1. 🧵 So, I’m going to name and shame some journalism plagiarism — starting with work stolen from my current outlet, @newlinesmag

In May 2021 — we ran a feature on Arab Divas. @nytimes ran a nearly identical piece in July, complete with the same photos

Image
Image
2. 🧵 On November 9th, 2021 — we ran a feature about how Agatha Christie did some real-life archaeology in Egypt. It wasn’t long before @smithsonian ripped this article, too — in February of the next year.
Image
Image
3. 🧵 On Feb 3rd, 2021, we ran a piece about an oil tanker threatening to ruin Yemen’s coast. @NewYorker ran a *very* similar piece in October of that year
Image
Image
4. 🧵 On September 8, 2022, we ran a piece about the perils of fact-checking in India. @nyt followed up by ripping off *the same piece* shortly afterwards
Image
Image
5. 🧵 December 5, 2022. We ran a piece on soccer fever in India. Want to guess who ripped it? @nytimes
Image
Image
6. 🧵 In other cases, publications will simply reach out to the same writers and copy the exact same piece. Hey, @TheAtlantic
Image
Image
7. 🧵 I’m all for making stories more accessible — and a really special thing about @newlinesmag is the fact that we have writers, everywhere. An incredible diaspora network. That’s what you get with incredible editors of color in a newsroom.
8. 🧵 But when white publications *fire their writers and journalists of color* and then blatantly steal stories and ideas from publications that have staff of color — something starts to feel very wrong
9. 🧵 There are ways around this. You don’t have to steal. You can *support* these newsrooms (by subscribing) and if you’re *inspired* by a piece — link to it at least! Change the angle! Something!
10. 🧵 I’m going to note that my pub is being noticed, and our editor-in-chief just won an editor of the year award, as he should. But that’s not enough. Image
11. 🧵 @newlinesmag is by no means the only small pub with a unique perspective being ripped off — @bethejuggernaut — for ex — has also had their stories stolen. We need to stop this from happening.
12. 🧵 Commissioning editors — have some shame. And do your research. Before greenlighting — a feature should be unique + original. Appropriating work and intellectual IP from journos of color isn’t cute. It’s cringe

1. 🧵 “I thought you were one of us.”

“I’m not. My parents work in Hollywood, but we’re middle-class.”

That’s how one of my friendships — with another journalist from Columbia journalism — ended several years ago.
2. 🧵 Before I tell you why that’s important, I want to rewind.

I’ll preface this: My family isn’t rich, but I grew up around some of the wealthiest people in the U.S. my entire life.
3. 🧵 At 16, in sunny California, some of my friends’ biggest worries were whether to get a nose job, and / or the newest Audi or BMW.

(Don’t choose the BMW, I was told; a cardinal sin is to be rich and not have original taste.)

I was at lunch with a friend in Brooklyn, and she brought up the ICC’s ruling — genocide. Two people immediately came up to us, interrupted, and publicly admonished us for using “the incorrect G-word.”

My friend immediately shot back …
“Actually,” she said, “I have a Master’s in Middle East studies. My family is from Egypt. I’m very educated.”

The two people, now irate, pushed further.

“It is not a genocide, that is propaganda and you have been misinformed.”
My friend smiled (or grimaced, I wouldn’t want to face her in a debate.)

“I’m aware of your views, but I don’t need to be educated. Thousands of children are dead. Amnesty International calls this a genocide. Human Rights Watch. The ICC. Have *you* read the reports?”

Unbelievable

Germany is the entire reason the ICC was created to begin with

Imagine being on the wrong side of history twice
Obviously I should also mention Namibia 🇳🇦
Since this blew up, here’s some additional context / sourcing —

The Nuremberg trials laid the groundwork for the ICC that we have today: Image

1. I literally don’t even know who the @nytimes is for. Canceling my subscription, finally

If you want accurate coverage of Israel / Palestine + the Middle East at large, I recommend the following outlets:
2. @972mag. A nonprofit newsroom owned + run by a group of Palestinian + Israeli journalists — you’ll see excellent investigative + on-the-ground reporting Image
3. @newlinesmag. Headquartered in DC, New Lines has become one of my favorite new outlets, in part because the editorial staff are actually deeply familiar (and often from) the regions they cover. The essays and reportage also offer smart, informed historical context — without the Western ethnocentric slant. Highly recommendImage

Hello! As a public service, does anyone want the recipe for *real* chai — not the gross Starbucks version?

For everyone who needs a fix, here’s my recipe from Nepal, with notes:
Image
1. One of the most important things that sets good chai apart — (which translates to tea) is using fresh, whole spices. (If you want to be lazy, you can also get a masala chai spice mix from your local Indian store.) There are many different variations across South Asia. Here’s mine:

1. 2-3 cardamom pods, crushed (sub 1/2 teaspoon ground)
2. 1 cinnamon stick, smashed (sub 1/2 teaspoon ground)
3. 4 cloves, smashed (sub 1/4 teaspoon, ground)
4. 2 teaspoons grated ginger (fresh is best)Image
2. As a note — if you have time, you can dry toast the spices before smashing, which brings out the flavor. Or you can just smash in a mortar + pestle, or put in a coffee grinder. Here’s what else you’ll need:

1. 1-2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener to taste
2. 1 cup milk
3. 2-3 cups water
4. Looseleaf black tea (assam is best)

Hi — I have a bombshell investigative piece I can’t report on because of a personal connection to one of the sources. It’s a very Vanity Fair Twin Flames-esque story about an internet wellness cult, women allegedly sexually assaulted under ketamine “therapy” — and forced labor
I know a group of women who are willing to go on the record, there’s a police report, and a possible lawsuit pending. More than anything — it digs into the idea of influencer as “therapist” and why this can be so dangerous
There are a lot of well-known folks involved. Once again — because of a conflict of interest, I can’t report on this personally, but would love to pass on to someone who covers influencers / internet culture / wellness
