Times are hard for journalists, and they're getting harder. Peter Thiel has teamed up with a legal strategist called Aron D’Souza to create Objection, a tech startup that uses AI to assess the legitimacy of articles. Gary Baum writes for @nprofile…fjey about his experience being the first reporter to be taken to an "AI tribunal," over an article he wrote about Purdue Pharma heir Michael Sackler.

In a survey of 25 countries, the United States was the only county in which more adults describe the morality of their compatriots as bad than good. 53% of respondents said that the morality and ethics of other people in their country is either somewhat or very bad. Since this is a new question for Pew Research, the team says they don't know whether this is a long-held view or something new. A million miles away in sentiment, but just kilometres away geographically, 92% of Canadians think other Canadians are either very good or somewhat good.

"Time for the wealthiest people in this country — and on this planet — to do more than protect their bottom lines while our journalism infrastructure burns."

@nprofile…vk57 @nprofile…wh5k HI Joshua! You can follow topical "Magazines" for many publishers — for example, @nprofile…qk65. The best way to discover our Magazines in the fediverse is to search for the publisher (e.g. @nprofile…eepw) and that will bring up all their federated Magazines. Here is a list of all federated accounts and their handles in the fediverse. It's a bit cumbersome, we know! If you can't find the publisher you're interested in in the first tab, let us know and we can see if they are on Flipboard!

"Have you followed this whole open social web movement basically the what, what Blue Sky is or Surf is? Yeah. I mean I, to me that's here, here is now what I think is the top thing.

If you're X, if you're Facebook, if you're TikTok to be compatible with the open social web, what does that mean? Now I can take all my followers, all my contacts from those other platforms and construct my own social media graph where I don't have to have the algorithmic chunk."

Google search traffic to publishers declined globally by a third last year, according to new Chartbeat data. In the U.S. only, referrals from organic Google search were down by 38% year on year. "The report noted that publishers that specialise in lifestyle or utility content such as weather, TV guides, or horoscopes were more likely to have seen traffic declines, linking it to the arrival of Google’s AI summaries at the top of search results from 2024." Here's the full story from Press Gazette.

Missed @nprofile…89gn's keynote at this year's @fediforum? Here's the full transcript. "The opportunity right now isn't to build a better Twitter or to provide a nice place for people who care about Linux to chat: it's to build infrastructure that vulnerable people can actually use to organize, to communicate safely, and to build community. But we can only do that if we're building with those communities from day one, not building for them based on our assumptions about what they need."

In May 2025, Google began to pay CA$100 million a year to media outlets in order to be exempt from Canada's Online News Act. Gretel Kahn of the University of Oxford's Reuters Institute spoke to representatives from The Logic, @nprofile…35gu, IndigiNews and The Rover about how things are going, who gets the money, and where things stand with Meta, which decided to remove all news for Canadians rather than pay up. “If companies like Google and Facebook want to play that role in being a trusted information source and they want people to come to their platform, trust it and be doing good things with circulating information, I don’t think it’s a crazy idea that they should be expected to pitch in funding journalism,” said The Tyee's Jeanette Ageson.

"The days of us being able to walk on [to social media], tweet something, walk away, and get people to come to our website are over…" @nprofile…ncxj's Jason Koebler told Nieman Lab's Hanaa' Tameez at the iMEdD International Journalism Forum last week. "We said, if we don’t aggressively move people from social media platforms that we don’t control to platforms that we do control, this business isn’t going to work and we aren’t going to have jobs anymore.” This led the team at 404 to ask readers for email addresses and put older stories behind paywalls, which totally transformed their business. Here's more from NiemanLab on what 404, The Economist and El País have learned about how to attract and retain readers in today's media environment.

Columnist Philip Bump left the Washington Post last month after accepting a buyout. For his Pbump blog, he writes about power — who has it and is using it responsibly and how to preserve your own — and why he is not a fan of Twitter/X or Substack. "There’s value to debate and conversation, of course, but that isn’t what’s fostered on Twitter or (in my limited experience) on Substack. Instead, conversation occasionally glimmers through a waterfall of bad-faith, uninformed trolls and attacks. It’s an effort to play a college football game after the crowd has stormed the field."

Ford says it's cracked the code on cheap EVs, thanks to more streamlined manufacturing processes and lithium iron phosphate batteries that the company says are more durable, faster charging and more affordable than what it currently uses. There will be more use of automation and robots, but the company declined to specify how this compares to current manufacturing.

