I love my black job 🖤

WOW. The California Senate just voted to approved, by 2/3 vote, SB1327, Sen. Glazers bill to provide $500 million for local news, paid for by a tax on the big tech companies. Huge breakthrough.

Good question..."Why Will It Take 2 Years to Make ‘Bridgerton’ Season 4?" I will read the books. Save the time and elaborate amounts of money. thedailybeast.com/obsessed/why-w… via @thedailybeast

According to new @pewresearch data, X leads in news consumption: 50% of users get news there, outpacing TikTok (40%), Facebook (37%), and Instagram (30%). X is the only platform on which a majority of users say that getting news is a reason they use it. pewresearch.org/journalism/202…

Congrats to Connecticut, RLN team member Lori Henson, and the local news movement!

A well resourced BIPOC journalism ecosystem is a journalism issue, sure. But it’s also a civic participation issue, an economic justice issue, a public health issue, a culture issue, a narrative infrastructure issue. And the list goes on because those things impact so much more.

.@SRuhle sits down with @stevenwaldman to talk about the danger & consequences of news deserts and the need to support local news.

Time to move past the dividing lines of "legacy" local news vs. "new" -- & "commercial" vs. "non-profit". The real split is between community-based media that is mission driven & news driven too much by hedge funds, stock price or debt repayment needs. editorandpublisher.com/stories/in-def…
