GBH News is a PBS/NPR newsroom in Boston, Massachusetts.
We start each day with a greeting, the weather, a news brief, and a poll.
It surprises me when we get people who say they think this is the full output of our newsroom, but of course it is not. We simply care enough about the #fediverse to engage here.

(TL;DR, cut the unnecessary predatory parasitic middlemen.)
This is the way to make the content you work so hard to produce directly available to the public in a familiar, easy to consume post/microblog format without the need for us to login through abusive external intermediaries that siphon and exploit users' personal information and don't even provide you any tangible benefit in return.
@TCatInReality@Hey_Beth@gbhnews@Dragon i honestly think it is exactly like the 1990s with the birth of the web. Media just doesn't "get" the advantage of the open social web yet, they are still wrapped up in the previous paradigm. They will get there though.
Hello #fediverse! I hope this toot finds you well.
Dipping in to let you know about 2 things:
If you're feeling the holiday blues, avail yourself of the #JoinIn hashtag, where people are sharing their experiences and helping others feel less alone and more supported.
Beginning at 6ET, GBH will have its annual #ChristmasEve#Music lineup, starting with jazz, and then on to the inimitable underground rock DJ Oedipus' holiday mix, and then The Nutcracker. ▶️ http://gbh.org
I guess this means I have to walk to the top of Great Blue Hill?
Does anyone know when I can do this at a time where I won't be hit with a torrential downpour and/or lightning? Say in the next week or so? I will say hi at the top.
[Backstory: GBH's radio call letters stand for "Great Blue Hill," a hill in Milton. Our transmitter is at the top of this hill].
