EDITOR’S NOTE LOSS IN LAS VEGAS In this issue of Boise Weekly, News Editor George Prentice shares the story of Bill Morgan, a man blind since childhood, who once walked across America, but who now can’t walk through his neighborhood without the real possibility of injury.

Learn more about Bill on Page 6.

You’ll also find First Thursday listings, courtesy of the Downtown Boise Association, and with fall finally settled in, it should be a lovely evening for a walkabout. Find the deets on Page 11.

If you also need some inside entertainment, check out Prentice’s review on Victoria and Abdul, a new film about the relationship between the enigmatic Queen Victoria and Abdul Karim, a much younger Indian clerk. Dame Judi Dench stars as Queen Victoria and on Page 21, you can read about how Prentice metaphorically tripped on the red carpet the first time he met Dench.

On another, much sadder note, I thought about a conversation Monday morning after hearing the news about the Oct. 1 mass shooting in Las Vegas, the deadliest in modern United States history. A colleague had light-heartedly commented about how a newly retired parent now calls him in the middle of the workday. I chimed in, jokingly one-upping him, saying my mother once called me 17 times—in one day. Another colleague then added, “I’d do anything to talk to my father again.” His father passed away several years ago, but he still feels the loss.

More than 50 people were killed when a gunman started firing into a crowd Sunday night at a country music festival outside Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip. Whether it’s the random and violent nature of the event or the video and photographs of people fleeing the scene and of those who didn’t get away, the sense of loss is profound, and our hearts go out to those who will forever be coping with the aftermath.

OPINION BACKWARDS The people that time forgot BILL COPE This time tomorrow—assuming you’re reading these words on Wednesday, Oct. 4—I will be 70 years old.

No, stop. Thank you for your kind sentiments, but I tell you not to solicit felicitations.

I limp into this with something less than glee.

Having already gone five and a half years beyond the average life expectancy of an American male in the year I was born, I am grateful. On the other hand, show me a man who claims he is happy about turning 70, and I will show you someone from whom never to buy a used car.

The reason I bring it up is it presents yet another opportunity to talk about the shared Boomer experience. Back when I was considerably cockier, I would have argued how that shared experience would makes us the most unique generation to ever bless the planet. We could never compete in the Greatest Generation category, of course. That would require the one ingredient we lacked most: adversity. I suspect in some mid-century families, the most bothersome part of daily life was having to walk all the way to the television set to change channels.

Still, we were the first generation to come up under the blue glare of a communication innovation that put the entirety of creation before our unblinking little eyeballs. How could we not have been homogenized when we were all laughing at the same comedians, bouncing to the same music, cheering for the same sportsmen and following the same news. I realize this caricature is tilted heavily to white Boomers, but as there were so few ethnic presences on early television, children of color had little choice but to swim in the same cultural pool (if not the same municipal pool) as the white kids. One has to wonder if this early exposure to the smugly comfortable settings of Father Knows Best and Leave It To Beaver didn’t contribute, in some way, to the movement that culminated in the Voting Rights Act (the year I graduated from high school, incidentally).

As to that movement: We were the first generation to watch, in real time, such a dignified and persistent social revolution on our parents’ 21-inch screen—to witness those we had been warned about as they waged their struggle to live like us, and as a whole (I thought), we Boomers decided they weren’t at all as undesirable as we’d been told. Add to that, we were the first generation to watch, as narrated nightly by Walter Cronkite and David Brinkley, a war—an actual war, sans John Wayne—and our elders were surprised when so many of us decided we wanted nothing whatsoever to do with it.

In short, it felt that we were moving as one tide, we Baby Boomers. We shared the same BOISE WEEKLY.COM

music. We shared the same literature, the same taste in film, the same education levels, the same philosophical epiphanies, the same clothing choices, even. And it felt like our momentum was forward, ever forward. That, in spite of temporary setbacks—Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan come to mind—we were actually propelling the world onward with our optimism, our shared enthusiasm for an end to the social evils that had plagued humanity until we got here.

