🚨🚨 New essential industry reading by the foremost journalist in this space Ashley Cullins 🚨🚨🚨

“Anas, just as you deliver your message to the world, I want to deliver mine to the world.”

Young Omar asks Al-Jazeera’s Anas Al-Sharif to tell the world his desire to travel abroad for treatment, after sustaining severe burns from Israel's attack on the Al-Shifa hospital

One of my working theories for the emergence of the 'Trad wife' aesthetic is that it depends a lot on disconnection from women who were actually adults in the 1950s and 60s.
I grew up in a lot of highly intergenerational spaces and the idea that we'd lost some sort of golden age

Heart-wrenching reporting, including photojournalism.

More than 1,000 children in Gaza have become amputees since October. What does the future hold for them? nyer.cm/oqoGft3

This is horrendous. Those World Central Kitchen aid workers were heroes.

If you or a loved one uses a Philips CPAP machine, you must read this story.

DEI was never about accepting unqualified Black & brown people. It was always about ensuring qualified Black & brown people *also* had a fair shot at acceptance despite systemic racism

The “Didn't Earn It” you’re thinking of are legacy acceptance—like how Kavanaugh got into Yale

More than 10 children have had one or both legs amputated every single day in Gaza since October. What happens to them?

Same thing is happening in film and television. These clown shoes come in hoping to reinvent the wheel, hand us a rectangle, and wonder why the whole thing grinds to a halt.

And this is why I don't accept the 'there is no money in journalism' rhetoric. There absolutely is, but the publication's priorities are all wrong.

You don't need to ask why American journalism is broken when major media companies pay $300,000 per year contracts for opinion voices like Ronna McDaniel and $200 per article for fact-based freelance journalism.

I had to read Tarazan's age twice before I could properly register the horror.

Baby, this is Joey Potter.

🚨 CITY OF LA BUDGET DEFICIT UPDATE 🚨

In the latest financial status report by the CAO's Office, the City of LA is OVERSPENDING by $289 MILLION. 💰

The top 3 areas of overspending are:

🚔 Police by $105M
🏛️ Liability Claims by $92M (police make up half)
🚒 Fire by $52M

I don't know how much of this doc is just trolling, but it still is an indication that a lot of folks who 'come out against the woke agenda' are cynical, self-interested grifters.
