Instead, Baird says, they are building and launching a "Star Talent Unit."

"Talent-driven journalism is the future of media, and personalities and creators will lead the way."

FWIW, your takeaway from this should *not* be that conservatives are “stupid” & deserve what they’ve wrought. rather, it should be that Republicanism is a fundamentally predatory political project, and it’s only able to succeed when the state has failed its people

[Marlee Baldridge @MarleeWith2Es]

Just cartoonishly evil.

[Marlee Baldridge @MarleeWith2Es]

In "everything is politics" news: Iowa passed new truancy laws in the spring that mean that even going on a college visit is an "unexcused absence," and missing four days of school a quarter could mean absentee-ism. https://t.co/JAPG2tXzeh

[Marlee Baldridge @MarleeWith2Es]

This change is estimated to cost school districts tens of thousands of dollars.

This is closely tied to the fact that Gov. Kim Reynolds is pushing families to choose private schools, which do not have to follow the new truancy laws.

This book was an insult to Appalachia where he manufactured a fictional “culture in crisis” to sell books and launch his political career

In November I'll share some of my favorite local news stories from INN members. Until then, peruse what your local nonprofit is publishing - if you're looking for a place to put media dollars, ya can't have a bigger effect than there.

[Marlee Baldridge @MarleeWith2Es]

Which is why your donation to a local nonprofit news org during #NewsMatch is so important - your dollar is matched (sometimes 3x over!!!) by philanthropy groups between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31. A 🧵 on how powerful a donation can be:

[Nick Baumann @NickBaumann]

Ordinary people refusing to pay for journalism does not protect journalism from the influence of the wealthy and powerful; it makes journalism more dependent on the wealthy and powerful.

[Marlee Baldridge @MarleeWith2Es]

This is all assuming that - as is the case for many tiny nonprofits - the staff is completely volunteer! I worked on The Objective for 2.5 years and made negative money. Two staff-members are now officially part-time, but that was with YEARS of going without.
