One way to begin formulating such a lens it to witness others employing their own. As such, I suggest you start listening to at least part of “On The Media” every week. These are journalists covering journalism, politics (witness their destruction of current US political ads here)*, and all sorts of popular culture. Their Twitter feed is gold, too. Finally, if you like the Interwebs, or just things that are awesome, check out the OTM weekly Staff Picks. It’s a great way to kill time and get smarter. Or cooler.

*This trope borrows/steals from Mystery Science Theater 3000, one of the most hilarious shows or concepts of all time.
