Many thanks to @s_peppered of @NiemanLab for her thorough and sensitive reporting on a touchy subject. We need frank conversations about what we mean by “saving local news,” and I hope this is a first step in that direction.

Can't make it to Athens for this awesome FREE event? Thanks to the Revada Foundation and the Tyler Weymouth Endowment, you can watch a livestream on Friday or check out the recording anytime from The Post's YouTube channel (youtube.com/@thepostathensTV)

This is the first thing that popped up when I opened this app: An ad for a far-right “news outlet.” This, y’all, is why @AthensIndy won’t be posting new content on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

The Athens County Independent will not post new stories on this platform, which has become a dumpster that even Scoop the Opossum can’t handle. For local news you can trust, follow us on Facebook and Instagram and subscribe for free at athensindependent.com. Bye, y’all!

Evan Smith, previous TT CEO, is a journalist. Shah is an economist who worked at Goldman Sachs and the Treasury Department. Over 13 years, Smith built a journalism powerhouse. In <1 year, Shah gutted it. A tough day for the Tribune?? Try a tough day for news.

Potentially cancellable take: S’mores are overrated.

If you’re reading/hearing about Caden Cox’s lawsuit against Hocking College in the national media, props belong to @sheridan120 and @DispatchAlerts for breaking the story.

And when all the content creators disappear because they can’t get revenue from readers and advertisers (or from Google), where will Google’s AI find content to summarize? futurism.com/google-ai-searc…

Parenting while poor is NOT A CRIME. “Believe survivors” means investigating allegations thoroughly—not just accepting them without question. Outstanding, terrifying reporting by David Forster and Theo Peck-Suzuki of @woubnews.
Children Services took a mother's kids after her teenage son reported her.
Much of what he said was never proven.
But that didn't seem to matter.
WOUB News followed the case for this special project, "150 days."

That spot in SE Ohio has got to be Vinton County. To be fair, there are <10k people age 20 in Vinton.

Billionaires are not going to save local news. The only way to restore local news is for *local people* to own, staff and fund it. (Billionaires, give 💰💰 to @NewsMatch to support matching 💰 for independent nonprofit newsrooms!) poynter.org/business-work/20…

Although trans rights are a front in the culture wars, human rights are nonpartisan. Everyone, regardless of political POV, should agree that all humans deserve dignity, safety and respect. Proud of our staff for taking this stand.

With trans rights increasingly at the center of the national culture wars, journalists have a duty to cover political discourse in a nonpartisan manner without parroting hate speech. Unfortunately, recent local coverage has fallen short. athensindependent.com/journa…

There’s a special place in Hell for whoever is responsible for everything after episode 4 of #CarnivalRow. I’d rather the series had simply ended, leaving us hanging, than tie up all the plot lines with this ham-handed, nonsensical BS.

One of the most appalling thing Ron DeSantis ever did was to compel me to root & cheer for the greedy lawyers at the Walt Disney Corporation

One year ago Saturday, I was fired by @PublishingAdams for warning readers about scam ads. Today, @AthensIndy was accepted in Stage 2 of @IndiegrafMedia's News Startup Fund. Mom was right: Living well is the best revenge. 🎊🎇🥳🎆

The other day my son told me I was developing anger issues. I'm a middle-aged woman starting up a nonprofit newsroom in Appalachia. *Of course* I have anger issues.
