From Michelle Pitcher: These brave former students of an allegedly abusive #theater teacher are suing to bring the harm she caused to light. This sensitive story gives these young adults a vital platform to speak out: https://www.texasobserver.org/austin-theater-school-lawsuit/
Is there a good tag or tags I can follow for getting a decent feed of important and new news, or possibly one or two accounts I can follow to see stuff like that show up in 1 column?
Along the lines of 'if it shows up here then it must be pretty important and I might want to pause and take at least a quick look'?
@DarkInsanities I've wanted something like this since I came here. I follow some big news sources like bbc or nyt on bird thing, but I'm tired of digging through a lot of stuff to find real news. #mastodonnews#newstodon#fediverse
I don't see too many people using the hashtag #LocalNews. It's mainly, uh, me. I think I'll stop. Is there a widely used hashtag for posts about developments in local news? Maybe just #journalism?

@ZhiZhu Shouldn't there be a criterion when choosing these accounts? right-left, progressive-conservative, or classical journalism? or is it random? Personally, I want to follow all the colors of the world, but basically I want to get accurate news. I'd like to say "critical" too, but in news media labeled as critical sometimes that's more vulgar criticism than news. I'm asking because it's hard to check all of them one by one, you don't need to answer :) #newsmedia#newstodon
I just retooted my previous boost about @texasobserver.social and their fundraiser, and they're almost halfway to goal! So if you're able, now's a great time to get on this.
Sustaining something is harder than saving it, so now is the time to step up. #news#newstodon#newsbians
