I like real news, thatâs true!
And I can do it on a blog.
Or I can do it in a vlog.
And I can do it in a zine,
Or on TikTokâshort, sharp, and keen.
And I can do it in a pod, with questions asked that press and prod.
Yes, I can do it here or there.
I can do journalism anywhere!

Journalism is going to fail into irrelevance by the professional culture of having to treat this as anything other than the fascist-enabling project it is:

Creators are helping to reach important audiences with journalism, often outstanding, innovative journalism.
They are helping to inform people legacy media isn't reaching. We need to enable, fund, and include these people in the ecosystem of trustworthy sources.

The answer to the question, "Are people performing acts of journalism 'journalists' ?" is always YES.

So much criticism of journalism isn't very useful to make it better for the future.
However, this conversation contains a lot of just that: useful, insightful, and actionable criticism.

Large Language Models made not be great at facts, but they're becoming impressively good at editing â and that speaks to their potential value both in journalism and in new news products. My (now-regular) blog for the Tow-Knight Center at CUNY.

âItâs easier⊠to placate the bear rather than poking it. We know this is happening not only in journalism but in other fields. We just donât know how much. No one puts out news releases saying theyâve squelched information the administration wouldnât like.â

Spot on thread. This is more important now that journalism is consumed mostly alongside other content, just a scroll away.
Evil Orc Heart@evanurquhart.bsky.social
Also a reason why some audiences are deciding they don't need journalism, or that ideologically-aligned content is all the journalism they need. People are forgetting what journalism is for two reasons: 1/3

Imagine, for example, trying to raise revenue through membership. People are keen to join, but they are frightened that the government will find out that they are supporting independent journalism. Or worrying about sponsored content produced for NGOs, because they have links to the govt.

At the IPI conference in Vienna and surprised at the degree of wishful thinking and nostalgia about the continuing decline in media freedom at least from some mainstream editorial leaders : 'journalism is a public good, we just need to convince the public' seems to be the gist of it #IPIWoCo25

Wild to see how some of the most prestigious journalism brands are being destroyed at such a rapid pace.
I think this brings us closer to a future where all content we see is some kind of marketing (for a party, a company, a 'cause').
Support independent journalists.

The EBU just published a new report on how well consumer AI chatbots function as gateways to news by public service media â an interesting piece, but with some big problems in my view that make me question its usefulness.

Pretty stunning drop in views after @davejorgenson.bsky.social left the Washington Post to join independent journalism in the creator economy.
The future of independent, audience centric journalism is being built, brick by brick. This is a big one.

The increasingly unpopular and desparate Hungarian government is identifying fake enemies before the upcoming elections. Again, OCCRP is being attacked to deflect people away from the excellent journalism done by local menber centers like Atlatszo and Direkt36. www.occrp.org/en/announcem...
