From a #Finnish#newspaper on an intelligence report about #Russian interference in the accession of #Finland and #Sweden to #NATO by creating false protests against the #muslim religion. Use of faked #grafiti and inauthentic online trolling is discussed.

If you know me, you know I love old newspapers. Today I scored big when a lady on a buy nothing group was giving away a stack of old local papers from important historical dates.
They are asking that we "respect [the] walkout by not crossing the picket line: For 24 hours, please do not engage with any Washington Post content. That includes our print and online news stories, podcasts, videos, games and recipes."
@msquebanh Now you're just showing off, because we can't get wallpaper like that here? LOL, but, you mean 1970s, right? I had 1889 wallpaper, it's been damaged and replaced since but let me find a sot to show you? I kept a piece for historic reasons. The house is more than 100 years old, one of the early ones in the community. Wall studs are 4x4 and 4x6. Wallboards were solid 1 inch hardwood. , to remove this and keep a piece, I had to cut it off. #Newspaper#Wallpaper#Historical#Halifax 1889
Transcript: Once you’ve been to #Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry #Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a #newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie #Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at #TheHague next to #Milošević. While Henry continues to nibble nori rolls and remaki at A-list parties, Cambodia, the neutral nation he secretly and illegally bombed, invaded, undermined, and then threw to the dogs, is still trying to raise itself up on its one remaining leg.

Local newspapers are struggling but we still have impact. Consider:
In the 7 months from April Monday, the state registered a total of 915 public speed tests on its #broadband site. On Tuesday, the day my column appeared in the Concord Monitor describing the test, they got 270 more.
Trying to come up with pithy-but-kind replies to "I can't read your article, I reached my free paywall limit" comments on our newspaper's social media posts. Suggestions welcome.
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
Craig of Craigslist fame is widely blamed for decline of newspapers. The argument (which I also believed) goes: Craig killed classified ads that paid for news. Therefore, Craig killed newspapers, journalism, civilization.
Craig, though, cites this pretty persuasive study showing three different ways that larger trends steadily drove the decline, before & after Craigslist & the Internet came along.
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
Politics & social media as usual is doing little more than rearranging the "deck chairs" on the "Titanic".
Evidence-based change is the right solution. As an environmental #scientist, I'm impressed with Bylines Times' editorial standards, politics & economics on matters related to #ClimateChange
My daughter alerted me to yet another local nonprofit news organization, this one around Olympia Washington.
I have been heartened in recent years by the proliferation of non-commercial local news operations after two decades of watching the #newspaper industry collapse on itself.
"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...
Somehow I missed this story. It’s not just our local independent #newspaper that’s shut down.
The company that owns #Metroland is pulling the plug on all of its #Ontario community newspapers, though it will maintain some coverage online. Local #journalism takes another hit. #news
"Marion Police Chief Gideon Cody enlisted the support of local & state law enforcement officials in the days before he led raids on the local #newspaper office, the publisher’s home & the home of a city councilwoman.
