If Ellison finances his WBD deal w/billions from China & Arab states, "would CNN & CBS News have to disclose in all of their pieces that they are partly owned by nation-states with a vested interest in the conflicts?" asks @oliverdarcy.bsky.social.
They'd have an ethical obligation to do so.
There's no hope without education. UK's Gordon Brown calls for a dedicated #ICC for war crimes against #children. "...we must send an unequivocal message: regardless of where they operate or under whose orders they act, there will be no hiding place for those leaders who permit attacks on children."

I arrived at The Post during a personal and professional nadir. But they welcomed me into their merry band of misfits, and believed in me — so I started believing in myself, too.
My ode to what makes The Post so special. ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹 www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
US democratic backsliding under Trump is steeper than any recent precedent, when looking at state force against civilians, political prosecution, independence of the judiciary / civil service, etc. Trump’s rule is ‘worse’ than Putin, Orban, Erdogan, Chavez. @jburnmurdoch.ft.com @financialtimes.com
“Journalists are on the frontlines.”
“As news organizations, press freedom groups, and constitutional experts denounced the arrests as a brazen First Amendment violation, authoritarian experts viewed them as unmistakable evidence that Trump had entered a new, more dangerous phase.” @status.news
“Even the bravest, most determined journalists cannot shore up democracy without strong institutions,” writes Susan Chira.
CPJ condemns a Hong Kong court’s conviction of Jimmy Lai, founder of the defunct pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily, in a landmark national security trial. Authorities must immediately free the 78-year-old British national.

#HongKong: RSF condemns the threats made against int media outlets that were summoned by China's #NSL office & accused of “spreading false information” following last week’s deadly fire. As the crackdown on the press continues, reporters persist in reporting the facts despite growing red lines.
What's it like to be sued by Donald Trump and what do you do? We went to an expert and asked the NYT's chief lawyer, David McCraw how to deal with a $5bn plaintiff who also happens to be president.

Europe will arrive in Belém with a strong NDC – just in time, but a clear signal that it remains fully committed to the Paris Agreement. This was a hard-fought outcome, achieved in a difficult political and economic context. 1/4

CPJ’s CEO @jodieginsberg.bsky.social spoke with @cnn.com's Becky Anderson about Israel’s strikes on Nasser Hospital that killed five journalists in Gaza today.
Watch👇
"We are outraged that independent journalists were among the victims of this strike on the hospital, a location that is protected under international law. These journalists were present in their professional capacity, doing critical work bearing witness."
reutersagency.com/media-centre...
In @independent.ie, @jodieginsberg.bsky.social & I argue the deliberate, systematic targeting of #Gaza’s journalists is not only an assault on individuals; it is an attack on truth & human rights.
Ireland must do more, urgently, to protect Gaza’s journalists.

Our statement on Israel's killing of more journalists in #Gaza. "Israel’s killing of journalists continues while the world watches and fails to act firmly on the most horrific attacks the press has faced in recent history,” said CPJ’s Sara Qudah. “These murders must end now.”
