#Legal experts have dismissed that suit as baseless & far-fetched [ya don’t say], & #BillOwens said in Feb that he would not apologize as part of any prospective settlement. Many #journalists at #CBSNews — the former home of #WalterCronkite & #MikeWallace — believe that a settlement would amount to a #capitulation to #Trump over what they consider standard-issue gripes about editorial judgment.

"A Russian journalist who faced up to 10 years in prison for criticising the army has escaped house arrest and is now wanted by police…

Ekaterina Barabash "had been an outspoken critic of Moscow's military offensive on Ukraine…

Rights groups said authorities are using the law to wage an unprecedented crackdown on dissent reminiscent of the Soviet era.

Fleeing house arrest is risky in Russia, but not unheard of. Former Russian state TV journalist Marina Ovsyannikova, who protested against the Ukraine conflict during a live broadcast, escaped Russia in 2022 after fleeing house arrest.”

"Israel assassinated a photojournalist in Gaza in an airstrike targeting her family’s home on Wednesday, the day after it was announced that a documentary she appears in would premier in Cannes next month"

“We support and protect, through our presence, our Palestinian colleagues who demonstrate unmatched courage in sending us images and testimonies of the immense tragedy unfolding in Gaza.”

Media professionals from at least 36 publications, including Agence France-Presse (AFP), Radio #France, Mediapart, Arte and BFM TV, participated in the die-in, alongside some freelance journalists.

#Journalist organisations, including the European Federation of Journalists and the International Federation of #Journalists, supported the protest.

Hey #journalists and #media please use "skeptic" (aka sceptic) properly.

A skeptic doesn't accept a given position on a topic until they've seen well-gathered facts, analysis or data to support that position.

Denying #climateChange or #vaccines in the face of solid evidence doesn't define a skeptic. At best that's a denier or conspiracy theorist.

We should normalize calling people like #RFKjr something like "a vaccine disinformation enthusiast" or "vaccine ignorant."

The #Trump admin has handpicked which #news #media outlets can participate in the presidential #PressPool, & on Tues it eliminated a slot reserved for reporters from independent newswires.

In the briefing room, ofcls have made room for a new cohort of more #partisan attendees, like #RightWing podcasters, who ask less-adversarial questions than traditional #journalists.…

The New York Times · How the Trump Administration Is Changing the White House Briefing RoomBy Ashley Wu

1/

Can we please stop referring to what trump is doing as “deportations”? Deportation involves due process. The Supreme Court (not the current one, who knows how they’ll butcher it once they have the chance) established that constitutional protections (including due process) apply to everyone in the US, no matter immigration status. I am not a lawyer or constitutional scholar, but this seems pretty clear.

"There are several overlapping groups of people who, probably for different reasons, are more likely to prefer news that shares their point of view:
(a) the ideological and politically engaged;
(b) young people, especially those who rely mainly on social media for news;
(c) women; and
(d) less socioeconomically advantaged groups."

"In markets dominated by fewer brands — often publicly funded ones such as the BBC — respondents in that market also tend to express higher levels of preference for impartiality." In Britain, where respondents use an average of four news brands, the lowest number across the 40 countries studied, 62% of respondents say they prefer news displaying no point of view.

The "trade" qualification will lose meaning as #Trump loses patience.

In the current time, #journalists need to understand the real motives, the possible futures, when a person seems to be destroying their own country's (#usa) best parts.

The "better futures" promised by people indifferent to suffering, the ones they look forward to, are the ones where they get to say: now its even clearer I am in control. That's what #autocracy means, and if that's the goal, then #tariffs are just a means to an end for them, not a better world for the people.

🚨🚨🚨NEW in #AssociatedPressVBudowich – the federal case regarding #Trump's ban on #AssociatedPress reporters🚨🚨🚨

Federal judge lifts White House ban on #AP

U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden found that when rooms in the White House, like the Oval Office or the East Room, are opened to certain #journalists, the admin cannot block others.
