I like the look of this revamped 2019 meta-list –five more to refresh and migrate from the archive before a new list-mas starts.
Meta-list 2019 Moved
No democracy-harming billionaires (nor me) profiting. No information abuse. No login to see our shared photobook history. The Photobook Meta-list archive moves to Substack. And I like this new format.

Getting ready for Halloween? Enjoy these photographs by Peter Mitchell and the lyrical description by Geoff Dyer. "As the scarecrows collapse in on themselves, it’s as if they end up consuming their own body fat just to stay alive — if that is the word, which clearly it is not."

"Second, antitrust authorities should not allow large corporations or ultra-wealthy individuals with many other business interests to buy major newspapers or media platforms. They cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their financial interests in their range of businesses."
Trump Tightens his Grip on the Media
A president shouldn't be allowed to use defamation to suppress criticism of him. Big businesses likely to surrender to this shouldn't be allowed to buy major media.

France issued warrants for Syria's ousted president Assad and six other former officials, for the 2012 bombing of the city of Homs that killed two journalists. Rights groups said the warrants pave the way for a trial in France for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Assad's regime.
