1/ Announcement: So today being a news day I might as well announce that the team at TheCanadian.Social has officially taken ownership of https://journa.host and https://newsie.social. We have also moved these instances to our facilities in Canada. These are two important instances hosting a large portion of the fediverse's journalism accounts. We felt it important to keep them going as the previous stewards were considering shutting them down. #fediverse #fediadmin #journalists

Why would #elonmusk ban #journalists accounts just to walk back the #ban in under 24 hours?
To setup the #cancelculture wars, lead by House Republicans, in 2023. #republicans will continue the #trump attacks on the FBI and News media in an attempt to drive traffic to #twitter where the #magavirus will continue to infect our children and Democracy around the #world

“Labour Spied On Journalists, Including Me”
by Kit Klarenberg in Global Delinquents on Substack
@uk_politics
@UKLabour
“An extraordinary political scandal has erupted in Britain, raising the prospect Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s already embattled government could tumble. On February 5th, it was revealed Labour Together, a dubious ‘think tank’ intimately intertwined with the Labour party, paid shady PR firm APCO Worldwide tens of thousands of pounds to spy on journalists”

Do yourselves a favor a read this 🔥 thread on #Twitter and how some yt #journalists not only don’t understand that Elon is purposely burning it down (& the geopolitical intent, fallout), they’re not even grasping how #BlackTwitter made (some of) their careers possible.
Whew!!

And there’s audio proof in case they try to lie about later. #RIPTwitter
#Journalism May Be Too Slow To Remain Credible Once Events Are Filtered Through Social Media
" #Socialmedia collapses te distance btw event, exposure & interpretation. Claims circulate b4 #journalists can evaluate them.. forces journalism into a reactive posture.. accurate reports often arrive aft te audience has already formed a first impression.. Audiences encounter raw claims first & journalism second. When te two diverge, journalism appears disconnected fr reality"🤔

A growing list of #academics, #scientists, #activists, #journalists, #thinktanks, #NGOs, etc. in the #climatechange space are busy trying to somehow add the patina of #solar #batteries to the absurd explosion of #datacenters (#Alphabet #Amazon #Meta - 100s of billions of $ in 2026 alone). In a decent world, all of them (and those $) would be going toward scaling up clean as rapidly and as equitably as possible. Why have those good people decided to side w/ evil?
Controversial #WaPo publisher Will Lewis - brought in by owner Jeff Bezos in 2024 to increase profitability - abruptly resigns amid criticism of staff cuts, days after the newspaper laid off nearly ⅓ of the staff, including more than 300 #journalists.

What #investigative #journalists are currently digging through all the new Epstein files?
#Pressfreedom groups condemned the arrests of #journalists #DonLemon and #GeorgiaFort, who were detained while covering an #antiICEprotest in #Minnesota. The arrests are seen as an attack on the First Amendment and a chilling attempt to silence the press. The groups called for the immediate release of the journalists and the dropping of all charges. https://www.theguardian.com/law/2026/jan/30/press-freedom-journalist-arrests-ice-don-lemon?eicker.news #tech #media #news

To #journalists, #bloggers, and #newspapers, @patrickmcurry made some great tools for embedding #Mastodon quotes in articles and websites. https://patrickcurry.com/socials/mastodon/tools/
There are other such tools I’ve seen too. I can’t wait to see more Mastodon posts being quoted in blog posts and #news articles.
Teaching #journalism the #Russian way: How #RT Academy spreads #propaganda
#Russia scaling up 'educational’ programs for #journalists in Southeast #Asia, #Africa, #China, and #India, pushing a #pro-Kremlin agenda and propaganda under the guise of an “alternative narrative” and a "fight against #fakes."