"We’ve got big city issues in small towns. So this is really very tragic timing,” says Marie Hamilton, managing editor of the Platte County Record-Times.

"The solution isn’t building better platforms — it’s making platforms an obsolete concept. Platforms concentrate power; protocols distribute it. Platforms extract value from users; protocols enable users to create value for themselves. Most importantly: platforms can be captured by bad actors, but protocols resist capture by design."

How do you measure editorial independence in 2025?

Here's Nieman Lab's story; find the full ranking at the second link. “These corporations exist because of public policy,” Tim Karr, the author of a supplementary report on the ranking, told journalist Margaret Sullivan. “There is a genuine popular movement to create a more democratic media system. People should get engaged in this debate.”

Thanks @nprofile…k57s
We love to hear the types of publishers and content people are looking for on Mastodon. I have sent your request to our publisher team so stay tuned, and please let us know if there are any other Flipboard publishers you'd be keen to see in the fediverse.

With social and search traffic declining, publishers need new ways to connect with readers.
In this #DotSocial episode,
@nprofile…el04 talks with @nprofile…ncxj's @nprofile…p9x3 and @nprofile…j3rp's
@nprofile…mpj6 about the benefits of decentralization.
"I think what's really missing is the human to human connection and the human curation ... Our informal tagline is by humans for humans. We really just want someone to look at our stuff and send it to their friends in a group text or talk about it out loud or add it to a stream on the fediverse," Jason says.

"In 2022, Medium was losing $2.6M each month. We were also losing subscribers so you couldn’t even look at that spend as an investment in growth," writes the company's CEO, @nprofile…0mz7, in a new post on the site. "Internally, we were kind of ashamed of the stories we were paying and promoting as winners on the platform. Our subscribers were less kind — calling out that we were swamped with get-rich-quick trash (and worse)." Here's his honest, detailed explanation of how the company fell in a hole, and got out. (Medium has been profitable since August 2024.)
"I’m not sure if a company is allowed to be this blunt about how bad things were. But it’s very much of the Medium ethos that if something interesting happened to you, then you should write it up and share it," he says.

"Despite the fact that generative AI has been a destructive force against their businesses, their industry, and the truth more broadly, media executives still see AI as a business opportunity and a shiny object that they can tell investors and their staffs that they are very bullish on," writes @nprofile…p9x3 for @nprofile…ncxj. He describes why this pivot to AI won't work — and why media organizations should be focusing on human work and building real relationships with their audiences. "There is no reason for an individual journalist or an individual media company to make the fast food of the internet. It’s already being made, by spammers and the AI companies themselves. It is impossible to make it cheaper or better than them, because it is what they exist to do. The actual pivot that is needed is one to humanity. Media companies need to let their journalists be human. And they need to prove why they’re worth reading with every article they do."

NewsGuard, the company that rates how reliable online information is with "nutrition labels," says it's retiring the words "misinformation" and "disinformation," saying they no longer help explain the threats they describe and that they are "vague, overused, and increasingly seen as partisan. When everything is 'disinformation,' nothing is, and public trust continues to disintegrate." Here's a blogpost from AI and Foreign Influence Editor McKenzie Sadeghi explaining more about NewsGuard's rationale, and what terms they will be using in the future.

Extremism “is fundamentally a local problem, magnified nationwide," says Dana Coester, founder of nonprofit newsroom 100 Days in Appalachia. “There’s more risk at the local level. You are accessible, you are visible, you are part of the community that you’re covering, and you don’t leave.” Columbia Journalism Review interviewed her and journalists from @nprofile…m665, InvestigateWest, and more, about the threats local journalists face from far-right extremists.

Hi @nprofile…kw8s! The federated accounts on Flipboard.com are often RSS-fed, which means you won't see much interaction unfortunately (though there are definitely some publishers that manually flip content into their Magazines and will be able to see comments, etc. Some of the value in the case of RSS-fed Magazines is that the content is broken down topically, so you can see all the tech news from a publisher but not the sports, for example. We also get some conversations taking place below the posts even if the publisher isn't engaging. And there are always the human curated @nprofile…2qzl, @nprofile…z083, @nprofile…3s66 and @nprofile…75cv accounts, where we're always up for a chat!

This year, social media displaced TV and online news websites/apps as the top way Americans get news, according to Oxford’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism (RISJ). According to their latest Digital News Report, the change is happening all over the world, but "faster and with more impact" in the United States. Here's more detail and other findings from the research, courtesy of Nieman Lab.

