The fact that lots of #Canadian - and #international - news organizations have gone under in the modern age of the #internet is not news. It's unfortunate. Some news orgs have figured out how to #survive #economically in the age of the internet. Some have not.
More than one serious #analyst has come to the #conclusion that our news orgs are going out of business because they are, frankly, producing #terrible #content that no one wants to #pay for.

Imagine there's some shift in the #internet #markets, such that #servers #Mastodon and other #Fediverse programs cannot afford to keep going without mandatory #financial #contributions from their users. (I don't think this will ever happen, it's just a #hypothetical)
What is the maximum amount of #money you would be willing to #pay / #donate to keep your #server / #instance running?
What #content would you most want to keep interacting with? #Friends, #art, #science, #news, #politics, #AI, #tech, #VideoGames, #streaming, #LGBTQ, #furry, or something else? What cause would most entice you? #OpenSource, #NonProfit, #Democracy, #Freedom, or just non-#toxic #SocialMedia?
Please respond to and #boost this #poll, and let me know your thoughts in the #replies! (Sorry for #hashtag #spam, trying to maximize #reach for #diversity and volume of #responses)

In a great paper now available online at @OrganizationStudies, Massimo Maoret, Solon Moreira, and Halil Sabanci show that financial analysts can help. Here's how: as financial analysts increase coverage of a given firm, they draw attention to possible discriminatory pay practices, which can push stakeholders to pressure the firm.
by #HamiltonNolan:
"A new research paper by UC Berkeley economists finds that there are indeed (as anyone who has moved from a small town to a humming big city knows) earnings premiums for workers who live in certain areas—but 'local housing costs at least fully offset local pay premiums.' That is to say they found that all or more of the extra money that a worker earns by moving into an economically strong area is clawed back by housing costs. That big raise that your union fought for in the last contract? Send that right on over to the landlord."

“what wage growth there has been in the UK over the period of inflation since early 2022 has been concentrated at the upper end of the income distribution. In contrast, in the US, the lower-income workers have gained the most.
With the shortfalls of pay growth concentrated in the public health, safety and transport sectors, this is not sustainable”

A quotation from La Bruyere, Jean de:
«
Nothing reveals more clearly men’s attitude to learning and literature, and what use they think these are to the State, than the low price they put on them, and their opinion of those who have chosen to practice them.

A #correction - #Google, #Facebook et al are not "refusing to abide by our #laws". They are not in #violation of our laws.
We passed a law that says "If you #link to #Canadian #news #sites, you must #pay a link #tax".
So they have a choice: continue to link to Canadian news sites (and pay for the privilege), or stop linking to Canadian news sites. There is no #third #option.
We made them choose; don't be mad they made a choice.

#Clarification: there is no #legal #dispute involved here.
The #Canadian #government passed bill #C18, which says #Facebook, #Google, et al must #pay to #link to Canadian news stories.
It is now the law of the land. So companies have a choice: continue linking to Canadian news sites and pay for the privilege, or stop linking to Canadian news sites.
There is no third option.
A link tax makes zero #economic sense, so they chose option 2. Blame politicians, not the companies.

On the other hand, #ResearchSoftwareEngineering (#RSE) #jobs seem to #pay better (£37k upwards). However, they are typically #FixedTerm like #postdoc #roles, and a #ResearchSoftwareEngineer usually needs to have a #PhD.

Saw someone comment that the #US has a #teacher #shortage. There's no teacher shortage, there's a #pay and #workingconditions shortage. Fix that and America will be crawling with teachers.

Techies: So, #Facebook and #Google were driving #traffic to your #websites by showing #summaries of your #stories, with links back to your sites. Making them #pay to do so made no sense, to them or anyone else, so they stopped linking to your sites.
#Canadian #Legacy #Media: That's bad.
Techies: It's #worse for all the good media. Wait, I meant #modern media. Uh, #grassroots media. Or ... what don't you call yourselves?

#Canadian #Legacy #Media: Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy....
#Google: Uh, it doesn't make #financial sense to #pay to #link to your #stories; we don't get much out of it.
#Facebook: Ya, us either. I guess we'll stop linking to Canadian media sites.
