Not much to see here, just my attempt to debate existential questions at @thersaorg.bsky.social with @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and @bellingcat.com
My uncomfortable efforts to signpost towards a #mediarevolution continue! @media-revolution.bsky.social

It blows my mind too @charliejgardner.bsky.social Seems like another case of obsession with the clown 🤡.... and ignorance of the circus 🎪
A message from our Chair, Stephen Kinsella (@stephenstroud.bsky.social) regarding the recent polling conducted by Opinium in regards to press standards.
X is just as much an enclosed, tiny and echoey silo as Bluesky, it's just that the people on X still seem convinced they're plugged directly into the brain of policymakers and high-powered decision makers like the Matrix chair, and it completely acidifies and collapses their brain
Ahhh delightful! Merry Twixtmas to thee.
"The thing that they fear the most is what they don't control."
Love this quote by AOC in The Persuaders @anandwrites.bsky.social

Working behind the scenes with @hackedoff.bsky.social and getting progress for press abuse victims feels positive. And yet I'm skeptical about #PressReform via Labour.
We must use political routes AND have strategies that don't depend on them.

TONIGHT! 20th November 19:00 - 20:00 GMT
bit.ly/4oXOlBi - News Club Live
People join together, not just to talk about the news, but to ask what to do about it?
Come and see how a club operates and get support for setting up your own! #MediaRevolution #NewsClubs
I say I hate acronyms, but I can make exceptions.
Yesterday was a Media Revolution meeting for strategy of the Core Working Group (CWG)...and we met In Real Life (IRL)
I kept calling the day the
CoWGIRL day. Hardly anyone knew what I was on about.
And that's absolutely OK.
#NerdAlert
and then.... @media-revolution.bsky.social
has Media Liberation Day - November 5th, of course!
oh, and then Global Media and Information Literacy Week ...24th to 31st October....
...plus this is just in time for #WorldNewsDay on the 28th September... "A global awareness campaign to amplify the value of fact-based journalism."....
Excited to say I've joined the team at @hackedoff.bsky.social - just in time for The Hack to air on ITV.
With any luck (and effort) this could bring renewed interest to the problematic press (there are stronger words) - and their cosy (cough, corrupt, cough) relationship with police and govt.
#WeAreAllPalestineAction 🇵🇸
(hashtag seems to be getting a little traction on other platforms... )
Oh, I am imagining. We must all imagine the worst and then work towards the best. This isn't humanity.
It was a real pleasure to host a zoom room full of media revolutionaries on Monday.
And look, they're so happy!! 🤣 Obviously because they know we need a #MediaRevolution and are part of making it happen! 😜
Imagine if the media refused to platform fossil-fuel-funded think tanks.
We’d see disinformation disappear and fake debates vanish.
Do you think it’s time for the media to draw a firm line against climate and nature misinformation? #ClimateMediaCharter
Imagine if every newsroom openly declared a climate & nature emergency.
Could media leaders be the guiding light in a time of crisis, showing they care about the future we all share?
Pledge 1/12 of the Climate Media Charter asks for this commitment.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
Hi! I've advocated for reporting solutions for a while, but I'm new to solutions journalism as a term. I'm keen to understand more about and why it might have a bad reputation? (Something @leohickman.carbonbrief.org flagged as an issue at a recent event at @exeter.ac.uk wtih @c3ds.bsky.social)

🪧 What are the impacts of climate activism? We reviewed 50 studies from the past few years on this exact question, and here's what we found:

Comparing coverage of #teslatakedown on @bsky.app vs X is very revealing.
Also X has a Tesla Take Down WatchDOGE 🤮

A different world to the one we live in now *is possible*, and transformation is within reach.
Today, with @climate-media-c.bsky.social I launched this crowdfunder, to take us on a path to a global media leaders summit. I've never been so clear on, and exciting by the goal.

A whole new type of democracy is thriving in one of the toughest places in the world - despite a media blackout.
Women lead. Taxes have been abolished and private property redefined. Prison is being phased out.
Everyone gets a say.
But now it's hanging by a thread. 🧵

Agree with most of your thread Joe. Have been an advocate of improving focus & messaging on Assemblies for TIME. One issue has been they aren't understood or well communicated by XR. Also much easier for the media + "f-the-system-rebels" (not "rethink the system organisers") to focus on "actions".
Plenty more to say about why approving new oil & gas fields isn't the right tactic for a thriving, prosperous future for the UK, but even on the government's own "growth for growth's sake" approach, it doesn't make sense to double down on O&G:
BREAKING 🚨: WE WON OUR CASE AGAINST ROSEBANK.
The court has ruled the oil field UNLAWFUL and Rosebank’s approval has been overturned.
This is a monumental victory in the fight for a liveable future for all.
