The trouble at award-winning Atlanta #magazine: it started w/#pronouns (standard #journalistic practice by the way) #journalism #language #publishing

@ChrisPirillo the only good that come from this is if he forces the issue to improve legislation on the topic.

#NetNeutrality has been in limbo for way too long.

Also, #Section230 needs to change so that real-time feeds are fully free speech protected, but #algorithm feeds are deemed #Journalistic #editorials , and the publishing platform is ethically and legally liable.

@shrikant Yes I agree that everything and anything can be improved, and that is no excuse for taking the focus off of the inexcusable #mediabias and #journalistic #malpractice I am attempting to expose and discuss here.

Personally I think that Mastodon would benefit far more from a well organized counter #disinformation campaign against the purveyors of this #propaganda tripe even more than a slightly better #UX.

Britain’s famously progressive #newspaper, the (Manchester) Guardian, rummages around the past to unearth its unnerving ties to slavery w/all the #journalistic tools at its disposal in a long-needed reckoning https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/08/business/the-guardian-slavery-manchester-cotton-capital.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Margaret Simons article in The Guardian today looks quite surgically at the after effects of the #Fox bullshit #court cases, where the #Murdoch family have actively lied to their victims of #journalistic rubbish.

Well worth a read. No paywall.

The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed. 🤖

“As a result of the #publication of this article, immediate personnel consequences will be drawn. Die Aktuelle editor-in-chief Anne Hoffmann, who has held #journalistic responsibility for the paper since 2009, will be relieved of her duties as of today.”

“The latest edition of Die Aktuelle ran a front cover with a picture of a smiling Schumacher and the headline promising “Michael Schumacher, the first interview”. The strapline added: “it sounded deceptively real”. Inside, it emerged the #quotes had been produced by #AI.”

Don't you hate it when a #News website betrays #journalistic ethics, conflates propaganda with news, and contributes to the downfall of democracy, and yet has the temerity to put up a paywall? Well, screw those bastards. If they lose money it's because they deserve it. What you need is a 12 foot ladder to get over that paywall. https://12ft.io/

A watershed of #journalistic misdeeds at Fox #News. I’ll leave it at that.

Super grateful to historian Timothy Snyder for taking a sharp look at that #NYTimes article from Oct 2016 that announced the FBI found "no clear link" between Trump & Russia. In misleading readers the way it did, "it is suggestive of something malignant."

As Snyder says, only looking closely at those events gives us a chance to heal. So he analyzes some faulty #journalistic practices.

This report sees #journalistic “bias” less as partisanship and more as relying on too-comfortable habits

@lcrw What bothers me is that the cable “news” outlets are giving these people airtime. Remember the good ‘ol days when the lunatics were shuffled off to the fringes where they could play with their toes and count the conspiracies against them? Now, they’re front-and-center because outlets like #CNN, #Fox, and #MSNBC (among others) are more interested in viewership and agenda than any notion of #journalistic #integrity.

I know I’m not making some big revelation with that statement, but it still saddens me to think of how far we’ve fallen from the days of Edward R. Murrow, Dan Rather, and the like.

What saddens me more is that I don’t see a way back.

@molly0xfff Lol, article summed up as : "tell me it's a ponzi without telling me a ponzi." I guess people have about as much #journalistic #integrity in #crypto articles as the do for *most* anywhere else in journalism, sadly.

New #podcast episode!
With @tomasdodds, we discussed what it means by a #technosocial newsroom and how platforms (like #twitter) are transforming #journalistic role perceptions and hierarchies.
Yet, technologies can also be used to empower citizens to complement traditional media during social unrest such as citizen #fact-checking organisations.

@yorik @FreeCAD @fosdem What a shame... This is probably the subject of some #journalistic #investigation . BTW hundreds of #journalists are already on the #fediverse: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13No4yxY-oFrN8PigC2jBWXreFCHWwVRTftwP6HcREtA/htmlview?resourcekey=undefined&pru=AAABhH2W2zA*V1PG7hJSTbifNCcDu40zLA#gid=1320898902

These new revelations have also led to new calls for CNN to fire #Cuomo for a substantial breach of #journalistic standards.

Some people wonder when they could get their next hair cut seen the restrictions caused by the pandemic of the #Wuhan-type #Coronavirus.
Since my job involves #traveling for the sake of #journalistic research, things are more existential for me: Planned trips to #Taiwan, #Portugal and #EasternEurope have all been cancelled due to #travel restrictions. If this goes on for too long, I'll be running out of stories. #work #Covid19
