@shoq Indeed. I regard a lot of the Lincoln Project types as akin to thieves who have made sick bank for decades from burning down police stations to make it easier to crime, now being all aghast that there is now a depraved gangster who has taken advantage of the lawlessness they helped create

Yes, they don’t like the situation now. But we are rather justified in feeling quite salty about being ignored for the past coupla few decades #ISOJ

#ISOJ panel of influencers talking about how the Great Flattening has resulted in an online media ecosystem wherein the audience no longer distinguishes between traditional journalists and indies who just have their own YouTube channel and audience

The international panel at #ISOJ was very moving. I admire the commitments the speakers expressed about producing news in Ukraine, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and other countries. #journalism

Program 2023 – International Symposium on Online Journalism

I agree with Joe Kahn that #journalists are spending too much time on Twitter. Our audiences we want to reach are not necessarily the same people who are active in the discussion there. #ISOJ
Context for the morning! I’m hanging out at #ISOJ (International Symposium for Online Journalism) at UT Austin today, as Knight Foundation’s resident Austin guy.

Back in 07, when I was new to Twitter, I knew it was gaining traction when I complained via a tweet of a migraine at #ISOJ. Within minutes, the Uber-connected journos in the audience were handing me Advil & water.

By 2011, the US State Dept was sending me to developing countries, where I taught legacy media, activists, human rights orgs, etc, how to use social media to get their stories to the world.

We were so hopeful then. Optimistic.

Sure that social media was a force for good.
