There’s a new playbook being written right now when it comes to the future of social media. The early-mover advantage is still in effect, and there’s a lot to figure out. Gone are opaque algorithms and the whims of any single company.
The fediverse represents a chance for quality journalism to shine again.
We talked to two leaders at fedi-forward publications — @TheConversationUS's @BostonAbrams, and @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler — about why they’re investing in the open social web, what they’ve learned so far, and their advice for other publishers just getting started.
We'd love to get the #NewstodonFriday hashtag going again. This, as far as we can remember, was started by @gbhnews, and is an initiative to feature work from newsrooms that have an active presence in the #fediverse
If you're a news organization, share your handle and your favorite story of the week in the comments to this! And if there's a publication in the fediverse that you love, let us know about that in the comments too.

I have questions: 1) What does Item 1 look like? For example, we could change the tax code to more strongly benefit nonprofits and the donors/subscribers who support them, but what else? 2) Who would do the ratings, and what are the odds that if it's, say, academics, that MAGAts would take the ratings seriously? 3) Re Item 4, when you say that politicians should "phase out" Agenda journalism, do you mean no longer talk to those outlets, or what? Thanks! @BostonAbrams@404mediaco
