@ProPublica Weaponizing "forgiveness" to silence victims is a classic mechanism of institutional abuse cover-ups. ProPublica's investigation exposes how closed religious leadership protects predators by framing silence as a spiritual duty. True accountability requires law enforcement intervention, not forced reconciliation. #Accountability #Journalism

A fascinating article about how a group of journalists working for the Hungary state news agency quietly documented all the ways the news was manipulated under the Orbán regime. They have now released a detailed report.

Among many things, this is a terrific example of resistance during the rule of authoritarian regimes. Document, document, document the abuses because one day the sun will shine and the truth can be revealed.

HotType by Jeff Jarvis Is Out August 20th!

The book HotType by Jeff Jarvis is out on the 20th of August and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

I’m a big fan of Jeff’s books and have read, I think, all of them.

I first heard of Jeff when he joined the TWiT network to be on the This Week In Google podcast (now Intelligent Machines).

The guy is so smart and a prolific writer. His blog, BuzzMachine, is also a great read!

Jeff a seasoned journalist and college educator. If you get a chance to pre-order the book HotType, you should. Find out more at JeffJarvis.com.

Not to mention this issue goes to the core of a fascist white suprematist regime likely at some point to return to threatening this country.

The rise of prediction markets is creating new ethical headaches for journalists https://www.poynter.org/ethics-trust/2026/prediction-markets-journalism-ethics-polymarket-kalshi/

Reiss and his colleagues at the Media and Democracy Project have proposed six specific restrictions on coverage of prediction markets they think newsrooms should adopt, ranging from not allowing journalists to bet on prediction markets to avoiding mentioning specific odds in stories.

Gambling as Journalism—Shall We Gamify the News?

It is particularly grotesque when the betting is on matters of life and death, but any use of these markets central to reporting damages the news outlet. Disturbing to see #WSJ, #CNN and others using them.

“The more that marginalized voices disappear from legacy outlets, the more it matters to fight for our corner instead of abandoning it. It matters to have places in journalism, in media, where we belong and where we can see ourselves.”

To kick off my work as newsletter writer and contributor for the Barbed Wire, I wrote a VERY personal essay about what it means to be a #transgender journalist in #Texas. I dug way back for this one, since it starts when I was 13 years old ... I hope you see something of yourself in this one, too: https://thebarbedwire.com/2025/11/25/transgender-journalist-living-in-texas/

Just watched @mariaressa.bsky.social’s powerful speech on how decentralization of information is essential to preserving democracy and the rule of law. 💡

This is a must-watch for anyone who cares about the future of journalism, free speech, and digital rights:
🎥 Maria Ressa at WJF2025 https://youtu.be/3cqQn4d79KE

What stood out to me: Centralized platforms are inherently at odds with democratic values. While Bluesky is a step up from Twitter, the real heroes are those already in the #Fediverse—you’re building the future we need! 👏

Maria’s argument that decentralized, open systems are the only way to safeguard truth feels more urgent than ever. If the internet is controlled by a few corporations, how can we trust the information shaping our democracies?

The #Fediverse—of which #Mastodon is a part—is fully free and open-source, as beautifully explained by @_elena in this video:
🎥 About the Fediverse: https://youtu.be/YRJHIJy5Nno

To those already here: THANK YOU for being part of this movement! 🙌 Now, let’s spread the word—invite others to join the Fediverse. Here are some instances to share:
🔗 https://hear-me.social/invites
🔗 https://mastodon.social/invites
🔗 https://mstdn.social/invites
🔗 https://mastodon.cloud/invites
🔗 https://mas.to/invites
🔗 https:// (your feddi home) /invites

Remember: Anyone can host their own server—that’s the power of decentralization! It’s resistant to censorship in ways even Bluesky can’t match.

For a deeper dive into how decentralization fights censorship, read Cory Doctorow’s excellent piece:
📖 “Too Many Throats to Choke” https://pluralistic.net/2025/09/16/too-many-throats-to-choke/ by @pluralistic

Maria Ressa’s fight against Duterte’s regime shows change is possible. Her appearance on The Daily Show connects the dots between platform monopolies, misinformation, and democracy’s erosion—and offers hope:
🎥 Maria on The Daily Show https://youtu.be/Tsb1I7hqaJ4

To those already in the Fediverse: You’re the backbone of a free and open internet. What’s one step you’re taking to grow this community? (For me, Using Mastodon nearly dally and it’s sharing technical knowledge with those who need it.)