Trouble is, we were only seeing what and who we wanted to see—our mirror images, those who thought like us, behaved like us, voted like us and aspired to a more kindly world like us—and we ended up missing those who wanted nothing to do with us or our suggestions as to what needed to change.

No, that’s not quite right. We were aware of them, the Jerry Falwells and George Wallaces, the Spiro Agnews and the Pat Buchanans. The malicious mouths that preached and politicked evermore stridently against the grand strides forward we thought we were making. And of course, we were right in thinking so. Anyone who doubts that there have been grand strides forward in minority rights, environmental consciousness, equal justice, career opportunities and educational access, need look no further into history than that decade when I Love Lucy was one of America’s most popular ways to pass a half-hour, and Dean Martin could hold a No. 1 spot on a Billboard list for a month.

But while we—what I had so often deluded myself into believing was the great majority of Boomers—grew complacent and content with ourselves, those malicious mouths grew ceaselessly more preachy, more political. In retrospect, it’s understandable. They had—have—the most to lose. Were we to have achieved a completion to minority rights, it would interfere with their desire to avoid minorities. Were we to achieve environmental health, it would be at the expense of their habits. Were we to achieve equal justice, equal career opportunities and equal educational access, it would erode their conviction that only they were destined to be on top.

And now, as I limp into my 70th year—six and a half years shy of the average life expectancy of a modern American male—they are once again in control. Their dislike for us and everything we thought we’d achieved was stronger than our commitment to protect those achievements. Is this just another temporary setback? Or has the forward momentum been an aberration? Worse, an illusion? Have we, in truth, never moved beyond savagery as we told ourselves we had?

IN PLAIN SIGHT

Bill Morgan has been blind since childhood. In the 1980s, he successfully walked across the United States to raise awareness for alcoholism and the National Federation of the Blind. Now, overgrown trees and other obstacles hinder Morgan’s daily stroll through his Boise neighborhood.

GEORGE PRENTICE

S

Bill Morgan has lost count of how many times he has walked into obstructions on Boise sidewalks.

“I’ve been seriously injured a few times and flat on my back,” he said.

6 | OCTOBER 4–10, 2017 | BOISEweekly

hep knew something was wrong. The salt and pepper-colored, Australian shepherd guide dog dog paused, catching Bill Morgan unaware.

“What is it, Shep? What’s wrong?” asked the 71-year-old Morgan, who is blind, as he brushed his cane from side to side on the sidewalk in front of him, trying to detect some possible danger—there was no ditch, curb, oncoming bicyclist or nearby lawn mower. Morgan pulled on Shep’s harness, ready to continue his daily walk through his Boise Bench neighborhood. A split-second later, Morgan walked straight into the thick branch—which stretched across the width of the sidewalk—growing from a tree in neighbor’s yard.

“I’ve lost count of how many times this has happened. I’ve been seriously injured a few times [and] flat on my back,” said Morgan, lifting a shirt sleeve and pant leg to reveal a collection of scars. “I was walking along, you know, ba-cha, ba-cha, ba-cha and then right in the face. Pow, wham! It really scares you. Yeah, I’ve been knocked on my ass a number of times.”

Morgan’s neighborhood is lovely. The tree-lined streets—Shadybrook, Country Squire and Maple Grove—are practically welcoming a late summer or early fall stroll.

“We moved here, I think it was in 1988, and at times, the sidewalks could be a goddam jungle,” Morgan said. “Please understand, this is about everybody. I think this is something a lot of people can relate to. It’s an intrusion of a public right-of-way. Bushes, trees, you name it. I’ve been knocked flat on my back. My face has been all scratched up by needles or branches.”

Morgan has tried on multiple occasions to say something to homeowners but, more often than not, he doesn’t know who to talk to.

“And sometimes I’ve called out when I have fallen. I know someone is there, but they never respond,” Morgan said. “On those few occasions when I try to break off a branch that has stretched out across the sidewalk…. boy, [I] sure hear from them then. A few have been receptive, but some people get madder than hell.”

The obvious question is: Doesn’t the city have laws in place to protect pedestrians, particularly those with a disability, from such danger?

