Press freedom groups share grim warnings about a second Donald Trump administration - Poynter The Committee to Protect Journalists, Reporters Without Borders and Freedom of the Press Foundation have all raised concerns about the next 4 years

I've read a lot of statements like Poytner's about the need for press freedom. I 100% agree. But if you label everything an inferno, people stop noticing the truly dangerous fires. Readers need diligent but measured coverage even if algorithms don't reward us for it.

The Disinformation Exodus Elon Musk caused a lot of chaos. Now comes the payback.

The exodus from X is in full gear, with folks fleeing Elon Musk's disinformation machine. Is it just liberals leaving or is there more behind the mass account cancelation?

The majority of news influencers are conservative men, study finds + connecting Anne Frank to the Rizzler, Moo Deng's pop song, BookTok meltdown, and why school cell phone bans don’t work

Pew Research has put data behind the obvious: the right-wing infosphere is male-dominated and two-fold larger than the liberal influencer infrastructure. No wonder it's hard to escape conservative views on the web.