Let’s keep building a web that’s ours—one that resists tyranny and protects democracy. 💪

Senior Israel Hayom editor celebrates report of 100,000 Gaza deaths

Eli Barak, a senior editor at Israel Hayom (owned by Miriam Adelson) newspaper, responded “Thank you for the good news” to a #Haaretz report estimating 100,000 deaths in #Gaza. When questioned, Barak compared Palestinians in Gaza to Germans in WWII, saying he would have been happy about high mortality in German cities in 1943. The journalist describes himself as head of the news desk at Israel Hayom and deputy editor of Israel Hashavua supplement. Israel Hayom declined to condemn the statement, calling it a “private statement on social media.”

I need a solid, safe, home I can go to and recover to at least a stable baseline. It’s not full recovery, but it’s better than a slow death.

Now things are worse, I’m much sicker, being neglected and will die without a safe stable #home. Doctor’s words.

If not mentioned in the article, my father is a diagnosed #narcissist with #psychopathic & #antisocial tendencies by a #psychiatrist. He urged me get away from my father asap because he is not a ‘safe person’ & neither are the other family members who lured me back through the promise of help.They didn’t help they made me progressively worse to the point of almost incapacitation at stage of #illness.

👉A year later:

I’ve tried every level of government, every service and they simply won’t help.

355 small and mid-sized towns in the US now have AI-generated newsletter sites that appear to local. They make money by summarizing local news and adding ads.

Here’s the story of how investigating one such site led to discovering a whole network of doppelgängers with questionable practices.

@Strandjunker

A classic and a fact to remember.

Main stream media in the US however seems to have forgotten… or maybe they are just a bunch of cowards and opportunists. At least that is how I see it.

For the occasion, we now publish online this retrospective photo essay of the work of longtime Observer contributor Alan Pogue:

We've been publishing stories all year related to our 70th anniversary, but today marks the actual date that the Texas Observer published its first issue in 1954, with the top story dedicated to a retail workers' #strike in Port Arthur: https://archives.texasobserver.org/issue/1954/12/13#page=1

Fair warning:

if you push any kind of apologies for news media either mainstream or self-appointed as "independent", you're catching a mute or worse.

I've lived my entire life in #Argentina and was forced to watch them carry water for a military dictatorship and three neoliberal/conservative/borderline-fascist governments.

And spread misinformation because they couldn't be bothered to do better and after all it's just entertainment.

And run DISinformation campaigns for various special interests.

I learned to hate their unprofessional attitude, their self-congratulation and their whining against "censorship" long before I came of age.

So if you want to suck up to #Propaganda and #PsychologicalWarfare operators we're just not friends. Go vote for a nice Führer or something.

(If you want to teach me about the exceptions, DON'T. I know them. They're mostly dead: doing the right thing is lethally dangerous.)

Reposting my #introduction, since I'm seeing a lot of fresh faces recently. I'm an associate professor at UMass Amherst, where I teach about #journalism and #MediaIndustries. My research focuses on media distribution and, occasionally, dysfunction in the adtech industry.

I also co-edit a book series on the civic impacts of media distribution for The MIT Press. Feel free to hit me up if you're working on a relevant project!

I have just found out that the Rory Peck Crisis Fund, which supports freelance journalists in danger, has run out of money after a year of helping #Gaza journalists.

I have donated. Please consider doing so as well.

Rory Peck has helped Arab journalists I know in the past and its work really does make a difference in the precarious lives of freelancers in conflict zones.

Just... kinda wild to see my face on the homepage of the Columbia Journalism Review. Talk about an honor. https://www.cjr.org/the_profile/kit-oconnell-austin-movement-journalism.php

“You end up in situations like, 'Can I as a #nonbinary trans person report on the laws that are trying to make my existence illegal?' Is that bias? Well, it is. I’m biased against those laws.“

In a story out today for the Columbia Journalism Review, I talk about what it means to be open about my beliefs and bias as journalist, and how I use that in my work to report on the #trans community and other underserved communities in #Texas. https://www.cjr.org/the_profile/kit-oconnell-austin-movement-journalism.php

I'm thrilled to finally share this story!

“I am part of the queer community and the queer rights movement. I am an anti-fascist; I’m not neutral about fascism. I’m not neutral about genocide. I’m not neutral about the environment, and many other topics.”

I'm so excited to share this: a profile of my career is out today in the Columbia Journalism Review! I've been waiting to share this for months, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. https://www.cjr.org/the_profile/kit-oconnell-austin-movement-journalism.php

This thread from Twitter prompted this rant (very long... sorry) on a potential solution for media in terms of how they are funded. The pay-per-article model, despite being tested over the past decade, has not taken off. I'll give my view on why that is later in this thread, but new models of journalism and new social media technologies can provide hope.

This is probably the best piece I've ever read on how journalists have reported on long covid, and how their reports has affected the lives of people living with long covid.

