New commentary out with @acadianjprof.bsky.social on the importance of local journalism today!

In sum: beneath the surface of online fitness culture lies a new front of ideological struggle.
The far right uses wellness to sell identity and belonging.
By naming this dynamic, we can better understand and challenge how reactionary ideas circulate through everyday social media interactions.

Fehlen konservative Stimmen in den öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien? Ja, sagt Nikolaus Blome (RTL), Georg Restle (Monitor,WDR) widerspricht. In der Mitte fand ich es angebracht, die Frage kontrolliert zu sprengen.

Öffentlich-rechtliche Medien. Linkslastig oder ausgewogen? Eine Diskussion
Nikolaus Blome (RTL) kritisiert migrationskritische Stimmen in ARD und ZDF. Georg Restle (WDR) sieht den Eindruck durch gesellschaftlichen Rechtsruck verzerrt.

This Wednesday, Dutch voters return to the polls to e a new parliament. 🇳🇱 No fewer than 27 parties are running, and in a political landscape that has become notoriously fragmented and volatile, many voters make their final decisions only at the last minute. 👇
Prime Minister Dick Schoof called fresh elections following the first collapse of his government, which would go on to fall a second time within a few months.
The Netherlands is trying to draw a line under a year of chaos with fresh elections – will it work?
