I stand with the student journalists trying to do their work under impossible conditions. Keep telling the truth as professionally and fiercely as you can. It’s you versus the world right now.

Pro-Israel attack on pro-Palestine encampment- Violence breaks out at UCLA after officials declare pro-Palestinian encampment 'unlawful' latimes.com/california/sto…

Editorial: UCLA has failed its students in not taking action to prevent violence between protesters and counter-protesters at the pro-Palestine encampment. dailybruin.com/2024/05/01/edi…

Shortly before 3:30 a.m., four Daily Bruin reporters were walking on campus when they were followed and then assaulted.

#WKCR #Columbia Student Radio: Student journalists are finally being allowed to leave Pulitzer Hall. 'Also it's Casey's birthday he just turned 20!'

I love them.

I have gotten a few questions about how to donate to student journalism outlets without supporting Columbia itself. Columbia Daily Spectator is an independent nonprofit with zero financial ties to the university, if you want to kick them some money. specpublishing.com/donate-1

The reporting from WKCR-FM NY is stunning. Students journalist doing war zone-like reporting from their own campus. It’s a heartbreaking listen, but also inspiring because they are pros who are holding back no punches about the gravity of the moment.

Big journalism announcement in California coming tomorrow:

“At Courthouse News, payroll is by far our biggest cost. It amounts to a few 100,000 $$ every 2 weeks.
The tech giant share of that wealth — meaning most of it — goes to reporters & editors. Compare that great sum with what Google paid us for advertising last month: $344”

Coffee! You already sell coffee!

Once again, the tools and methods of the left are turned against it.

To preserve our Democracy, this needs to change. The closings of so many newsrooms and layoff of thousands of journalists erodes our democratic requirement of an informed population and the oversight and accountability of the people’s government.

In the state of CA we pulled together a coalition of 20+ journalism orgs, media unions, and First Amendment advocacy groups to get #SB98 passed into law to prevent journalists from being arrested or detained while covering instances of civil unrest. 🧵1/3
