I’m puzzled that our major national #journalism outlets, especially the resource-rich NYTimes, have given so little attention in news coverage and followup to #Florida’s book banning, speech regulation and political interference in education. Little sense of historic context and precedents, who’s affected, who’s fighting back, much more.

#DeSantis campaign coverage mentions this as political strategy only

@melaniesill agree. any suggestion on how we can nudge them into paying more attention to this?
@planzi Hard to know, they seem to ignore / reject criticism on plarforms where people comment — readers have no advocate, and formal press criticism barely exists in any space we’d call the public square
