By Joshua Benton


Half of Americans think most national news orgs intend to mislead or misinform

“Part of what makes DeSantis different is how he has paired his efforts to
elevate partisan media with public policies meant to destabilize independent
media.”
By Jason Garcia

What We’re Reading
Columbia Journalism Review / Gabby Miller
Where did Facebook’s funding for journalism really go?
“The total amounts received from Meta ranged from $5,000 to the $390,000
received by the Boston Globe. The median amount received was $25,000, but 239
outlets received just $5,000.”
The Washington Post / Ana Vanessa Herrero
On buses and balconies, Venezuela’s citizen reporters take news to the people
“In Barrio La Cruz, an impoverished neighborhood on the eastern edge of the
Venezuelan capital, [Darío] Chacón is a celebrity: The anchor here of La Parada,
a live — very live — news program he delivers in person twice a week.”
The Washington Post / Jeremy Barr and Kyle Melnick
Fox News’ Howard Kurtz says the network won’t let him cover Dominion’s lawsuit
against it
“I believe I should be covering it. It’s a major media story, given my role here
at Fox. But the company has decided that as part of the organization being sued,
I can’t talk about it or write about it, at least for now.”
Press Gazette / Liz Cookman
A year freelancing in Ukraine: “Spirit-crushing but worth fighting for”
“We — me, two Czech journalists and a Turkish photographer — escaped out of the
last open checkpoint in Mariupol, manned by a single Ukrainian soldier who
warned that he had no idea what lay ahead. ‘Watch out for mines,’ he said, ‘and
Russians.'”
The Verge / Mia Sato
AI-generated fiction is flooding literary magazines — but not fooling anyone
“Outlets like Asimov’s are getting overwhelmed by AI chum, taking up the time of
editors and readers and potentially crowding out genuine submissions from newer
writers…the wider availability of writing bots creates a new genre of
get-rich-quick schemes, where literary magazines with open submissions have
discovered themselves on the receiving end of a new surface for spammy
submissions trying to game the system.”
The New York Times / Benjamin Mullin
Nancy Dubuc is out as Vice’s CEO
“Her unexpected departure — her last day is Friday — and Vice’s struggles in
recent years, highlight the fallen fortunes of a group of digital media
companies that not long ago was talked about as the future of the industry.”
The Wall Street Journal / Miles Kruppa
Dude Perfect conquered YouTube, now they want the world
“Now, in their mid 30s, the five friends who started Dude Perfect LLC are
looking for their next act. Their solution: a 30-acre theme park and
headquarters they expect to cost at least $100 million and take more than two
years to build.”
The New York Times / Eduardo Medina
Hundreds of newspapers dropped Dilbert after its creator’s rant about black
“hate groups”
And Sunday night, Dilbert was dropped by its syndicator, likely ending its run
in all mainstream media.
The Guardian / Andrew Roth
“Faithful to my profession to the end”: Russian journalists endure under Putin’s
onslaught
“Mikhail Afanasyev wants your letters. The Russian journalist from Abakan in
Siberia was jailed last year for writing about a small group of national
guardsmen who had refused to fight in Ukraine. But Afanasyev remains defiant,
while local supporters crowdfund thousands of dollars to pay off his legal
fines.”
The Washington Post / Anumita Kaur
Dozens of news outlets demand access to the Jan. 6 footage given to Tucker
Carlson
“‘Without full public access to the complete historical record, there is concern
that an ideologically-based narrative of an already polarizing event will take
hold in the public consciousness, with destabilizing risks to the legitimacy of
Congress, the Capitol Police, and the various federal investigations and
prosecutions of Jan. 6 crimes,’ the letter stated.”
