"According to the AP News Guild, the union representing AP staff, 120 people were offered buyouts. The union also said that the AP ignored a union request to bargain over artificial intelligence."

The AP is offering buyouts in a pivot away from newspapers

For 180 years, ever since it was founded by five New York newspapers in 1846 to help share the costs of reporting on the Mexican-American war, newspapers have been a part of the Associated Press' business.

#Queer #joy, and why it matters

Queers and queer joy and creativity are everywhere. And that's a good thing 🙂 — for everyone.

Joy is #resistance to #oppression and manufacturing of consent to hegemony. Queering is an essential ingredient for #democracy, equal rights, press #freedom and #journalism, and #collective action in planetary #health, science, #arts, innovation and society.

And yet, queering is often excluded in #curricula and #media #discourse. Here are a few lines to unpack.

Q: Do yo know what empathy means

Good piece in the Guardian recently about Axel Springer's embrace of authoritarian regimes such as Hungary and the United States, but it really annoys me to read phrases like "critics say" from journalists who really should have the guts to state as fact that the German publisher's "goals are sometimes undermined by the pages of his own titles."

Today in Labor History April 12, 1963: Mexican journalist and human rights activist, Lydia Cacho, was born on this day. She has reported extensively on violence and sexual abuse against women in Mexico. In 2006, she reported on the hundreds of female homicides in Ciudad Juárez.
