Whew! NYTimes charging $60 for 4 weeks for paper delivery. Switching over to my local library (which has free, online access to a lot of papers... hooray!) I like (real) paper, but not at that cost. I do need more #newspaper for the animals cages, though, but at a more affordable rate. (Recently re-subscribed to the LA Times, however).
I have to infer that the #Bezos#newspaper, #WashingtonPost, is getting out ahead of a truly terrible story about #GoodReads ... Corrupt reviews and bullying are a bad enough story to kill the platform, but still -- Reading this piece, I feel like there's something worse wriggling under the covers about to come crawling out. (Paywalled.)
The Right's #Fascistic war on the #FourthEstate is nothing new. But when cops raided a rural Kansas #Newspaper office and its editors’ homes over an investigation in progress, a dangerous precedent was set.
"Trump suggested a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff deserves execution... And in an utterly disturbing, profanity-laced speech last week in #California, he said we should shoot robbers in the back...
Very poor editorial judgement showing up in the #ThousandOaksAcorn, our local paper. They published this editorial from someone in Trabuco Canyon (Orange County). 114 miles and 2.5 hours from our community. Deliberate injection of right wing hate into the paper? #journalism#news#newspaper
“I'm doing this because I believe that newspapers still have a place in the world and that the worst thing that a newspaper could do was shrink its reporting staff, stop reporting, fill itself with non-news when there's still #news out there.”
A small #newspaper was investigating the chief of #police. They it was raided by the police.
While clearing up my late mother’s house, I came across some historically significant newspapers that she had stored in a cedar chest more than fifty years ago. Rather than leaving them sitting in a drawer at my place, I’m trying to think how they might be put to good use in some kind of educational program, or displayed where people could see them. The Toronto Archives were not interested, and the museum library has not yet responded to my query. Ideas are welcome!
Been reading r/worldnews for a decade now and lately it has been really revealing what a propaganda machine it has become. Just got perma banned for pointing out that "legal war targets aren't necessarily ethically correct"
With Artifact gone, reddit basically gone - what other sources do you use for #geopolitics?
Stressed beyond her limits and overwhelmed by hours of shock and grief after illegal police raids on her home and the Marion County Record newspaper office Friday, 98-year-old newspaper co-owner Joan Meyer, otherwise in good health for her age, collapsed Saturday afternoon and died at her home.
If news about stuff around the world is your interest my suggestion is to get an RSS Feed Aggregator like Feedly and connect all the various news sources you enjoy and then read the content like a magazine #news#rss#feed#newspaper#media
Hungary, 1976. Nothing nicer than reading the morning newspaper on a warm day. It's weird though how the over-the-top-of-the-glasses look always seems to appear like an admonishment of some sort!
Newspaper chain Gannett has paused the use of an artificial intelligence tool to write high school sports dispatches after the technology made several major flubs in articles in at least one of its papers.
My daughter asked my permission to stop subscribing to her local paper (a McClatchy rag that she says is just h.s. sports and crime log any more) and donate the same amount to a local non-profit news startup. I gave her my dispensation. #journalism#newspaper@dankennedy_nu
Hoo boy. I have a feeling this is going to be very interesting...
