The billionaire media is laying off great tech journalists in crazy quantities this year - replacing them with AI and sycophants. This would be a great time to throw some dollars, euros, pounds, or dollarydoos to @flipboard.com/@404media, @ProPublica or another independent outlet.
Jeremy Kirk@hacks4pancakes I'm trying not to get depressed about the state of journalism because independent media is doing a great job these days picking up the slack.
Schneckbert 🐌@jkirk @hacks4pancakes True, but it's very much a generational problem.
Many have no real Idea this even exists and/or still rely on only TV news and classical newspapers.
I have no clue to resolve this other than just waiting ... but that can't be the solution. I'm telling my mum, I've installed her an easy to use RSS reader on her tablet, but whatever I do and talk, she's glued to the TV news every evening and not looking elsewhere. *edit:typo

Prickly Pam (D-PA)@waldschnecke @jkirk @hacks4pancakes
Keep working on her.
I'm 72, retired computer programmer, and I read Wired and 404Media
Tindra@jkirk @hacks4pancakes there’s occasional bright spots, too
My local newspaper recently transitioned to a nonprofit
Gerbrand van Dieyen@TindrasGrove @jkirk @hacks4pancakes "451: Unavailable due to legal reasons" (I am from The Netherlands)
