If you're canceling your subscription to a newspaper because it's been gutted and has layed off its international staff documenting the consequences of US policies abroad, here are two news organizations to back still investing in free press and public service journalism 👇🏽
"It’s hard to imagine why any parent would want their teenage child to work a night shift before school, or why they would appreciate the opportunity for their child not to have breaks," @sarahoconnor_ writes in @FT:

We @FT are #hiring 2 foreign & defense policy reporters in #DC - 1 for US-Europe & 1 for Mid East. Instead of covering an agency, reporters will cover all agencies for their region - same way I cover US-China/IndoPacific. If interested, contact DC bureau chief @JamesPoliti (1/2)

The reporter who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is from the pro-Trump network Real America’s Voice and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots after the White House blocked the Associated Press
With Trump talking about a need to "clean out" Gaza, please listen to/read this piece I reported last year on what those words trigger for Palestinians:

Family and supporters of TDs and would be ministers thronging the halls of Leinster House before the Dáil meets. Outside the gates a small but vocal group of pro-Palestinian supporters make themselves heard

Opposing attys ask for adjournment of hacking case until tomorrow AM. Judge questions reasoning.
News U.K. attorney Anthony Hudson cites a “very substantial sum” for settlement that he says would *not* be available should trial start.
Hi @elonmusk! I'm reporting on your recent posts about the UK govt & prime minister. Would you do an @NPR interview about this? Please DM me. Thank you!

Ireland's taoiseach reacts to Israel's announcement that it's closing its embassy in Dublin because of what it says are “the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government.”

Hezbollah's leader acknowledges his group's supply lines thru Syria have been severed by the rebel takeover, the fall of his ally Assad, and Israeli airstrikes
Really proud that @GlobalSitRoom is funding 2 annual scholarships for journalism students - who never traveled abroad before - to participate in the CNN Academy @ucddublin next summer.
Please share with those who might benefit & help spread the word...
