From August: A great reminder of all the journalism you don't get to see. Because it may result in a story NOT running.
Turning a single claim online into a story is easy. Taking hours to verify and corroborate is the work that rarely gets its due. t/h @NewsLitProject

Just a quick note on how BBC News verifies deaths in order to report them
Yesterday I was assigned the death of online star Lil Tay
A statement on her Instagram page said she, along with her brother, had died
I contacted her management to double check it was true

Ted Cruz, like his billionaire and Big Cable allies, tries to weaponize free speech to protect the wealthy and powerful.
Cruz knows Rupert Murdoch's Fox told knowing lies, paying $787M under threat of liability for (Constitutional!) defamation./1

1/x Like the Biden admin, many on the radical left can’t seem to grasp that under the 1st Amendment, the job of policing so-called “misinformation” belongs to the American people—not the federal government. Left-wing activists are engaged in an Orwellian assault on free speech.

I've come to this late but this by @taylor_owen on the Canada News Act is balanced, and contains concrete proposals for how to improve it. Canada’s Online News Act shows how other countries are learning from Australia’s news bill | Nieman Journalism Lab (niemanlab.org)

Improvements are, of course, possible. And we should commit to the idea of the “structured dialogue” foreseen in the #emfa proposal. Dialogue is at the heart of regulation, actually.

At Media for Good & for Everyone our Director @renatemargot welcomes the media privilege in Art. 17 of #EMFA but raises concern that platforms are final arbitrators of who is eligible for such privilege. More structured dialogue, more transparency & objective criteria needed❗️

In our discussion on regulators the European Commission’s @AnnaHeroSal expresses understanding for our challenges because the EC is a regulator itself now. “We expect regulators to be European in their hearts when they look at media regulation”. #MediaforGoodandforEveryone
