people are dying in donetsk daily and just a few years ago a bunch of guys in camo were terrorizing lawmakers in the us capitol building. but it's "open warfare" to be rude on c-span or on Steve Bannon's podcast

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

I am once again asking media outlets talking about ACTUAL wars not to use metaphorical wars in the same headline

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

@KSuchanow hello, I'd like to reach out to you about an interview for US media, can you dm me?

Fyodor Dostoevsky is the greatest content creator you've never heard of.

Reading his work changed everything I knew about business.

He often communicated ideas in long made-up stories, so I've synthesized the 7 principles to elevate your online presence from gulag to new Jag ↓

@realgirl_fieri @jennegatron or, like other another commenter said, it's not just that parents are tracking your location but that they don't trust you at all when you're out of the house. getting the second degree at home about how you spent your time out would be even more cumbersome than the FindMy.

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

@realgirl_fieri @jennegatron I question these tools but I do think that your parents knowing where you are is generic info - you still benefit from the privacy of hanging out with your friends outside your house. I think it's more bc young people don't go to school in their own neighborhoods as much anymore

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

yes, IF journalism schools stop molding themselves into job training centres for low-budget content farms. Schools must instead focus on teaching research, investigative techniques, find information, analyze discrepancies. Teaching the public these tools will always be a net good

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

@jwsthomson you don't have to. she's writing a thesis about the media. it doesn't mean she has to work in media

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

@ElaheIzadi If anything WAMU probably DOES get money from npr that most other stations don't get!! because npr syndicates 1A. Many stations don't have a big show like that to sell to npr.

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

@ElaheIzadi stations do not get money from NPR. and if you mean CPB, only 135 out of 549 total grantees rely on CPB for more than a quarter of their revenue: ergo, vast majority of stations rely 'much more heavily on fundraising and corporate sponsorship.' this is a significant error.

the thing that stresses me out about vice moving to a studio model is that the smartest small media outfits now are moving to a studio model to put their stories on platforms like vice. someone has to actually distribute the stuff.

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

god bless

[Aram Zucker-Scharff | @[email protected] @Chronotope]

An interesting little fact about Vice's content: a full site archive, including saving outbound links, was performed by the volunteer Archive Team last year and it took ~six months to capture all the Vice content across all the languages they publish in. They've published a lot!

grover has been laid off without severance despite being part of his paper’s bargaining unit. he found out this morning while at the capitol via a push alert from the new york times

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

@MikeIsaac I mean they also had it free so they shouldn't judge you

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

@janhopi Portugal also has way more pathways to obtain permanent residency/citizenship, if that's what he wants. UK will make him work his butt off then show him the door :/

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

@TheLincoln but it's also a shame, because original essays, reviews and articles are the closest that students get to doing post-grad humanities or social science work. Using the cheat-proof options mean people who actually WANT to keep doing this don't get a chance to try their hand.

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

@TheLincoln Oral exams and handwritten tests on paper, in person, in the classroom/exam room seem like the best routes, force you to read and remember enough to have it still in your head when you show up (1/2)

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

@SafeTennessee @AmiEverAfter Serena Williams yells on the court all the time. Are we to assume she's a bad mother to her kids? this is a very dangerous precedent.

[Katie Toth @kat_toth]

it's interesting -- I see takes like this all the time but every time I'm in Germany I meet people who genuinely struggle to communicate in English and are relieved when I bust out my (bad) A1 German. I believe this person, I just wonder why the experiences are so different.
