocateurs who are fighting every day to show us what is possible — whether it’s engineering a new electrical grid, reinventing the way movies are made or challenging us to let go of our illusions and face the brave new world that stands before us”, the list consist of those you’d expect (bill gates, al gore, arianna huffington of the huffington post, rahm emanuel, bono and of course barack obama) and those you don’t (lil wayne, nick denton of gawker.com, taylor swift, chef david chang and a bunch of other name you wouldn’t recognize).
also included are two news anchors, anderson cooper and rachel maddow.
anderson cooper: since his new orleans coverage, andy has carried the reputation of being the anchor that cares. seems to be paying off… “In his serious persona, he doesn’t lose connection with the human toll of what he’s reporting. And he gets his hands dirty, reporting from war zones and from the front lines of the climate crisis in his Planet in Peril series.”
rachel maddow: rolling stones seems to think she’s an agent of change because she is “not some buxom anchor babe but an unconventionally sexy, nearly six-foot-tall nerd who’s not afraid to brandish her Rhodes scholar wits on national TV.” that, plus she’s “at the leading edge of the image of gay America — that is to say: totally normal” i’d say there’s a little more to it than that.
