European editors on how the news out of America drives coverage at home, by @essebbi.bsky.social. www.cjr.org/analysis/tru...

In 'unprecedented move', NYT, NPR, NBC News and Politico are being ejected from their dedicated Pentagon office space to make room for outlets including right-wing Breitbart News and One America News. 'Clearly not in the public interest,' says NYT spokesman. Indeed. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/b...

Gazing in awe at hominid skulls outside NHM Human Evolution exhibit (www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/the...) today when young man comes up. After a quick glance, he assures companion it's only a THEORY of evolution because 'they can't prove it'. Hahaha! Dude, you are literally standing in front of the proof.

Great insights into impact of AI on journalism tonight from Bloomberg News EiC John Micklethwait @cityjournalism.bsky.social Cameron lecture. Among them: World of search will give way to Q&A. Breaking news will still have enormous value, but for smaller amounts of time. And regulation is coming.

Addressing challenges to journalism -- including changes in use, as well as declines in interest and trust -- requires a healthy relationship with the public, @richardfletcher.bsky.social. It's still early days, but AI may actually be able to help. reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/how-ai-...

'There is a realistic possibility of the UK’s news environment fracturing irreparably along social, regional and economic lines within the next five to ten years': House of Lords committee's newly released report on future of news in Britain is not cheery reading. pressgazette.co.uk/media_law/fu...

Huge congratulations to the Foreign Press Association's New Journalist of the Year: an Afghan reporter whose work is so dangerous that she can't be named. Writing primarily about plight of women under Taliban rule. she works anonymously and rarely meets sources in public. www.cjr.org/world/afghan...

Excellent piece on Alsu Kurmasheva, the journalist with RFE/RL who helped colleagues caught in Russian web. Then they came for her, with the tactics she knew so well: surprise, frighten, isolate, intimidate. Now free, she has her voice back, and she's using it. www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/...

... While elsewhere on your site, and also posted today, we find another article headlined 'How Bluesky, Alternative to X and Facebook, Is Handling Explosive Growth'. Maybe a right hand / left hand awareness thing? www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/t...

Hey, @nytimes.com. Waving from place where sky is blue. I appreciate that the platform is mentioned in paragraph 22 (of 26) under headline 'Liberals Are Left Out in the Cold as Social Media Veers Right' (with paragraphs 23 and 24 devoted to an AOC quote), but still... www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/t...

Oops, now on hold while bankruptcy judge reviews Onion’s bid. Fingers crossed …

Truly the Onion taking over the Infowars site in order to turn it into a parody of itself is just too delicious. Love the Onion CEO's plan: 'This is going to be our answer to this no-guardrails world where there are no gatekeepers and everything’s kind of insane'. www.niemanlab.org/2024/11/the-...

Is Trump 'just bloviating' when he puts journalism in vitriolic crosshairs or does he mean to take action? Observers say the First Amendment may be put to the test but is likely to continue to protect US journalists. Their sources, however, may be more vulnerable. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Hi, Jeremy, and thanks for doing this. Great community! Just joined Bluesky yesterday and yes, feel free to add me if there’s space.

'It all depends what you mean by close': Yes, most election results were within margin of error, but it's hard not to conclude that pollsters got it broadly wrong. Why? Adjustments for a fragmented media environment help, but there also are new ways to miss the mark. www.poynter.org/commentary/2...
