Every few years, a story pops up that makes me want to quit Facebook all over again. And it always centers on how journalism is, or is not, made accessible.

Meta reminds me once again that they are not a partner we can trust, and that the industry needs to spend more time developing its own distribution channels.

Many thanks to all of my past colleagues who have vouched for me and spoken on my behalf.

And I'm still doing my podcast work. So I have two jobs now!

Onward!

Just like most of the pandemic era funds, there is a ton of fraud and waste happening.

Now, the clamp down has started on the employee retention tax credit (ERC). I got a lot of ERC emails myself, and I’ve never had employees. The people pitching these services should know better. And I suspect they do.

The latest episode of Black Journalists on Journalism is out with Pulitzer Prize-winner Corey Johnson of ProPublica:

"Most people have never encountered a journalist ... One of our greatest powers, if we choose to use it, it's showing and listening to people's story without judgment, just listening. And people, when they feel heard, it does something to them. It does something for them."

I don’t want to see an AI-generated movie or TV show. I don’t know why anyone would. The whole point of the arts is to dramatize (or satirize) real life. There is no getting around that. This fight in Hollywood with the studios seems to involve a significant number of issues. Still, the prospect of AI-cloned actors is probably the most important for those who want to protect film and tv as we currently know it. #movies #TV #film #ai

I’m not saying embrace debate, but there’s an opening for platforms that want to cater to breaking news and politics. To ignore the audience that wants that from its Twitter replacement seems silly and not well thought out.

The LA Times podcast, The Times, is saying goodbye. Kinda sad. We need more news podcasts from outlets like the Times. Regional pods are important for those of us who want variety from national and international news.

Interesting interview with the Substack co-founders. They think they’ve hit the network effect already. I happen to agree.

Also some more tidbits on their finances (as much as they’re willing to divulge).

I’ve been monitoring the nonsense going on at Twitter. I have no idea what Elon’s end game is. However, his actions increasingly point to disinformation and devaluing liberal/progressive news gathering. And he lies so effortlessly.

But why? What does he gain?

Good to hear SF Mayor London Breed in length on The Problem with Jon Stewart. As Jon astutely points out, she's criticized by everybody for being too lean and too tough on crime. Kinda crazy when you think about what SF needs.
