Gotta love when a @Newsweek hack rushes to get a “Caitlin Clark trade to Sparks rumor” piece out for engagement farming, and forgets to delete their AI chat prompts from the piece.

If you want journalism to exist, maybe don't screenshot entire paywalled stories and post them on Twitter. You're not sticking it to the media industry, you're just making it harder for independent reporters to get paid for their work. Absolute loser behavior.

POV: Your boss hosts a swanky party celebrating women in journalism but doesn’t pay most of her own journalists a living wage. 🧐

I feel like I talk about this every quarter, but I’ll say it again. We’re not being invested in. The days of Black ppl, especially women/queer folks/etc., being staff writers are a thing of the past. There are still a few left, but most of us have been forced into freelancing.

The worst part about this cyclical “where are the Black journalists/Black women in hip-hop media” conversation is nothing is gonna change. Non-Black ppl rule media, *especially* hip-hop. We’ve been sidelined in our own game. Most ppl see these discussions, shrug, and move on.

Pretty much every single train from Boston to NYC is cancelled today… a train that already is slower than trains were in 1960s in most of the world…. The richest country of the world can run drones all over the world but not basic infrastructure for its own people

"Media companies that replace their writers with AI, continue to chase traffic by doing the same articles everyone else is doing, and focus heavily on appeasing social media platforms will continue to struggle," @jason_koebler predicts. buff.ly/3ZFNmtL

A member of Jocelyn Benson’s PAC tells me they may prohibit press from attending future community conversation events with local lawmakers “to make everyone feel safe.” I asked for an email to reach out ahead of the next event and they refused to provide one.

So many news leaders have completely abandoned the behaviors of good journalists/editors. They have no creativity, no curiosity and no connection to their community. Once their overlords pay them enough to go on vacation twice a year, they stop caring to tell good stories.

Tough news: I’m impacted by layoffs at @STATNews. It’s an incredibly difficult time for journalism, but health reporting is so crucial & I encourage you to support STAT & other outlets when you can. On to the next thing — find me at ravindranath.mohana@gmail.com with ideas!