More news sites are opening their articles with a bullet-point list summarizing the key points. In the case of @nprofile…2hqd, @nprofile…snr9, and Yahoo News, these are AI-generated, but each newsroom takes a different approach to how this works. NiemanLab's Sarah Scire spoke with editors from each publication to learn more. "Summaries aren’t a replacement for journalism: they can’t exist without it,” says Chris Collins, chief product officer of news at Bloomberg.

And finally, introducing Ruby Ibarra, a Filipina American rapper who won @nprofile…k2rj’s Tiny Desk contest with her entry, "Bakunawa." The three-song performance features an all-Filipino band, and Ibarra sings in English, Tagalog and Bisaya, sometimes switching languages between verses. As she introduces herself, she says: "Being human is not illegal. Immigrants have been here, lived here, worked here. And this immigrant is here. From Tacloban City, Philippines, all the way to Washington, D.C., my name is Ruby Ibarra."

At the end of WWII, the Soviet Union shifted its censorship into high gear in order to minimize the corrupting influence of the West. The punishment for disseminating banned materials could be imprisonment in a gulag, or even death. But that didn’t stop the enterprising, innovative people of the former USSR. @nprofile…et2z explains “bone music,” where recordings of Ella Fitzgerald and Elvis were etched into used X-ray film. “The music … suggested that a different sort of life is possible, beyond the strictures of Communist officials. How could a political system that prohibited beautiful music, many asked, possibly merit the allegiance of its citizens?”

The automatic license plate reading camera technology made by Flock is supposed to prevent carjackings or find missing people. @nprofile…ncxj says in one Texas case, it was used to track down a woman who was believed to have had a self-administered abortion. 83,000 cameras were used in the search, including ones in states where abortion is legal. The sheriff’s office in Johnson County says that the woman’s family were concerned for her health and that this was the sole reason they were tracking her. “The idea that the police are actively tracking the location of women they believe have had self-administered abortions under the guise of ‘safety’ does not make me feel any better about this kind of surveillance,” says Eve Galperin, director of cybersecurity at digital rights organization the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

Veronika Romanova and Mariana Lastovyria write for @nprofile…njzv’s Counteroffensive about what it’s like to attend the 2025 version. “The existence of kvartyrnyks demonstrates how Ukrainian culture persists despite constant adversity – whether under authoritarianism or in the face of open war against it,” they write.

When a Tennessee student makes a threat on social media and it comes to the attention of school staff, the law requires them to investigate the validity of the threat, and figure out a plan of action that supports the student, and protects their peers. @nprofile…j3rp reports on an incident in DuPont Tyler Middle School earlier this year, where authorities expelled a seventh grader without following proper procedures. The12-year-old’s alleged threat was a screenshot of a text exchange that he says he reposted from a Spanish-language news site. It’s just the latest in a series of similar stories of children being expelled, facing felony charges, and being detained — in one case, just for making a “finger gun” gesture at classmates.

One way to track what’s happened on Earth during past periods of drastic climate change is to examine fossils, but, says @nprofile…nu7u, “the fossil record for most species is spotty.” Enter planktonic foraminifera, a unicellular marine organism that first appeared on Earth about 100 million years ago. Nine out of 10 species went extinct when an asteroid hit 66 million years ago. It took 10 million years for species diversity to recover. Tim Vernimmen takes a look at what that can teach us about the past — and future.

@nprofile…vevx has adapted “Acoustic Rooster,” Kwame Alexander’s jazz-meets-farmyard-animals children’s book, into an animated special and series of digital shorts. Kevin Coyne spoke to Alexander and series producer Julius about how it all came together. “This idea of democracy is at the heart of jazz, and I think that’s something that kids can learn from these musicians in ‘Acoustic Rooster’ – how they collaborate to create beautiful music, but more importantly, become friends and change their world,” says Alexander.

Selena Quintanilla was murdered 30 years ago, but that’s far from the most important part of her story. @nprofile…m665’s Francesca D'Annunzio reviews a new documentary, “Selena y Los Dinos,” which stitches together old camcorder footage, archival interviews with Selena and new conversations with her family members. “As for the woman who murdered Selena in 1995, the film essentially ignores her altogether. The film’s exploration of the loss of Selena’s life focused on the family’s grief and the late singer’s legacy,” writes D’Annunzio.