“Have we called the City of Boise? Countless times. Sometimes they respond, but a lot of times, nothing changes,” said Morgan’s son, Bill Morgan, Jr. “Years ago, the city sent somebody out and did a ride-along with my dad, and things got better for a little while, but then it happens again and again. At what point will people understand this is a major issue?”

The city already has. Section 9-08-01 of Boise Municipal Code reads “any person who shall obstruct, injure or impair, any of the sidewalks, streets or alleys in the City… and shall continue such obstruction for a period of 24 hours after notice from any police officer, or City Clerk Licensing Enforcement Officers to remove the same shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.” Section 9-16-13 is even more specific: “...Any tree or part thereof which…constitutes a hazard to public safety” or “any tree or part thereof which obstructs the free passage of pedestrian or vehicular traffic” are “hereby declared public nuisances.” Anyone with a complainant can call Boise Code Enforcement at 208-6087060 or file online at pds.cityofboise.org. Anonymous reports will not be accepted.

MEETING RONALD REAGAN What makes the the challenges Bill Morgan faces when navigating his neighborhood streets so ironic, is that he once walked across the United States to the White House. In a personal diary entry dated Oct. 24, 1983, then-President Ronald Reagan wrote about spending the day getting updates on a car-bombing in Beirut and meeting with then-Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill and the Joint Chiefs of Staff to discuss the pending invasion of Grenada. Reagan also noted he was meeting with radio and television journalists from around the U.S., and was scheduled to take what he called a “whole flock” of photos with a long list of visitors.

“Topping them all was Bill Morgan, the blind young man who walked across the country from Idaho to Baltimore just to prove the handicapped shouldn’t be counted out,” Reagan wrote.

It was an important accomplishment for Morgan, but was only one among a slate of triumphs, some of which were overshadowed by the many challenges he faced Bill Morgan was born June 4, 1946 and by the time he was in the third grade, he was 95 percent blind. Like both of his parents (who divorced with Morgan was five), he was diagnosed BOISE WEEKLY.COM

with retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary degenerative disease. Morgan, who was 95 percent blind by the time he was in the third grade, remembers a childhood in which he would lead his mother from corner to corner in downtown areas of several cities in the Northwest, where she would play a cello or accordion for tips.

“We kept getting kicked out for begging,” said Morgan. “Before I lost most of my sight, I could see the looks of pity and disgust on the faces of passersby. In the 1950s, we received a welfare check called Blind Aid. It was $90 a month. We had very little and lived in the ghetto of each new city.”

Morgan began working at age 10, cutting lawns, collecting bottles for deposits, cleaning out basements and garages, and picking beans or berries at local farms. At age 15, he earned 50 cents an hour making brooms and mops at a workshop for the blind in Portland, Oregon. In 1967, Morgan married the love of his life, Lynda (they celebrated their 50th anniversary this year). He was 20, totally blind and only earning 85 cents an hour at the workshop, where he would work for years to come. During much of that 8 time, Morgan faced another challenge, one that would inspire his cross-country journey.

THREE BANDS FOR BLIND KIDS

In 1983, Bill Morgan walked from Oregon to Washington, D.C.— 3,615 miles—where he met thenPresident Ronald Reagan in the Oval Office.

“I drank from age 12 until I was 30,” said Morgan. “In 1976, I 7 weighed 265 pounds, and my liver was enlarging and turning yellow orange. I was smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. It was New Year’s Eve 1976, sitting in a bar, that I prayed the prayer of all drunks: ‘God, if you are real, please help me.’

I haven’t had a drink since.”

THE WALK For decades after he quit drinking, Morgan attended and hosted Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, many of them in his home.

“I asked God how I could give back, how I could share with others what I had been taught by other blind people,” said Morgan.

“I wanted to share my story of alcoholism. So, in 1982, I decided to walk across America,” he said, pulling out a huge black portfolio, filled with newspaper clippings and photos documenting his walk across the United States.

