Francesco Costa and Luca Sofri from “Il Post” visit University of Milan Statale for a dialog on journalism with Sergio Splendore, Rodney Benson and a group of NYU students abroad.

#FederatedPress has new artwork! @Anna did a great job—talk to her if you need some cute mastodons for your server.

I'm not sure, these may be the first recorded #journodons in the wild. 🐘

Oooo TIL that PassCheck exists to verify #journodons so that they can have a cool green checkmark on their profile.

Neat! :)

It is interesting how my news consumption patterns have changed since I’ve shut down my Twitter account.

Without the continual flow of undigested bits of news on the BirdSite, and the relative lack of news here, I actually find myself reading MORE news directly, more slowly, from the actual source, with far less anxiety. 1/2

Hard no, and I don’t know any reporters who would permit it; but it is requested often enough that there is evidently a widespread belief that it is a normal practice.

Our local sheriff-elect was genuinely surprised when I said no to this request recently (and he turned down an interview request because of it).

#journodons, how do you respond to these requests?

Continuing that slow drip of stuff I wrote this year...

The anti-corporate/anti-globalization facets I glimpsed in researching the anti-apartheid movement are something that I wish I'd had more time to work with. I analyzed them in a journal article I wrote on corporate codes of conduct in South Africa, but then I was able to offer a summary of that for Jacobin earlier this year.

@Sameagle welcome, Sam 👋
#Introduction #Introductions #Journalism #Journodons

Rather than doing a thread of all of my #publications from this year like I might have done on #Twitter, instead I think I'll do a slow roll-out over the coming days and weeks.

This was a profile I wrote of NAICCO's food truck in Columbus, #Ohio. I wanted to understand how food helps us to understand the lived reality of many indigenous peoples in the U.S.: most live in urban, intertribal settings.

Not a real poll. None of them are. Just some trolls, bots, and Trump RWs. Space Karen even said so. Reputable news #media organizations should put the word in quotes.

“Musk tweeted on Saturday that he made the decision after a narrow majority voted in favor of restoring Trump’s account in another Twitter poll he posted.”

Something I've wondered about but never gotten a good answer for: do other #freelance #journalists use agents? Is there a point at which an agent is useful?

One thing #Mastodon needs for the smooth transition of #journalists to the platform:

A '#journorequests' community.

They're thriving on #Twitter and have been really helpful to me lately.

How do you think we can work to achieve this for Mastodon? 🤔

Good morning from the UK! 👋

#journalists, what's the largest number of contributions you've received from experts and PRs for a single article?

I just sent over 30 courtesy emails to them with updates... I couldn't help it!

I used to work in PR... so that might be why! 😁

What's your stance on sending these types of emails to sources?

I just sent over 30 courtesy emails to them letting them know if they'd be included in one of my 3 upcoming articles with Patient.info... I couldn't help it!

What's your stance?

Curious to know if there’s a journa.host equivalent for #JournalismStudies scholars. Are most of y’all hanging on Mastodon.social or has there been a general tendency to nest on a different server? #Journodons #Commodons

We have #journojobs at #Axios! Come work at a cool and exciting and diverse media company. We are looking for an entertainment reporter. #journalists #journodons #journalism #reporters #nabj #nahj #naja #aaja #nlgja

I hope this continues, Trying to be optimistic. “I’m seeing a lot of other journalists feel this, is that it actually forces you to ask and confront some of these questions and to make active choices. Even if Mastodon were to remain Twitter’s very tiny stepbrother… I think we got lazy as a field, and we let #Zuckerberg, #Dorsey, and, god help us, #Musk and their staff decide all these major journalistic questions.” #Journodons https://themarkup.org/newsletter/hello-world/mastodons-moment

I’d like to officially welcome @MacFarlaneNews to federated.press. You should follow him! #Journalism #Journodons #TwitterMigration

@gme i wanted to tag in #journalism #journodons #Journalists to get a more complete understanding of the Fediverse

@wood It’s very mildly distressing that yours is the only reference to #journodons bc it’s a very good hashtag! Also, I am not a #journalist but I have been eager to see how/whether/when more newsy peeps and outlets start staking their claim here. Hopefully more news comes to this platform so we can conjure more fun toot-y hashtags!
