@LauraLess24 @UMich @UMichiganNews Helpful! Which of these experts speaks Spanish? Is there a separate guide for Spanish language outlets? Thanks

I would not have guessed that gathering people to sing songs around a campfire could add up to billions of dollars.

[University of Michigan @UMich]

U-M conducted the first national economic impact study of the U.S. youth camp industry since 1982, and found that the industry contributes $70 billion to the national economy while also supporting more than 986,000 workers. More from @UMichiganNews: https://t.co/sSZEjgBWxF

@nytimes, demonstrating the value of independent news orgs w/ a culture of challenging powerful institutions; sure, there's financial motive; & also public service motive, I believe

[Gary Marcus @GaryMarcus]

Why NYT has OpenAI by the ____s.

➡️ What every plaintiff’s lawyer wants is a defendant with really deep pockets that has behaved egregiously even after being giving a chance to fix the problem.

➡️ That’s when punitive damages are huge.

➡️ OpenAI will likely try hard to settle the case, but NYT feels genuinely threatened.

➡️ But OpenAI can’t afford to settle many similar cases for big bucks when they aren’t even turning a profit.

➡️ And they really can’t afford to lose.

➡️ NYT knows all this.

[Emilia Askari @easkari]

Prediction: #ethnicnews outlets will become increasingly numerous & recognized in the next five years. Plus, #climateJustice will be an important story for them all. w @sejorg
