Americans rely on the media to hold Govt accountable. That is why we have freedom of the press.

Kavanaugh story is excellent example of a story that didn't get enough attention. Hollywood has brought it back. Now I see journalists asking 'what is everyone hiding about Kavananaugh'?

I don't know. You tell me.

This story is too important to ignore. Please?

The heads of France's leading unions will meet in the evening to discuss responding with protests and strikes. They have all already said that they oppose an increase of the retirement age.

For the unions, even the most reform-minded, the fact that the government softened an initial plan to increase the retirement age to 65 makes no difference. They had warned that both were a no-go.

"An extensive investigation has been undertaken regarding the sale of Dimension Data’s Campus property in Johannesburg, South Africa,” NTT said in a statement.

NTT said the investigation revealed that former senior executives did not disclose their personal financial interest in the transaction and wrongfully induced the conclusion of the transaction.

W.Va. journalist let go after reporting on abuse allegations - corrupt, politically-motivated bosses didn’t like her speaking truth to power. So much for freedom of the press in #westvirginia - https://apnews.com/article/af942f587d098b2d996cc6e01991d615 #journalistsonmastodon #journalism #journalismisnotacrime #freedomofthepress #Reporter #NPR #publicradio #PBS

Happy #TransAppreciationFriday!

Random fact? I trained as a biochemist before...working in IT, then becoming an ER nurse (still am, some of the time) before becoming a cleaner transportation journalist for @show . Kinda an odd route to journalism, but an interesting one :)

I am a dual citizen of two failing democracies... So yay to that! ;-)

I know that the Guardian is sharply criticized for some of who they platform but they are far better than the Sun, Sky News, Fox and such.

Maybe now that they are being targeted by cybercriminals it is time for them to show other #newspaperes the benefit of opening a #mastodoninstance for their #journalists
#journalistsonmastodon please speak to your directors about this.
