I spent my Local News Day talking to past and present employees of the Roseburg News Review about the closure of that paper, announced yesterday.

I can't emphasize enough how much local news is becoming a thing of the past.

Roseburg’s newspaper will stop printing after 159 years, shutter the newsroom The Douglas County publication is the latest casualty in the long decline of local Oregon news.

Former Star Tribune union steward here! It’s important to know that the AI issue Propublica is striking over (getting assurances from management that they won’t replace journalists with AI) is a fight the Strib is also having.

Fair Contract Now for ProPublica Guild We, the workers of ProPublica, provide our readers with deeply researched, unbiased news that holds power to account. This work is more important now than ever, but our staff can’t properly contribute...

Good afternoon! All day today my colleagues and I will be on STRIKE. You can help us send a message! Please do not visit ProPublica's website and tell management to give us a fair contract so we can get back to work: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

It takes the length of the audio to 2x the length of the audio, so a 15 min interview is 15 to 30 mins. I type during interviews so sometimes it’s not necessary. But I like listening back bc I catch subtext, tone shifts or other things I missed during the conversation or wouldn’t see in a transcript

I’m probably literally the last human on earth who does this myself

Is there a band other than bad company that uses the band’s name as a song name?

good thing Google is letting AI rewrite story headlines to "improve" them, that definitely won't compound with this existing problem