Bill and Lynda’s three children—Kelly (age 12), Rhonda (age 11) and Bill, Jr.(age 10)—rode in a modest motorhome with their mother while Bill walked behind it. The walk was co-sponsored by the Christian Record Braille Foundation. On the back of the motorhome was a huge sign that read, “Stepping out for life and the NFB. I believe in life. I believe in challenges. I believe in God. Come walk with me. Bill Morgan.”

Along the way, donations kept the gas 8 | OCTOBER 4–10, 2017 | BOISEweekly

tank full, and the Morgans would spend the night or be invited to a potluck dinner somewhere, courtesy of a family or small church.

In total, Morgan walked 3,615 miles in 318 days—and then he was at the Oval Office shaking the hand of President Reagan.

“I found it hard to believe I was the same person who had stood on city streets holding the basket that passersby threw their cons into while my blind mother played music on the corner so we could survive,” said Morgan.

“This was what it meant to say that it is respectable to be blind.”

Though Morgan and his family saw a great deal of the U.S. during his walk, their move to Idaho came about after a different trip. In 1985, the Morgans were living in Bend, Oregon, and a friend asked Morgan to accompany him on a car trip to Boise, where the friend owned a pet store.

“I remember it as if it were yesterday,” said Morgan. “I stepped out of the car, and I remember the sound and the smell of all the trees. I couldn’t believe how many trees there were. It sounded so great and peaceful.”

Morgan and his family first lived in a double-wide trailer in Garden City before, in the late ‘80s, buying the home they still live in. Morgan worked at a ranch and a chemical plant, and served as a drug and alcohol counselor for three years. Lynda got a job working in the cafeteria of a nearby school, where she works to this day. They love spending time with their grandchildren. Life hasn’t been

easy for Morgan, though.

“Fifteen years ago, I was diagnosed, with no warning whatsoever, with rectal, colon and groin cancer,” said Morgan. “A couple of years later, it spread to my lungs,” said Morgan. “I was laid up in a bed or a chair for the next eight years. I went through a number of surgeries. I went through chemotherapy.

I almost died several times.” Then, this past summer, Morgan underwent prostate surgery and had an external pacemaker attached to his heart.

“But I’ve got to keep moving; I have to keep walking,” he said.

So each morning, Morgan straps a colostomy bag—which has a tiny device that injects painkillers into his system, as needed—grabs his braille compass, his cane and Shep, and he heads out.

Bill Jr. is his father’s biggest advocate and is angry the man who has faced so many challenges can’t take a walk around his neighborhood without fear of being knocked to the ground by an errant branch.

“Do you know what my Dad’s favorite quote is?” Bill Jr. asked. “‘I will find a way or make one,’” from Hannibal, the infamous Carthaginian general who crossed the Alps in 218 B.C. “I guess by now, you’ve learned a bit about my dad. My dad has been…”

Voice cracking, Bill Jr. continued. “My dad has been through hell. I wish he could see his grandchildren; but in so many ways, my dad sees more than most of us.”

There are nearly 500 visually impaired children across the Gem State, according to the Idaho Educational Services for the Deaf and Blind. Their parents, caregivers and teachers often relish any opportunity to participate in recreation or arts activities outside of a classroom setting.

“We’re thrilled with what we’re going to be able to accomplish through Three Bands for Blind Kids,” said Dana Ard, president of the Idaho Federation of the Blind of Idaho. “We’ve never done something like this before, but when we got the bands to perform, it all came together.”

On Sunday, Oct. 15, Boise-based bands Gerry & the Dreambenders, the Hoochie Coochie Men and The Mystics, will perform at the Mardi Gras Event Center, with proceeds going to sports, recreation and arts programs for visually impaired children.

“For one reason or another, blind kids may be pulled from sports, but here are so many things to do. Do you know about beep ball?” asked Ard, referring to a variation of baseball played by those with visually impairment, using a beeping ball. “And tandem bicycling and just about any form of recreation you can think of.

And art? There’s plenty of research that tells us kids get a good sense of spatial orientation through drawing. It really helps them get around. There are so many ways to raise these kids up.”

