The media’s overall responsible plane crash coverage includes calling out Trump - Poynter Responsible media outlets are moving slowly and erring on the side of caution. The president is not. And they’re rightfully criticizing him for it.

Responsible media outlets are moving slowly and erring on the side of caution. D. Trump is not. The coverage — especially from responsible news outlets — has been heavy on facts and expert analysis and light on speculation and finger-pointing www.poynter.org/commentary/2... @ejnetwork.bsky.social

AP Report: Investigating claims around ‘The Terror of War’ photograph | The Associated Press

The Associated Press vigorously counters the claim (of a recent documentary) that the author of this iconic picture is not its photographer Nick Ut. The "girl on the photo", Kim Phúc, also backs the AP and denounces the claim as "mean and untrue"

ProPublica’s reporting on Pete Hegseth is journalism done right - Poynter Rigorous reporting revealed a potentially big story was a nonstory. For its verification efforts, the nonprofit took a beating.

You want to learn more about media literacy/education, about how good journalism works and about media bashing. Read that story of Pro Publica double-checking an info and deciding not to publish. And being damned for doing the right thing. www.poynter.org/commentary/2... @ejnetwork.bsky.social

The California Wildfires Are the Latest Disaster Supercharged by Climate Change Extreme weather events — deadly heat waves, floods, fires and hurricanes — are the consequences of a warming planet, scientists say.

Contrary to politicians who fear to face their sleepwalking voters' anger and are ready to lie to justify a "pause" journalists would be flouting their ethical duty if they don't report seriously on the effects of climate change.
