One of points Dumor makes is the idea of the expert who is "looks out the window of their hotel".  The idea being that anyone could look out their window and tell you how things are going from that vantage point.  That is even more tempting in today's information age where the computer is a window into the world with instant views and results.  I imagine that there will increasingly be a paradox online: super availability of views and opinions on any given topic and increasingly inability to determine authenticity. 

Along those lines, I think that we do the best we can to reply on trusted sources, such as BBC.  We do this in part because a trust institutional source is more credible and reliable than an unknown source.  The downside is that we then can often miss stories that are important and that tell us about every day people.  For example, there are many social media channels that give real accounts of live in any country and these stories might be fit directly with student interests.  For my upcoming project, I am considering using social media videos where people describe the environmental challenges and opportunities in their communities.  For me, I think this creates space for at least searching for authentic voice--and I think this might be the most valuable lesson for students: we must listen to the community.
