Another jam-packed day in Perugia. Here are some highlights from #ijf23 thus far Image
"AI will have profound impacts on newsrooms and jobs, and we should see this moment as an opportunity to consider how we approach AI and also to rethink what journalism is for..." reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/internati…
Vox's @MelissaBell gets it: "News avoidance doesn't stem from info overload as much as from the fact that people feel disempowered." Constant bad news leaves people feeling defeated. These problems are also big opportunities for news outlets Image
"We're seeing a rise in citizen journalists and activists" using TikTok, so "there's space for news organizations to also be there," providing original reporting, @EleJFink says Image
Last-minute addition to the schedule at #ijf23: A session highlighting Russia's hostage-taking of Evan Gershkovich. We held up #IStandWithEvan signs Image
"Evan was taken because Russia wants something from the United States, not because Russia wants something from the @WSJ... and we have to make sure that's clear," the Journal's world coverage chief, Gordon Fairclough, said during the session

Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News, effective immediately. This is an earth-shaking moment in cable news.
I have tried calling and texting Tucker Carlson for comment on his stunning departure from Fox. No response yet.
The biggest "tell" in Fox's press release about Tucker Carlson's exit is that he is not getting a final show. No chance to say goodbye on his own terms or point people to his next home. Fox says "Carlson's last program was Friday April 21st."

>> @PoppyHarlowCNN: "This morning, one of the biggest media trials in American history will begin." Quick thread about the latest in Dominion v. Fox >> Image
Right now there is ZERO indication that the two sides are on the brink of a settlement. No whispers, no anonymously-sourced reports. The legal teams spent Monday rehearsing their opening arguments.
NYT: "Three people directly involved in the case said they did not expect the parties to settle." Lawyers for Dominion "were filing requests with the court on Monday morning, an indication that they expected the case to go to trial on Tuesday." nytimes.com/2023/04/17/bus…

Starting a #thread of the curtain-raiser coverage of Dominion v. Fox. The trial begins in Wilmington, Delaware on Monday... 🧵
Page One of today's @washingtonpost: "One of the most closely watched media trials in decades begins Monday morning in a Delaware courtroom..." washingtonpost.com/media/2023/04/… Image
It's a "once in a generation defamation case that could have broad ramifications for the network and test the contours of modern media law," the WSJ's @erinmulvaney and @thesimonetti write wsj.com/articles/fox-n…

Take a look at the U.S. TV news coverage from 20 years ago tonight – when the U.S. invasion of Iraq began. There are some clips on YouTube... here's a historian's compilation of CNN coverage from the first two days
In this clip reel from NBC's coverage, you can sense the surprise – the anchors and reporters had no way of knowing that the pre-dawn strike was targeting Saddam Hussein
"An operation aimed at regime targets was underway over Baghdad tonight."

"This was fraud. No one can tell me differently."

"They hate him & they wanted him out bc he [exposes] their corruption. I think he could win [this]."

Those are texts from Maria Bartiromo on November 20, 2020, two weeks after Trump lost the election. (1/8)
The texts are part of Fox's response to Dominion's defamation lawsuit. The defense seems to be that Bartiromo actually bought what Trump was selling. There's a whole lot to learn from the legal filings >>> (2/8)
The first mention of Dominion on Fox was on Sunday, Nov. 8, one day after Biden became president-elect. Bartiromo invited Sidney Powell to make wild allegations. Dominion says it "became the connective thread in a prefabricated election fraud story that needed a villain." (3/8)

Spectrum News 13 is live on cable right now, covering the murder of one of its own journalists. "One of our Spectrum News 13 family members has died. Another one is in critical condition," the anchors said.
At the moment Spectrum is not sharing the identities of the journalists, out of respect for the families.
