I am very glad to see my Tweets and posts returned. I was bothered they disappeared for a few days. That’s about 18 years of content I thought was gone in a cyber snap.
…like games or everyday item reviews, would have been seen as anathema to the core because that could be gotten somewhere else, like movie reviews. Distinct spin on content, whether local or high quality, would likely draw readers and viewers.
As I read everyone on the change in content dynamics and the succes at NYTimes, I thought this as well. A newspaper in analog times might have been subscribed to for a variety of reasons, like the photos, classifieds, comics, editorials, inserts, or whatever they liked.
Overrated story. The newspaper business was always a bundle! In 1960 and 1980 and even 2000, most Americans bought a newspaper for the sports page, the movie times, crosswords, maybe a weather report. That stuff underwrote news reporting.
…viewed a paper as an advertising delivery device—as if people subscribed for the ads. They ignored the local spin on everything, like movie reviews, books, sports, political cartoons, or opinions that made the content different. Expanding that and growing into new areas…
Just over 40 years ago, the space shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after launch, killing the crew of seven, including teacher in space Christa McAuliffe. Dr Wendell Mohling, a finalist in the program and Shawnee Mission Northwest teacher, watched from the library.
Ignoring the egregious type on photo (ack), I am sending one to my former (now retired) and influential advisor. Shoutout to @jerryin3d for sending the high-res from the yearbook. I can’t find mine buried in a box after moving so much.
An excellent commentary by @drewharwell on the firing of nine staff photographers and five photographers editors at the @washingtonpost. I think Mr. Harwell kept his job, so this is courageous. #photojournalism
The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.
Jacquelyn Martin of @AP goes beyond the moment of Lindsay Vonn striking the gate. So, hands up who can capture an image like this of a skier going 60+ mph without experience, skill, and a dash of serendipity? Any digital witness with an iPhone? I think not. #photojournalism
Former Washington Post reporters launch GoFundMe to help repatriate international staff who was fired and now facing logistical challenges getting out of their countries and back home. https://t.co/sXGJaUKnR2
@kodacohen Freelancers can do many things, but difficult to be part of the culture and team. Abysmal. No other word to describe it. People making content no one else can, that strikes a cord, and gaining unparalleled access—yet Miller says politics and government the focus. Not visually.
The dismantling of the design, graphics, video, photo and copy teams at The Post isn’t getting as much attention. It’s unimaginable that a newsroom of its size would not employ one staff photographer. These teams are THE reason for the Post’s success and reach. #savethepost
