JOURNALISTS: Your reporting of the harrowing Hunt murders has the power to prevent future deaths.

Use it, and use our guidelines for reporting fatal domestic abuse:

🛑Accountability
🛑Accuracy
🛑Dignity
🛑Images

Sensitive reporting saves lives.

@EmmaSzewczak My guess is the early reports were in languages that use gendered occupational nouns, then when it was translated the gender was kept without much thought if it was relevant

@svershbow Madrid: Vermuteria for vermouth tasting and snacks

@sirin_kale Saw a few people ordering these at a bougie brunch place (not London!) when I'd assumed they were only on the menu to make the £4 coffees look cheap

You can follow updates on what journalists in Gaza are dealing with in IPI's Gaza Journalism Dispatch.

The 3 months of the war have seen more journalists killed (at least 75) in this span of time than in any other modern war or conflict on record.

I thought I’d finally make a thread about the audience engagement project I did with @THECITYNY in the fall, which was all about using physical media to promote their online service journalism.

Young people will still have that chance of course, it just won't be in the UK. This is such a short-sighted policy, mad to be actively trying to cut the UK off from the rest of the world.

[Catherine Edwards @CJREdwards]

Lots of people are fairly focusing on the socially important jobs below this salary threshold.

But so few young people in *any* sector earn this much. How much culturally poorer will we be without accepting young people who come here to pursue a career or to join their partner?

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 BREAKING: Rishi Sunak will increase the salary threshold so that EVERY migrant has to earn over £38k before coming to Britain in a major plan to slash migration

He will also announce new limits on them bringing family

I moved away from the UK at 22 to earn far less than this (and still a decent starting wage!) Pre-Brexit it was simple, it changed my life for the better and I feel so sad for the people being denied this chance. Except -

@ortile @kaitarford Naples 44! And Natalia Ginzburg's books

This is simply an extraordinary study. Researchers gave $7,500 (CAD) to homeless people in Vancouver. The result? The program *saved* money. It helped many of them to move into housing faster, which saved the shelter system $8,277 per person. 🧵👇

[Lucy Watson @Lucywwatson]

Great analysis from @jburnmurdoch. People without parental housing wealth need to earn an extra £25k a year in order to have the same chance at getting on the ladder https://t.co/YumpvKgN4U

The Government keeps claiming the public wants to send refugees to Rwanda.

Tonight on #bbcqt:

“Even though we have more people who voted Conservative than any other single Party here, is there anyone who supports sending people to Rwanda?”

Wow. 🔥

[Emma Szewczak @EmmaSzewczak]

finally, someone in the media using their platform and class position to openly critique the housing system instead of just getting defensive or playing dumb. thank you @isoldewrites! this is the way to do it.

[Catherine Edwards @CJREdwards]

@MartinSLewis @bbc5live I lived in Sweden (6yrs) and Austria (1yr). They have their problems but my experience was a far better quality of life for the average person. Taxes for average earners were very similar, healthcare good, public transport great, rental systems fairer (esp Vienna)

Oh! Our book about the Swedish language and lifestyle is now out in German, thanks @bg_monica for translating it 🤩

@Lynn_Nothegger It should just say "'Freibad' as open-air pools are called in Germany", don't think its correct to say Freibad 'literally' means free pool because that's not what frei is doing here

@haven Finding secondhand bookshops to browse in wherever we were away!

@AgnesStenbom talks about @IN__LAB's project https://t.co/s44VsntAVN and the ideas for news that young Swedes from low-trust groups came up with.
One idea was a 'news budget' - max 30 mins for news per day - the opposite of most publisher's focus on time spent #IPIWoCo

I'm tuning into the @globalfreemedia World Congress and Media Innovation Festival today. Excited to see months of work and ideas come together!

@khadijapatel: "What is at stake is the right of human beings to have information".

@AgnesStenbom: "With the help of AI, we could create new types of journalism and news experiences."

💡But reaping the full potential of AI to reach the people currently on the outside requires us to think differently #IPIWoCo
