"The newspaper industry served as a feeder for our entire news media ecosystem. So when we lose those newspapers, we've lost that journalism. In the early 2000s, we had 40 journalists per 100,000 people. We're now down to 8 journalists per 100,000 people," says @victorpickard.bsky.social.

The Keep Police Radio Public Act is on Gov. Hochul's desk -- and it's important it becomes law.
Open access to police radio dispatch channels (as well as other public two-way radio chatter) is an important check on the PR operations run by many of the agencies we cover.

Today, we had an all-day bargaining session with @propublica.org management. Unfortunately, they did not bring a counter proposal on AI or agree to any of the guardrails we've proposed.
It's simple — @propublica.org workers should not be replaced by artificial intelligence. Our contract proposal specifically says that generative artificial intelligence ("GAI") should not be used to replace employees. Management struck out this entire section in their response to our proposal.

We won higher wages, shorter workweeks, stronger protections, and the kind of respect every worker deserves. Let’s dig in 🧵
