Hey journalists! Mastodon is not a “platform”. Platforms were invented in the wake of the last financial crisis to consolidate power among specific companies by mining people of of their personal data for profit online. Mastodon does not consolidate, only connects. It does not amplify algorithmically, or mine people. Any “learning curve” should include reflection on why you ever accepted “services” aimed at data extraction as “natural” or even “social” to begin with. #twittermigration
My copy of ‘Chokepoint Capitalism’ finally came! Such a well-timed publication considering the last few weeks.

"Without well-funded local news media, that has the capacity to perform public interest journalism, much is lost"

For #journalists and other #media types trying to find each other:

So far, there are two lists of #twittermigrants. One's at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13No4yxY-oFrN8PigC2jBWXreFCHWwVRTftwP6HcREtA/edit

Please add yourself if you're not on it! The other is at https://github.com/cgseife/mastodonpeople and is biased toward #scicomm journalists, but has numerous others. Feel free to add yourself by starting an issue with your name, affiliation and handle/instance.

Do you know journalism when you see it? In this newsletter piece I talk about the emergence of platform journalism. I suggest that we need to focus more on content and less on worrying about who is a "real" journalist. This article is inspired by my current PhD research. https://www.uts.edu.au/research/centre-media-transition/news/rise-platform-journalism
