This from @lewisgoodall.com on the recent BBC mess is so good. Particularly this bit.

I remember senior, tenured (male, ofc) colleagues at news orgs sneer at suggestions of unconscious bias as if they were immune to it.

How commonplace it all is.

Das, was derzeit meinen Kollegen @dunjahayali.de und Elmar Theveßen widerfährt, dürfte z.T. auch eine orchestrierte Kampagne sein. In den digitalen Kloaken genügt es ja, jemanden zu markieren und dann wird das zum Selbstläufer, in rechtsfreien Räumen, denen sich bislang keine Kraft entgegenstellt. 🧵

Am Montag berichtete Haaretz über die Hungersnot in Gaza. Illustriert wurde der Bericht mit einem Bild aus dem Nasser-Hospital. Darauf sieht man ein schwer unterernährtes Kind. Wenige Stunden später war die Fotografin, Mariam Dagga, tot. Premier Netanjahu bedauerte das „tragische Missgeschick“.

The recall of Farsi languague Voice of America personnel shows how unprofessionnal the Trump Administration's measures were re: international broadcasting. But this recall implies that Voice of America is a weapon in the war, which may impair its credibility www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...
