I've been doing this work a long time but nothing prepared me for what I saw on a recent reporting trip in Somalia. I was there to look into rising food and fuel prices from the war in the Middle East landing atop dramatic cuts to the international humanitarian relief system.
ABC News has now taken all FiveThirtyEight articles completely offline. They now redirect to abcnews dot com/politics. A needless erasure of thousands of pages of knowledge.
New: McClatchy journalists at newspapers in 4 states are now withholding their bylines from A.I.-generated content as tensions grow over a "content scaling agent" tool that the company rolled out https://t.co/lObSuAlMBc
New this morning: The frequency and tenor of threatening calls to members of Congress is rising.
Chilling voicemails obtained by @TalKopan and @JimPuzzanghera show callers threatening

Breaking News: The U.S. was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people — was the result of a targeting mistake. https://t.co/88FIdIJOQi

The Washington Post laid off its entire award-winning photo staff.
Every photographer, fired.
The WaPo photo staff has won 5 Pulitzers, including as recently as 2019.

Wanted to share some openings we have at @BostonGlobe🧵
