1:1 God made a social network. It was called Earth. Even She could not be certain what would follow.

2:1 For the longest time, or so it seemed to the people of Earth, She allowed them to roam free, to explore, to commune, to be social.
2:2 Then She decided they required limits to test. She gave unto them Community Standards. Yet the people disobeyed. They fought. They told falsehoods. They shared graven images of themselves.

SUCH an important report on Black news media from @newmarkjschool's @CCMNewmarkJ: @cthompsonmorton + @gmochkofsky. We must give much more support to Black & Latino media (mass media had their chance). This report demonstrates why:

blackmediareport.journalism.cuny.edu
e.g.: "Black media publishes, by a factor of as high as 6X, more coverage than MSM on issues of importance to Black communities, including racism, health disparities, & voting access. 23% of articles in Black media mention racism or related issues, vs. 8% in mainstream media"
Shameful indictment of MSM & reason to reconsider every beat!:
In coronavirus coverage, Black media wrote five times more than mainstream media on the disproportionate racial impact of the pandemic, and nearly twice as much as mainstream media on frontline and essential workers.

I remember the silence coming up to the concourse in the World Trade Center, a place that was never silent.
On the concourse, I remember the sight of high heels abandoned by their owners who had run away. I remember a faint smell of smoke. I remember the newsstand proprietor, calmly shutting his shop.
I remember the face of the cop, a woman, urgently shouting at us as we came up from the concourse, ordering us to RUN!

My 95-year-old, deaf father--having come out of his breakthrough COVID and as a result moved into assisted living--fell today but we cannot communicate with him because after WEEKS @Ask_Spectrum will not move his text phone from one apartment to another in the same community.
Do you care, @Ask_Spectrum @GetSpectrum? Do you give a damn? Do you have a human heart anywhere in your organization? Failing that, do you have one efficient human being who can make this happen?
In *every* call with @Ask_Spectrum employees, I have explained that my father is 95 and deaf and just had COVID. Not once, not even once did a single employee express the slightest sympathy. That is the culture of this company. Heartless.

My boss, partner, & friend Dean @sarah__bartlett just announced her retirement. She has done so much for our wonderful @newmarkjschool from its founding. Sarah & I were the first profs hired by Dean @stephenshephard. We’ve been a team ever since. 1/

.@sarah__bartlett created our urban and business reporting programs and founded @CCMNewmarkJ to help community media. It is now headed by the brilliant @graciela, who has started initiatives for Latino and Black media. 2/
From the moment she became dean, Sarah welcomed me into her planning & strategy & supported my work. She inspired me to start our Engagement Journalism degree, directed by the brilliant @brizzyc. This is my proudest accomplishment. Sarah made it possible. I am so grateful. 3/

In one day, a half-dozen people I respect told me I must read this essay by @bernstein. They were so right. It is a brilliant examination of the presumptions of the Big Disinfo industry of moral entrepreneurship & its relation to the myths of advertising, media, and online. 1/
.@bernstein explores the paradox of having to believe that advertising can persuade to believe that propaganda can persuade. Some quotes follow: 2/
Bless @bernstein, for he examines media's conflict of self-interest: "An even more vexing issue for the disinformation field, though, is the supposedly objective stance media researchers and journalists take toward the information ecosystem to which they themselves belong." 3/
