Watching German baritone Michael Volle sing Verdi's "Falstaff" in Great Performances from the Met on my PBS station. They have him in a large belly prosthetic which is so huge he looks like he's pregnant with quintuplets. It's a wonder he can move about the stage! #Opera #PBS👨🎤 🎭
@gbhnews Start feeding us chewy stuff and people will boost and follow your profile.
But yeah, I wish every #NPR / #PBS station would run an instance of their own. (Take it from me, it's not that hard!)
An independent instance with profiles for their shows and reporters. How #news agencies should operate in the #fediverse, IMHO.
Might I suggest that you kick off your #Juneteenth weekend with these resources from #PBS...
In fact, I just watched "Buffalo Soldiers: Fighting on Two Fronts" and highly recommend it!

Watching #PBS #documentary about Little Richard & how his #music broke down racial barriers:

Sunday is for #PBS. I noticed a new series, #IconicAmerica, that starts with #FenwayPark. This is gonna be good.

@petersuber @academicchatter Thank you, for sharing this, Peter. I’m not an academic (but close) & often deal with press.
Here’s a best case scenario:

I’d like to see #PBS News Hour on Mastodon.
I’m going to email them at viewermail@newshour.org

I'm more excited about German #publicbroadcasting channel @ZDF counting down the hours to their #mastodon launch than I have any reason to be 😅

O, dear, here we go, again…
#abc #News branded with new label 'Government-funded #Media' on #Twitter
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-17/abc-branded-government-funded-media-by-twitter/102230338
#BBC also received the label but it was later changed to "publicly-funded media"
What does #ElonMusk have against 3 letter acronyms (#NPR, #PBS, etc…)?

Hard numbers beginning to come out showing mastodon is a home for news engagement. Pass it on.

American Public Media, #NPR and #PBS leaving #birdsite saying
"#Twitter is now actively aiming to undermine the integrity of public media organizations like ours.”
Feels like the beginning of a strategic retreat by the #FourthEstate ahead of actual cultural civil war.
Raises the question: Where are the battle lines? #Mastodon is a safe haven, glad to be here.
Other agencies are leaving too. I hope they arrive here soon.

Speaking of “#government-funded”
Elon Musk’s #SpaceX & #Tesla got (far) more government money than #NPR :

Wow… American Public Media Group, like #NPR, #PBS & others announce they are suspending the use of Twitter
"#Twitter is now actively aiming to undermine the integrity of public media organizations like ours.”

I have deep respect for #PBS & #NPR as a #writer & #reader.

@TechDesk It would be nice if they turned up here. German #publicbroadcasting channels are currently setting up their own instances and profiles
#npr #PBS
Good move by both NPR and PBS
