If I had just woke from a 5-year coma and read that the real estate market had collapsed, and that the government had spent over $200 billion dollars to bailout nearly every major American bank, how many of you could explain what happened?
Many of us couldn’t, and that’s an unsettling statement considering that we just lived through it. But it’s not your fault. The media has turned into more of a spectacle than the informative service it was designed to be. The biggest spectacle of them all is Fox News, I’m looking at you Shepard Smith. With all of their exploding sound effects and fancy graphics, it feels like you’re watching a poor mans Independence Day. Except there are no aliens, and the movie never ends. CNN, CNBC and even newspapers aren’t doing any better.
Enter Jonathan Jarvis and The New Mediators. The business sounds like a rock band, and Jarvis is already a rock star when it comes to conveying complicated issues in a simplistic fashion. He does this by using graphic representations for events and combines them with fluid animations and tops it off with transparent, unbiased commentary.