Advance tickets for Three Bands for Blind Kids are $20 a 3bands.brownpapertickets.com. Otherwise, admission is $25 at the door. The music starts at 2:30 p.m., and attendees can pop in anytime until 8 p.m.

Small movie, big message.

PAPER TIGERS AT THE FLICKS Lincoln High School, where Paper Tigers is set, is only a fourhour drive from Boise, which means the award-winning documentary hits both literally and figuratively close to home. The 2015 film written and directed by James Redford tells the story of how a school plagued with violence, poor grades, low graduation rates and self-destructive behavior turned the fate of its students around by exchanging old methods of discipline for attention and care. The change was sparked by a study showing adolescent behavior as a symptom of trauma at home rather than a problem in itself, and its success at Lincoln has already begun to change the way schools handle troublesome students.

Stop by The Flicks on Oct. 5 for a First Thursday screening presented by Idaho School Counseling Conference, and pay $5 to see the film New York Times journalist David Bornstein called “absolutely riveting” and “profoundly important.”

BOISE STARTUP WEEK

OPERA IDAHO PRESENTS: L’ELISIR D’AMORE

25TH ANNUAL SEE SPOT WALK

In Boise, small businesses are no joke, and entrepreneurs are encouraged to move here, adding value and creating jobs in the process. Enter Boise Startup Week, where future captains of industry can learn from the pros about crafting and presenting the perfect business pitch; attend tech salons and workshops; and hear from the likes of Tech Stars Ventures Managing Partner Mark Solon, Sun Valley Institute for Resilience Executive Director Aimee Christensen and more. Catch roundtables on recruiting talent, emerging technologies and raising money, and unwind with a Boise State University vs. Brigham Young University football game watch party. And don’t miss the VR Bash featuring keynote speaker Robert Scoble. All events are free, courtesy of sponsors (including Boise Weekly) but space is limited for some so RSVP ASAP. Oct. 4-6, all day. FREE. Visit boisestartupweek.org for schedule.

In the 1959 song, “Love Potion No. 9,” an unlucky-in-love young man buys an elixir on the promise it will help him find a partner.

It backfires, and soon he’s kissing “everything in sight.” A similar problem is at the center of L’Elisir D’Amore, which kicks off the Opera Idaho 2017-18 season. Nemorino (tenor Thomas Glenn) is in love with Adina (soprano Cecilia Violetta Lopez). The purchase of a potion—really just hooch—from Dr. Dulcamara (bass baritone Christopher Job) boosts Nemorino’s confidence, but the bombastic Belcore (baritone Jason Detwiler) blows into town and asks Adina to marry him. See if Nemorino gets the girl or kisses everything in sight in this comedic opera by Gaetano Donizetti. Plus, meet the performers and enjoy wine and desserts at Celebration at Chandi after the Oct. 6 show. (Tickets for the Celebration are $50.)

Oct. 6, 7:30 p.m.; Oct. 8, 2:30 p.m. $19-$72. The Egyptian Theatre, 700 W. Main St., 208-345-0454, 1718operaidaho.org.

Raise a glass and say a cheer to the enthusiasm of dogs.

Whether for a quick trip to the grocery store or a trek across the country, Fido’s desire to go along for the ride is singular and all consuming. A dog’s loyalty and friendship, along with a breakneck interest in everything their owners do, is what makes the relationship with our pooches so prized. Reward your furry buddy with See Spot Walk, where you can meet up with people and pets at the Julia Davis Park bandshell for a 1-mile walk through the park, and check out vendors, contests, demos and more. For Fido, it’s Christmas—walking with a thousand other dogs and their owners— and for the Idaho Humane Society, it’s a fundraiser to help in its mission to care for dogs without homes. This year, IHS hopes to raise $160,000 through pledges and registrations.

NOISE/CD REVIEW CD REVIEW: STEPBROTHERS FIND NEW WAYS TO FRET ON THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT Looking at the titles in Stepbrothers’ discography—including the group’s latest album, There is Always Something to Worry About (Flesh and Bone Records, 2017)—it’s tempting to infer some kind of thematic progression.

