Listening to another cracker from @janfran.bsky.social and @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social and thought of these guys when they proposed a PR push for the media. Cheers!

A shoutout on this Friday to @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social and @janfran.bsky.social for their work on Ette Media the last few weeks,

Their YouTube show is worth a watch

Imagine thinking that THAT'S what "went wrong with Lattouf". A very cool answer from JS too. What even is this entire exchange?? Fucken hell.

What the heck is happening at Bendigo Writer's Festival???

'It is completely incongruous': How the media’s coverage of Gaza has sent reporters independent An increasing number of reporters are launching independent ventures as audiences express distrust in the big newsrooms.
