❝This forum is one of ARIJ’s strengths in supporting investigative journalism, despite everything happening in the region and the changing funding requirements. Adhering to principles is crucial for building successful collaborative work. The strength of fact-checking networks lies in their local management and the way they operate❞ Academic and Consultant, @rsettles #ARIJ24

Humiliation, grievances, anger, confusion, encouragement, inspiration … Ex-#StandNews staff shared a mix of feelings about witnessing the years-long legal wrestle, and hearing their chief editors’ testimonies : Story w/@holmeschan_ barrons.com/news/hit-my-hear…

Good time to remember how influential Stand News was.
Verdict coming today in the Stand News sedition trial in Hong Kong. The outlet never got the type of international attention of Apple Daily and Jimmy Lai, but was arguably more influential. Wrote out the outlet for @TheAtlantic back in 2022: theatlantic.com/internationa…

Thanks @maryftz and @OSFJournalism for getting many ideas together, as ideas grow better when transplanted into other minds. It is a must to better understand the coming AI-mediated information ecosystem and to assert agency within it.
How will AI affect the future of journalism? Earlier this year @OpenSociety solicited almost 900 possible answers - and then gathered 60 media, tech, law, policy & business experts to hash it out Here's what they said 👇 (h/t @StructStories) opensocietyfoundations.org/p…

I couldn't agree with this review more. Link and Wu's bio of Liu Xiaobo is the most important China book to have been published in the past year. I have a review forthcoming in @nybooks. It's tragic that it's otherwise been ignored. No NYT, WaPo, WSJ, Guardian... Why?
In a world bereft of leaders who still possess functioning moral compasess, here's someone to esteem. Alas, he's also dead, a victim of political imprisonment. chinabooksreview.com/2024/06…

The most depressing imaginable presidential debate between two fourth-rate candidates. One is unable to tell the truth and the other unable to string a sentence together. How on earth did the most powerful country on earth end up having to choose between two utter duds?

While generative AI presents the best possible case against tying an important innovation to capitalist dynamics, Silicon Valley's cultural hegemony will make us to draw the exact opposite conclusion, i.e. that generative AI shows that capitalism & tech progress are inseparable🧵
