Just saw the remains of 20-year-old Palestinian journalist Hassan Hamad reduced to a plastic bag and a shoebox. According to a fresh tally from CPJ, 123 journalists have now been killed in Israeli strikes. If you're a journalist and you're not speaking out in solidarity ... why?

Anyone who has ever heard a newborn baby struggling to breath with whooping cough never forgets it. NSW & SA both battling serious outbreaks amidst health systems under severe stress. It's airborne & people can be infectious for 3 weeks. Clean indoor air, wear N95, get vaccinated

Hello media organisations in Australia and around the world! After spending almost three meaningful years @abcnews, I am back in the job market and looking for ongoing/contract/casual/freelancing gigs. By hiring/commissioning me, you will get:

"CPJ is dismayed by the news that Al Jazeera TV reporter Ismail Al Ghoul and cameraman Ramy Al Refee were killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza. Journalists are civilians and should never be targeted. Israel must explain why two more Al Jazeera journalists have been killed in what appears to be a direct strike," says CPJ CEO @jodieginsberg.

Thanks for such a vital story on retailers selling weeds that invade, @elsekennedy. Bunnings sells many invasives in Nth Qld, eg devils ivy & mother in laws tongue. People presume if Bunnings sell it, must be OK to plant. Laws needed, @ISCAustralia! abc.net.au/news/rural/202…

Sometimes I’m frustrated by the gap — in which conspiracies thrive — between how people think journalism works and the reality on the ground. And then you read something like this and it’s a reminder that actually sometimes it really is that bad theguardian.com/australia-news…

@karinstark79 Sorry for your loss Karin

Tragically my partner Jon was killed in an accident on our farm 2 weeks ago.  I couldn’t call the ambulance 50m from my house due to poor ph reception. This needs to change. The Renewables in Ag Conference, 4 July in Toowoomba will go ahead with help from those around me.

Jüdische Allgemeine, biggest Jewish newspaper in Germany: "The civilians in Gaza are not innocent: If there is such a thing as collective responsibility for crimes, then this applies in the case of October 7th."

There's obviously something huge going on in journalism: massive conflict within newsrooms across the country, public perception of journalists being bias seems at an all-time high and trust in mainstream media seems at an all-time low…

#MEAAmedia members at the ABC today called on managing director David Anderson to urgently meet with staff and address growing concerns about outside interference, culturally unsafe management practices and to stand up for journalism without fear or favour. #PressFreedom #NoFearNoFavour

The other day I explained to two colleagues in their 20s how mixed tapes were recorded on cassette and I’ve never felt so old
