I FULLY support diversity in newsrooms. Good. Make them pay. More voices leads to better journalism. We all learn from each other.
Texas A&M University has reached a $1 million settlement Thursday with a Black journalism professor whose hiring was sabotaged by backlash her past work promoting diversity.
Evan Gershkovich, who works for The Wall Street Journal, knew the risks of reporting in Russia but felt a deep connection to the country, his friends said.
There were nearly as many journalists killed in Mexico alone as there were in Ukraine.
So much for freedom of speech 🤦♀️
Elon Musk faced a growing backlash on Friday from lawmakers on both sides of the Atlantic, with threats of fines and sanctions, after Twitter suspended the accounts of at least eight journalists on Thursday without warning.
The suspended accounts included those belonging to Ryan Mac of The New York Times, Donie O’Sullivan of CNN and Drew Harwell of The Washington Post. It was unclear what the suspensions had in common.
The silencing of prominent voices could raise the regulatory heat on Twitter, and possibly Mr. Musk’s other companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, which is a big recipient of government funding and projects. It could also hurt his push to get reluctant advertisers back onto the platform.
The action set off a wave of protests. News organizations, including The Times and CNN, have demanded that Mr. Musk explain his rationale. Supporters of the journalists argued on Twitter that the move was overly punitive.
Lawmakers in the European Union may go on the offensive. Vera Jourova, a vice president of the European Commission, said the move violated the E.U.’s Digital Services Act and its Media Freedom Act.
“There are red lines. And sanctions, soon,” she tweeted Friday morning.
The recently ratified Digital Services Act serves as a kind of rule book on moderating content for firms operating in the bloc. It goes into effect next year, and carries a fine of 6 percent of global revenue for companies that run afoul of the rules.
Representative Lori Trahan, Democrat of Massachusetts and a member of the House committee on electronic communications and the internet, also expressed dismay over Twitter’s move. She tweeted on Thursday that she had received assurances this week from the company that it had no intention of retaliating against journalists or independent researchers who cover Mr. Musk and Twitter critically.
“Less than 12 hours later, multiple technology reporters have been suspended. What’s the deal, ?” she wrote.
Are you so committed to your profession that you'd take the risk of going to jail even though you've broken no laws?
Authoritarian regimes are silencing independent journalism around the globe, often by rewriting laws to criminalize reporting
Just a journalist doing his job. Telling the truth. So glad he got out.
His release was secured by former U.S. diplomat Bill Richardson after almost six months of detention.
So this happened.
Crain Communications has acquired Green Market Report, a digital media brand that covers financial news of the rapidly growing cannabis industry.
simply reporting on the weather. I'm so glad they are going hard on this ridiculous person. Altho, maybe IDA was fake news and the libtards trucked in all that water and actually tore all those roofs off!
Benjamin Eugene Dagley interrupted an NBC reporter covering Hurricane Ida, the police said.
I was so bummed to miss the 2020 SXSW due to COVID. Hopefully, our panel will get voted in and I can make plans for 2022. Please vote!
While many cannabis activists are hoping for the product to be federally legal, the outcome could end up being the opposite of what they envision. If cannabis is legalized, consumers could end up buying pre-rolled joints at their local Circle K or 7-11. Even Wal-Mart could end up selling cannabis be...
Just trying to do their jobs.
Gunfire, muggings and assaults have prompted TV stations to take up new safety measures: “There’s a lot of anger out there.”
I know a lot of people think reporters are awful. We're fake news. But we work hard at a job that doesn't pay well because we love it. We put ourselves out there in public every day, something few jobs do. This weekend, I managed to get a soundbite from Senator Schumer at the cannabis parade. This was a big deal because my company is a small co and not a mainstream big-time media co. I was feeling pretty proud of myself. Then, I see later that day a cannabis CEO insulting me on Twitter and industry people liking and retweeting his insult. In his opinion, I can't read or write because GMR wrote something about his company. No opinion, just literally stating something that was in the company's OWN filings. TBH it stung. It took away my moment of happiness for a few hours. It's hard when someone with 10k followers insults you. Then I decided who was this ja****le? Why allow him to bring me down? At that point, I moved on. I noted who liked what he said and will remember them. Don't let the turkeys get you down! Stay strong fellow journalists. Focus on the wins.
Unfortunately for this journalist her career is tainted as she admits writing a false story. I guess since she quit she found her moral compass? As a reporter your reputation is built on the truths you tell.
The front-page article in the Murdoch tabloid claimed that copies of a children’s book by the vice president were given to migrant children as part of a “welcome kit.”
Gov. Tim Walz said he had told police officers to “make changes” that would allow reporters to do their jobs.

