...saviors "parachuting" into Africa, Asia and other "helpless" parts of the planet to rescue people from hunger, disease and natural disaster. By featuring on TIME's cover a Chinese philanthropist, working creatively and energetically within China, it is my hope that you will inspire other global media organizations to focus more on homegrown solutions and solution providers. Bono, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates (and I dare say Madonna) are doing a great job in Africa. But surely there are African philanthropists and social entrepreneurs who also deserve a spot in the limelight - even if the power of their checkbooks...
...much as possible. The U.N.'s Barlow - whose mandate is to increase access to clean water for the 1.7 billion people worldwide who now lack it - is doubtful about the cost of recycling programs like Orange County's, especially for poorer countries. She'd like to see more focus on keeping water sources clean in the first place. But she knows recycling is a necessity. "Water is far, far too precious to waste," she says.

"For young people looking for discipline and a focus it could help them feel a part of something bigger than themselves...
...competition.While going online will require major shifts on the part of traditional media outlets, they should not discard the best elements of print in the process. In particular, editorial cartoons, artwork, and design risk losing importance in digital journalism. In transition to the Web, newspapers should retain a focus on graphic design and cartooning, and indeed exploit the medium to innovate in those areas. The Internet provides a great opportunity for new, engaging artistry in journalism. Newspapers must not let that opportunity pass by.None of this is to say that print journalism should be abandoned completely. There will always...
