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.”

Why isn't #Twitter (X) dead yet? #ElonMusk has done everything he can to bury the #platform, hasn't he?

In my opinion, it's the journalists who are treated like dirt (💩) by #Musk but just can't let go of the platform.

That's partly because they prefer to make headlines with #clickbait and scandals and still link diligently on Twitter. In this way, they give the platform relevance in the media and make Musk's rants seem like important discourse. On the other hand, it is because the average journalist is apparently too incompetent to discover new platforms for himself.

I'm probably doing an injustice to the little journalist who is just trying to make ends meet somehow. But it's amazing that the big publishers are so inflexible or have made themselves so dependent on Twitter that they can't or won't switch.

The Chris Hedges Report podcast with Kevin Gosztola on Julian Assange and the End of Press Freedom

https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-chris-hedges-report-podcast-with-63e

The legal action against #JulianAssange is poised to culminate in a #trial in the United States in 2023, and this book will help the #public understand the proceedings.

This new #book by #KevinGosztola, (2/21/2023) who has spent the last decade covering #Assange, #WikiLeaks, and the wider #war on #whistleblowers, tells the full story based on #testimony from dozens of witnesses. It examines #abuses-of-power by the #CIA and the #FBI, including a #spying operation that targeted Assange's #family, #lawyers, and #doctors. It outlines how WikiLeaks exposed the reality of American #wars, the #US #government's #unprecedented #indictment against Assange as a #publisher, and the #media's role in persuading the #public to " #shoot-the-messenger." #Guilty-of-Journalism offers a #balanced and #comprehensive #perspective on all the events leading up to what #press-freedom advocates have called the #trial-of-the-century.

If you think you have not been deceived, that’s normal because that is the whole point of #deception." #NilsMelzer #quote
