👏From Kyrgyzstan to South Africa, from Hungary to Guatemala, I've been exploring how #localnews is empowering citizens to exercise their rights and fight disinformation in their communities. 🙌Amazing media we can all learn from. Thread 👇

@vten24836162 @ChrisMinnsMP Such a disgusting thing for en elected official to do with public money that wasn't his The arrogance of him, the gall that he thought he answered to a foreign nation instead of the people of NSW He should be hounded out of office

@antoinette_news David Rowe once again doing what he does so superlatively well - nailing politicians to the mast: x.com/roweafr/status…

Academic journals might be a lost cause but they'd probably be better if you had some non-academic practitioners serving as reviewers. Journalists have their problems too but they have much better bullshit detectors, for instance.

@LaurieOakes Absolutely

The ABC has shoved Laura Tingle so far from the centre of its election panel that she is almost out of sight in the wings. Stupidity!

Update as of the morning of March 6: four people are reported killed by Russia's attack on Kryvyi Rih, and over 30 have been injured. Just before the strike, Ukrainian, American, and British volunteers from a humanitarian organisation checked into that hotel. They survived by managing to escape in time.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

I served as US Ambassador in Hungary during Viktor Orbán’s crackdown on freedom of the press. But the independence of the Hungarian press was only truly extinguished when news outlets began “self-censorship” to avoid political reprisal. Democracy dies in darkness.

Jewish Currents condemns Israel’s targeting of Palestinian journalists in the strongest terms, and calls upon every media institution in the United States to do the same. Here's our statement on the recent Israeli threats against six Al Jazeera journalists reporting from Gaza.

🚨 The Committee to Protect Journalists is aware of accusations made by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) against several journalists in Gaza accusing them of being members of militant groups. Israel has repeatedly made similar unproven claims without producing credible evidence. After killing Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail Al Ghoul in July, the IDF previously produced a similar document, which contained contradictory information, showing that Al Ghoul, born in 1997, received a Hamas military ranking in 2007 – when he would have been 10 years old.

NEWS The editor of the Los Angeles Times editorial page has resigned after the owner blocked the editorial board from moving forward with an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. “I am resigning because I want to make it clear that I am not okay with us being silent. In dangerous times, honest people need to stand up. This is how I’m standing up.” @sewellchan reports Full Story: bit.ly/3BTyDDB

BEIRUT: Israel has bombed one of main water channels from Litani River. Thousands hectares now without irrigation. Will cause huge food shortages. On top of heavy shelling & “widespread” (HRW) use of chemical weapons by Israel (white phosphorus) on sth Lebanon this is devastating

As we speak, write, tweet, sob: Israeli forces are committing another massacre in northern Gaza. People in Jabalyia are killed - both in groups, and one by one - amid unspeakable cruelty and sadism. By Israelis who have accepted to be "willing executioners" of a genocidal plan. With western-manifactured weapons and with western support. It blows my mind to think that WE KNOW what Israel is doing and alltogether, we cannot stop it. Looking at where we were 100 years ago, no much progress has been achieved.

Very bloody night in north Gaza , I made it but hundreds didn’t

"‘The fear is unspeakable’: airstrikes on northern Gaza leave hundreds of thousands with nowhere to go. Roughly 400,000 people" are trapped in Israel's latest offensive "with most of territory under evacuation orders," but where is it safe for them to go? theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

65 doctors, nurses, and paramedics told the New York Times what they saw in Gaza. What they saw was a pattern of children being shot in the head.