Don't pass this piece up.

' We [journalists] are not neutral actors, reporting on the world at a remove; we also create that world through our choices, and we must do so with purpose, care and compassion. '

Hi liebes Fediverse 👋

wir sind jetzt endlich auch hier! Wir sind BR Data, wir machen Datenjournalismus beim Bayerischen Rundfunk. Unsere Recherchen sind daten- und dokumentengetrieben und meist investigativ.

Wir werden unsere Recherchen ab jetzt auch hier posten.

Wir arbeiten eng mit dem @br_ailab zusammen. Im Sommer haben wir gemeinsam ein Whitepaper dazu veröffentlicht, wie wir über KI und Algorithmen berichten: https://medium.com/br-next/blackbox-reporting-wie-journalist-innen-%C3%BCber-ki-und-algorithmen-berichten-k%C3%B6nnen-3983cd0bcf3c

#introduction

I fight for the users.

I love programming and thinking and talking about thinking. I have an education (BS, MS, PhD) focused on artificial intelligence and neuroscience.

I'm an advocate of the public academic pursuit of knowledge, the scientific process, peer review, and I see open source software and hardware as an essential part of the scientific process.

I see software user rights, including security and privacy, to be protected mainly by free open source software, specifically software with a copyleft license, i.e. GPL or Mozilla.

I see the democratizing effects of the Internet, including distributed journalism and social networking, to be largely the effect of the collaborative development of free and open source software.

I am interested in free and open source manufacturing, including open source 3D printers and CNC machines. I believe open source manufacturing will be important for distributed manufacturing, allowing local manufacturing and local labor.

I see worker-owned coops as the way to safely transition from a non-democratic authoritarian top-down power structure of a traditional corporation to a democratic work environment, where the workers own the company and elect the board of directors, transitioning to democracy in the workplace.

I believe that socialism is a regulatory response to capitalism.

I believe that laws, money, corporations, and government are social agreements, and I'm in favor of democratic social agreements.

I believe in the organized non-violent boycott as a way to control capitalists and change corrupt systems.

I am a pacifist. I am against violence. I am against citizens keeping guns in cities and towns with children. I am against war.

I try to eat plant-based / vegan foods to boycott the animal industry, to help with the climate crisis, to improve my health, to avoid animal cruelty, and to avoid the extinction of species of plants, animals and ecosystems.

I have been diagnosed with Retinitus Pigmentosa, which is a disease of progressive retinal degeneration. I am legally blind, although I have about 5-degrees of vision remaining in my fovea. I'm interested in researching and developing BCIs (Brain-Computer Interfaces), specifically BCIs that function as vision prostheses that may help with conditions like RP, or the more common degenerative retinal disease AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration).

I enjoy playing computer games like Age of Empires and Rimworld. I used to program computer games when I was younger and would like to get back to it one day.

I love playing music, especially bass guitar. I've been listening to a lot of Rage Against the Machine and Enya recently.

I enjoy reading books, mostly non-fiction.

I enjoy studying religions. I've found a lot of value in Buddhism, and I meditate often daily.

Nina and I have recently had our first baby, a boy we call Tyoma.

I'm currently working at Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc. on FOSH assistive consumer electronics.

I'm sober.

I'm rarely proud of my own writing; this piece is an exception. I'm proud of this one. It''s a topic I'd wanted to write about for a long time and it rested on a partnership with an incarcerated author, David Annarelli. I couldn't have written it without him. This is part of a series, one of which will be by him.

Please share; I'd like to get this one out in the world, along with its siblings.

#introduction

Here's an ancient video I made about #Reddit in the r/politics forum announcing a publisher blacklist back in 2013.

Back then, they blocked almost two hundred news sites because of what they called "bad journalism". Whereupon they banned sites that had just won the Polk Award. And another that had just won a Pulitzer.

But of course, untrained mods know better than professionals working the field. (assholes)

The kind of #journalism Second Wave and #journalists such as I put out felt a bit pointless to promote on Twitter. We're not looking to start arguments or conflict to cause that good ol' social media type engagement (sides raging in the comments unknowingly generating clicks). We're covering ideas, people, happenings, all trying to improve our area, from #kalamazoo to #michigan . Below, the stories I've covered.

Just one small ask: we at @thexylom made the difficult decision to leave the bird app, during the height of #NewsMatch season. We know that our reach will suffer but we never regretted doing the right thing. Would you consider supporting our work by becoming a member?

I'm Michele Ann Jenkins aka Maj.
I was federated before it was cool and have just been biding my time on FB and Reddit until a critical mass happened somewhere better and now here we are!
