Glad to have you on Mastodon!

I'm dissapointed by the number of distinguished journalists that continue to use #Twitter

What do you think is the greatest barrier for a #journalist to leave Twitter? Abandoning a substantial following? Losing a breaking news platform and being slow to a new story? Something else?

☎️ MEMORY LANE | #Mexican #Journalist SPEAKS OUT |

A New ‘#Digital_Violence’ Platform #Maps Dozens of #Victims of #NSO_Group’s #Spyware. 📲

#Pegasus “activates your #camera, your #microphone, all that which forms an #integral part of your life.” #Mexican #Journalist #Carmen_Aristegui

#Israel_based NSO Group develops #Pegasus, a spyware that allows its #government CUSTOMERS??? near #unfettered_access to a #victim’s #device, including their #personal_data and their #location.

NSO has repeatedly #DECLINED to #name its #customers but reportedly has #government_contracts in at least 45 countries, said to include Rwanda, Israel, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates — #all of which have been #accused of human rights abuses — as well as Western nations, like Spain.

Forensic Architecture’s researcher-in-charge Shourideh Molavi said the new findings reveal “the extent to which the digital domain we inhabit has become the new #frontier of #human_rights_violations, a site of state #surveillance and #intimidation that enables #physical violations in #real_space.”

The platform presents #visual_timelines of how victims are #targeted by #both spyware and #physical_violence as part of government campaigns to #target their most outspoken #critics.

@dangillmor ironically, there's a small window of opportunity for #journalists of being "first" onto the #Fediverse and grabbing attention and v large following. (and then bring people with them). #mastodon #twitter #X #journalism #journalist

Gisteren hoorde ik dat Clairy #Polak is overleden, een bijzondere en deskundige #journalist.
Van haar herinner ik me de heerlijk cynische opmerking tijdens een Buitenhof-interview: "Als dat een grapje is, dan heb ik u wel leuker meegemaakt."
Ze wordt gemist.

I'm glad I'm a software developer and not a #journalist, this is hard work.

On Tuesday a bus driver and a parent at my kids' #BaltimoreCounty elementary school got in an altercation where the bus driver needed medical attention.

On Tuesday night the principal sent out a letter *only to the parents of the children on the bus* and vaguely alluded to "an incident" during the start Back to School night. My kids walk so I did not receive a copy of the letter directly.

Other parents started reaching out to me for info on text message since I've usually got my finger on the pulse of these things. I managed to get a screen shot of the letter from another parent who received it secondhand themselves.

I wrote to the principal and told her that rumors were going around that she ought to release a statement to all the parents in the school. She wrote back:

"Thank you for your email. We have provided letters to the families of those students who were on that particular school bus. BCPS is investigating the matter and will follow up as appropriate. We appreciate your concern and feedback on the matter. We will continue to work with transportation to ensure our students are safe coming and going."

Since BCPS was investigating, I reached out to their Office of Communications to see if they would tell me or the other parents anything about it before I shared the letter I had. I wrote to them with a one sentence email: "Will the district be releasing a general statement regarding the physical altercation between a bus driver and a parent at a bus...stop on the afternoon of August 29?"

Right before close of business one of the department's communication specialists replied to me saying "Thank you for your inquiry; a letter from [the principal] was sent to the parents of children on [the bus] advising them of this incident."

On further pressing this morning I finally got an email back from him simply saying "I am not aware of any plans to release a general statement about this incident. Thank you."

Bottom line, if there's a parent and bus driver fighting at or related to my kids' elementary school I believe the district has an obligation to communicate with me directly and not make me seek out this information and stonewall me when I do.

Actual coverage (sourced through my Facebook posts to the PTA) are up and circulating anyway, and now the rumors are flying about exactly what happened.

In an article this week, Baltimore County Public School Superintendent Myriam Yarbrough was quoted as saying, "Any time parents are surprised by something, you'll always hear me say that there's room for us to improve communication."

I couldn't agree more.