The local melodic hardcore band followed its debut EP Everything Might Turn Out Fine (self-released, 2012) with the albums Rapid Change//Breeds Growth (self-released, 2013) and Good Sons (selfreleased, 2014). There’s a tentative optimism in these titles, which seems to get squashed by the group’s most recent releases, Why the Fuck Would Anything Nice Ever Happen? (WavePOP Records, 2015) and TIASTWA. But even if Stepbrothers had such pretensions, the band would probably never cop to them. In any case, it feels a bit silly to use phrases like “thematic progression” when reviewing songs named “My Safe Word Is Kazaam” and “Nu-Metal, Who Dis?” Of course, that’s part of the group’s m.o.—as drummer Charlie Ritch told BW in 2015, he and his bandmates use goofy titles like these precisely to avoid such pomposity (not to mention make reviewers feel silly).

Still, a critic’s gotta do what a critic’s gotta do. So, at the risk of sounding ridiculous, we’ll point out that TIASTWA represents a culmination of Stepbrothers’ five years as a band, combining familiar themes of disaffection and anomie with some of the group’s most accessible music ever. It’s a fitting swan song for this group, which announced back in September that it would disband after opening for The Menzingers on Oct. 9 (see the Listen Here for details).

Despite the band’s high energy and playfulness, Stepbrothers’ songs have had pain and doubt at their core from the beginning.

Guitarist Pat Buckley and company have raged against soul-crushing routines and alienation since “2 Weeks Paid Leave” and “Grasping at Straws” from Everything.

On TIASTWA, the band finds new ways to cover old territory. The album’s songs have slower tempos and the catchiest melodies of any Stepbrothers release. The lyrics don’t have as many of the vivid details that made WTFWANEH stand out, but the band still comes up with great lines like this couplet from “Get Tricked and Die for Nothing”: “I’ve got an atlas I marked up with wishful thinking / Thrown aside to escape into blissful drinking.”

“I’ve done my best within my life to sing these songs / Instead of bending over for the bastards,” Buckley sings on TIASTWA’s closing track, “This is Where The Trail Ends, Friendo.” If this really is Stepbrothers’ last release, that’s the perfect note to end on.

I learned that the hard way in 2005. I asked In my daydreams, I imagine Dench said, “It’s Dench what she thought her chances were and good to see you again, George.” Alas, no. Our brief when our eyes locked, her steely glare made it encounter was just that. clear she was having none of it.

she returns to the role of Queen Victoria, the longest reigning monarch in British history.

Much has been chronicled about Victoria, like how she wore black for nearly 40 years mourning the passing of her husband Albert, and that she survived at least seven assassination attempts.

But little has been written of the extraordinary relationship between the 68-year-old Victoria and a 24-year-old Indian clerk (Ali Fazal), who was chosen to travel from India to England to present her Highness with a special Golden Jubilee coin.

Victoria’s attraction to the quite- married clerk was the subject of an inner-palace scandal, yet it never stopped the unlikely pair from becoming incredibly close.

Victoria and Abdul opens with the words, “Based on real events… mostly.” That’s because most of the correspondence, and any official records of Victoria and Abdul’s relationship, were destroyed at the time of her death on the orders of her son Bertie (played by Eddie Izzard) upon his ascension to the throne as King Edward VII. Victoria and Abdul couldn’t be timelier, with its overt themes of passion and intelligence pushing back against ignorance and prejudice and unless my guess is wrong, her portrayal of Queen Victoria should secure Dench her eighth Oscar nomination. But a word of caution: Don’t ask her about it. You wouldn’t want to upset the grand Dame.

WINESIPPER WINE SIPPER: COOLER WEATHER WHITES It’s cool at last! Nothing against summer, but the seasonal heat hung on a little too long.

Now that we’re getting closer to normal temperatures, it’s time to ease into light reds and bolder whites. Wines from the Rhone are just the ticket, so this time around, we tried white blends from that region, as well as wines made in that style. Here are the top three:

2015 ALEXANDRIA NICOLE SHEPHERDS MARK WHITE, $21 This single vineyard Rhone style blend of roussanne, marsanne and viognier hails from Horse Heaven Hills AVA in Washington. The nose is filled with gooseberry, lemon custard and soft peach, while the palate is round and ripe with creamy peach flavors backed by cinnamon baked apple and pumpkin pie spice.

