#UK daily #Newspaper, The #Telegraph removed itself as a credible source by producing #fake-news on a build-up of #Hezbollah weapons at #Beirut main civil airport in #Lebanon. The article had no authors, no corroboration and no sources and has since been altered without an mention of the alteration or apology for the āerrorā The headline remains the sameā¦ This is a push to justify #Israel making a military attack on Lebanon, from a media outlet often too close to #British #secret-service.
Is the #Media Prepared for an Extinction-Level Event?
The Washington Postās new #publisher and C.E.O., Will Lewis, was more clearly bearish on subscriptions. āThat subscription-based model is now #waning and then will enter a more significant period of decline,ā he said. āThereās very positive evidence of how news can be accessed and paid for in more innovative ways. There are day passes that are successful, thereās week passes, there are models like the #Guardian where you can make #donations. So thereās a whole new generation of paying user concepts. Iām pretty excited about it. I think itās #newsroom 3.0.ā

I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false.

The Mill is Greater Manchesterās quality #newspaper - delivered by email
..."The Mill is our attempt to find a new business model for #local #news. Local #journalism has been devastated in recent years, with thousands of #reporters laid off and newsrooms badly depleted. We hope this project can be part of the fightback. (Read Joshiās piece about whatās gone wrong in local news).
The Mill is funded by its readers via a paid #membership program. For the price of a couple of pints per month, paying members receive original reporting from us daily rather than weekly. They also join our community, including being part of our membersā discussion group and being invited to our meetups (once that is allowed again). The Millās members are supporting the growth of a new type of journalism in Greater Manchester, allowing us to take on more reporting and hire local journalists.
...
The Mill has a network of brilliant freelance contributors. We are constantly on the lookout for great journalists, whether they are in the first year of their career or the 50th year. Our best pieces have been written both by people who have bylines in the New York Times and The Guardian, and writers who are still studying.
...
We do take on a couple of trainee interns per year, who generally come into the office one day a week alongside their journalism course. Several of our staff started off by doing these placements. However, if you are interested in interning with us, please pitch us great freelance stories first. We almost always give our placements to people who have written one or two freelance stories for us and shown a really good understanding of what we publish and how we write, rather than people we have never heard from before. You can send your pitches to editor@manchestermill.co.uk.
If you have other ideas or skills you would like to contribute to help us grow, please email editor@manchestermill.co.uk. And we are always looking for people who have email lists in Greater Manchester and who are willing to tell their lists about us to spread the word. If thatās you, please get in touch."...

Saving Nigeria's history - through the news | The Listening Post
Ten years ago, Edward Snowden warned us about state spying. Spare a thought for him, and worry about the future
The Guardian
The abuses the Guardian helped him bring to worldwide attention go on: the authorities have merely made it harder to expose them. (...)
[O]ne story the Guardian published 10 years ago today exploded with the force of an earthquake.
The article revealed that the US National Security Agency (NSA) was collecting the phone records of millions of Verizon customers. In case anyone doubted the veracity of the claims, we were able to publish the top secret court order handed down by the foreign intelligence surveillance court (Fisa), which granted the US government the right to hold and scrutinise the metadata of millions of phone calls by American citizens. (...)
(Text continues underneath the photo.)
āEdward Snowden, like so many whistleblowers, has paid a heavy personal price for what he considered as an act of public service.ā Snowden in Hong Kong, June 2013. Photograph: Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras/AP.
It led to multiple court actions in which governments were found to have been in breach of their constitutional and/or legal obligations. It led to a scramble by governments to retrospectively pass legislation sanctioning the activities they had been covertly undertaking. And it has led to a number of stable-door attempts to make sure journalists could never again do what the Guardian and others did 10 years ago. (...)
So do not hold your breath for future Edward Snowdens in this country. The British media is, by and large, not known for holding its security services rigorously to account, if at all. (...)
[T]here has been little more than a whisper of protest over the new national security bill or the threatened extradition of Julian Assange.
This is curious. The notion that the state has no right to enter a home and seize papers was established in English law. (...) (1765) (...)
Please spare a thought for Snowden, who, like so many whistleblowers, has paid a heavy personal price for what he (and many others around the world) considered an act of public service. (...)
āThe press,ā as the editor of the Times wrote in 1852, ālives by disclosure ā¦ The statesmanās duty is precisely the reverse.ā Amen.

Slime trail of the year
A twenty centimeter snail? Hmmm - delicious! Garlic butter, herb butter, light brown stew - done. Yes, colleague H. has an emphatic culinary approach to all kinds of things and creatures. Snails are definitely one of them.
The dpa had previously dished up: "The slime trail of a 20-centimeter giant snail has led customs officials at DĆ¼sseldorf Airport to another 92 conspecifics. The customs officers had initially mistaken the enormously large snail for a toy - until it moved. 'Its trail led to a hole in a piece of luggage from Nigeria, from which the head of a second giant snail was already sticking out,' a customs spokesman said Friday in DĆ¼sseldorf." Sounds like rather moderate detective work. The main thing is that the ladies and gentlemen are happy about their coup: "Never before in the history of DĆ¼sseldorf Customs has a slime trail led us to smuggled goods. In that respect, this case is unique for us."
The slimy critters, which look like vineyard snails pumped up by a factor of ten and are considered a delicacy of wealthy classes in West Africa, are rather not rare. What the dpa doesn't know, others do: that they can live up to ten years and are fabulously voracious. In 1966, a family of three giant snails landed in Florida; in the end, there were 18,000 animals. The U.S. Department of Agriculture can't stand the snails, which eat more than 500 types of plants and, when they're too hungry, even eat the plaster off the walls.
Feeding them back could help. The preparation is a bit more complicated, because they are much meatier and tougher than snails. The live snails from the case were given to the animal rescue service of the city of DĆ¼sseldorf. Bon appĆ©tit.
