RH Reality Check

We've added a new comment rating tool in an effort at community moderation of the comment sections. 

I've been signing my emails with the "Be the change you seek" paraphrase of Mahatma Gandhi for many years. It is an every day reminder that change starts within. The challenge with change is you don't always know where you're going, or what exactly within you is changing, until you get there. But you take the first step, sometimes a leap, following where your heart leads when opportunity knocks, and change reveals itself.

I'm thankful I answered the knock as my heart led me to RH Reality Check almost four years ago.

On Monday RH Reality Check is launching a brand new feature for our community -- reader diaries that will expand the opportunities for readers to post and publish their own commentary on the site.

Old media is about writing opeds and hoping the legacy media Gods smile upon you. How many drafts do you have in your files? New media is about active participation, interaction, taking responsibility for sharing content, joining a conversation that puts all the accumulated expertise of our community at the finger tips of every person seeking to grow in understanding.

RH Reality Check has been selected as an "Official Honoree" in the political blog category for the 12th Annual Webby Awards. This is an honor for all of our writers, readers, and organizational partners.

RH Reality Check is thrilled to welcome three talented and accomplished staff writers: Pamela Merritt, Dana Goldstein, and Sarah Seltzer.

RH Reality Check likes to celebrate successes, and one of our biggest is Amie Newman. Today, she becomes Managing Editor of RH Reality Check!
