[ProPublica @propublica]

ProPublica sent public-records requests to more than 50 police departments that reported anti-heterosexual hate crimes to the FBI.

"Governments, like corporations, have found ways to game the vacuum, ensuring their agendas and narratives are secured, unfiltered and unexamined, in the vaults of public fact. As a result, the ability of global citizens to make informed decisions is severely impaired." https://t.co/JIrV83qnkb

[Poynter @Poynter]

As journalists lose their jobs, the privilege of who actually gets to tell the story is up for grabs https://t.co/qqDYuFsBhz

"We live in a systematical world where everything is explained & organized. Beneath this man-made system, there are wild, chaotic forces of nature that choreograph our behavior...I try to see how we can relate to them in a different manner." This is a splendid read, @GuernicaMag! https://t.co/CsdKktzCWu
