At a time when billionaires and oligarchs own the majority of our press, when local journalism is in decline, and social media is rife with misinformation and abuse, there has never been a greater need for citizen journalism

Hi. Thank you for replying. I will tag the new EiC in this so she can see what has happened. Certainly to my knowledge though no pitch was submitted to her yesterday which i think from reading the thread is when you say it was declined? @gemmagould.bsky.social

Hi Sarah
I’m not sure what the writer is referring to here but certainly no article submission has been declined that pertains to fraud as you have described. Nor does any writer speak on behalf of the EiC. If you’d like to contact the new editor you can email her: [email protected]

The story of Europe’s economic decline while US is 'soaring' is everywhere.

But it is wrong. It is a myth.

Europe delivers more leisure, longer life expectancy, less inequality than the US.

Gabriel Zucman dismantles the myths.

Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe
There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true