Bright, cleansing acidity marks the finish.

2014 LES DAUPHINS COTES DU RHONE RESERVE, $9.99 The lovely aromatics are marked by light apricot, ripe apple and vanilla, along with touches of mineral and smoke. This is a nicely balanced wine, where crisp lime and lemon play against ripe peach and quince, and there’s a bit of herb on the smooth finish. Along with being the sole French entry to make the cut, this is also the best bargain.

2016 TABLAS CREEK PATELIN DE TABLAS BLANC, $24 This is another Rhone style wine, but unlike the white from Horse Heaven, this is a blend of grenache blanc, viognier, marsanne and roussanne from nine different California vineyards. The nose is peach and pear with a hint of citrus. This is a fruit-forward crowd pleaser with juicy stone fruit and ripe citrus flavors. A nice minerality and light acidity come through on the creamy finish.

CITIZEN DR. SETH ASHLEY

The essential nature of media literacy and fact vs. fiction GEORGE PRENTICE

The emergence of what scholars call the “modern media literacy movement” took hold in the 1990s, et, in the wake of the 2016 presidential election, the essential nature of media literacy has never been greater. Dr. Seth Ashley, an associate professor in the Department of Communication at Boise State University, has authored and co-authored many studies on media literacy; and prior to a Friday, Oct. 6 panel as part of the Idaho Library Association annual conference, Ashley talked about discerning fact from fiction.

Where might you prefer to start the conversation about media literacy?

The idea that all media messages are constructed; it really starts there for me. And we’re talking about every media product, a song, a film, a television show, a newspaper. It’s a human construction with people making decisions about what’s going into it and what it’s going to look like. If you start there, I think it’s easier to have a nonpartisan discussion about the nature of media messages.

Can you talk about bringing media literacy to the classroom?

Common Core Standards have brought some broad attention on media education in K-12 classrooms. Here at Boise State, we have an Intro to Media class, required for all our media majors—media literacy is really the foundation of that. Most students, even in our media program, haven’t thought much about the role of media in a democracy. Much of what we do is about having a greater understanding of corporate ownership of media and the job a journalist does versus a public relations professional.

Can I assume you’re talking about “sponsored content,” which looks like news and is tucked among legitimate journalism?

Absolutely. That’s part of it, and much of it has to begin in knowing that it exists in the first place.

[The content is] skillfully displayed to masquerade as news.

Much of the sponsored content even has a headline and is, quite often, in the same font as the news stories.

A lot of people say the so-called firewall between news and sales was never really there.

More and more high-profile news organizations have turned to sponsored content.

It’s a desperate time for some organizations and people are trying everything they can think of to cover the gap to get them through to whatever a better business model might be. I hope it’s not the new normal.

Do you think the media is a willing partner in improving media literacy?

No. I don’t think they see it as part of their purview. Listen to the way our phones ping at us constantly. It’s not an accident. It has us salivating like Pavlov’s dogs. That, for me, comes back to the classroom, to getting students to think critically about content and how it’s produced. A lot of this is basic sociology.

Which brings us to social media.

The internet was going to be this amazing level playing field, with open access to all but, not surprisingly, it has become a totally commercial monster. There are about 2 billion people on Facebook—almost a third of the world’s population.

What do you make of Facebook announcing that it would take a greater role in filtering out fake news?

That’s a good start, but they only want to think of themselves as a technology company. They don’t really want to be responsible for the content, for all kinds of legal and other reasons. When they put in human editors, they got accused of liberal bias. When they put robots in place, there was a lot of crazy stuff that was totally fake. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

What are you working on outside of the classroom?

I have one book under contract and another in the proposal stage.

What will we see from you sooner than later?

The book that will come out next is called American Journalism and Fake News.

Wow. Are you constantly rewriting with updates?

There’s so much that is timely, but we’ll be talking about this for quite some time.