Carlos Martínez de la Serna, program director for the Committee to Protect Journalists, said Sahouri’s case exemplified police mistreatment of American journalists. “It is ironic,” he said. “She was covering opposition against police brutality and she was subject to this type of harassment on the spot.”
Des Moines Register reporter Andrea Sahouri faces 30 days in jail -- a rare case of a U.S. journalist charged with a crime while reporting.
I hope this is a sign of good things for 2021. Thanks Leafbuyer

I will be speaking about Investing in Cannabis Stocks on Wednesday from 11:45-12:25 PST. This is an introductory presentation and will be more of an educational experience versus talking about stock picking. There are no dumb questions!
Really great thought piece on the words we use. When you write thousands of words a day, every day, you do fall back on certain phrases to make the process a little more efficient. This Canadian piece highlights some and what words would be a better choice. I remember when I worked in a newsroom and we would often have discussions on the best word to use in something we were writing. I miss that interaction and geeking out over word usage among my colleagues.
These phrases function as PR for police, victim-blame sexual assault survivors, support Canadian foreign policy, and minimize racism.
There are times when my work is really fun. I got to talk to Tommy Chong of Cheech & Chong fame last week.
Hey now! Who’s that reporter out in the field? Feels good to get out and do some “on the ground” reporting. Check out this beautiful looking dispensary by Curaleaf in Ware Massachusetts.
Curaleaf’s medical ma*****na dispensaries used to have a decidedly clinical look about them. That has changed. Curaleaf’s adult-use stores have leveled up to a new modern stylish look. Green Market Report went on a road trip to Ware, Massachusetts to check out the new store look and talk to Cura...
Maybe police should reread the first amendment?
“They were a threat to no one,” the Wayne County prosecutor said. “There are simply no explicable reasons why the alleged actions of this officer were taken.”

U.S. police have attacked journalists more than 120 times since May 28
"Although in some incidents it is possible the journalists were hit or affected accidentally, in the majority of the cases we have recorded the journalists are clearly identifiable as press, and it is clear that they are being deliberately targeted."
I missed the class about being arrested or shot at while I was getting my Masters degree in journalism.
Omar Jimenez calmly narrated the action as police cuffed him, in a stunning rejection of the common ground rules for media coverage of protests.
The black CNN reporters were arrested but the white CNN reporter was told they were ok and not arrested. ???? (Also if CNN is fake news were they pretending to be filming 🧐 or did they fake the riots to really film?)
I really dislike companies that don't pay the people that have worked for them. I would never dream of doing something like this. It really shows what your true character is.
CFN Enterprises Inc. (OTC:CNFN) also known as CFN Media may have gotten a generous PPP loan, but the company isn’t sharing its largesse with its contract labor.

Truly humbled at being included in the group of women. Journalism is a calling and more so now when people call us “fake news” or criticize the industry despite having zero knowledge themselves of what it takes to report and write a story. Thanks .net for the recognition

Trump singled out two CBS News journalists as people who particularly irritated him — Weijia Jiang and Paula Reid — during the briefings.
“It wasn’t Donna Reed, I can tell you that,” Trump said, referring to the film and TV star best known for playing Mary Bailey in “It’s A Wonderful Life” and later starring as the mom in an eponymous family TV sitcom of the ’50s and ’60s.
“Paula Reid, she’s sitting there and I say, ‘How angry. I mean, what’s the purpose?’ They’re not even tough questions, but you see the attitude of these people, it’s like incredible.
Women with attitude! They should be submissive like housewives from the 1950's. On the one hand, he's complaining they are 'angry', but then he says they aren't asking tough questions. So who asks an angry easy question? He's an idiot and a misogynist and I hope these female journalists keep asking these tough questions and I hope they keep getting under his skin. Thank you political reporters.
At least 33,000 workers at news organizations in the United States have had their pay cut, been furloughed or lost their jobs since the virus started spreading through the country.
