Day 1 of the next phase.
I still have a couple of pieces to write for OS before it closes on Thursday. Including a "thanks for all the fish" post.
Just last night I was reading about other media layoffs, *on top* of the ones I wrote about last week.
The Intercept article I posted last night reflects the kind of coverage we simply don't have the media investment to sustain (by design).
The press *should* be more than amplifiers of PR, but how, in this economy?
Still, we keep going.
Somehow.
@MLClark When you take into account the large corporations that swallow up news outlets and then only publish what the owners dictate, it's even worse. As you probably know, in the US we have Sinclair Media that has slowly purchased television stations across the country. Strict rules on content. They give stations "news" pieces (thinly disguised editorials) to record at the local level. If they resist, a copy is sent for airing. There are multiple YT vids of these mashups.
