Is the #Media Prepared for an Extinction-Level Event?

The Washington Post’s new #publisher and C.E.O., Will Lewis, was more clearly bearish on subscriptions. “That subscription-based model is now #waning and then will enter a more significant period of decline,” he said. “There’s very positive evidence of how news can be accessed and paid for in more innovative ways. There are day passes that are successful, there’s week passes, there are models like the #Guardian where you can make #donations. So there’s a whole new generation of paying user concepts. I’m pretty excited about it. I think it’s #newsroom 3.0.”

The British #Guardian reports that #CNN is facing a backlash from its own staff over its pro-Israel editorial policies, which led to a regurgitation of Israel's propaganda and the censoring of Palestinians perspectives in the network’s coverage of the war in #Gaza.

CNN's editorial policy includes tight restrictions on quoting Hamas and reporting other Palestinian perspectives while Israel's government statements are taken at face value. Also, every story on the conflict must be cleared by the #Jerusalem bureau before broadcast or publication.

‘Transphobic bullying is rife’: a 15-year-old trans boy’s view of coming out at school

It’s inexcusable to say a child needs to have permission to experiment with their name or wardrobe. Cis kids do that all the time without their parents being informed.

The politicians behind this guidance don’t know what it is to be trans, they’ve never listened to a trans voice so they don’t know what damage it will cause.
