The @WhiteHouse is launching a Reddit account. The goal: keeping the public informed on Hurricane Helen/Milton response, recovery & preparedness.

They will also be sharing info on state-based sub-Reddits, & larger sub-Reddits like r/politics, where they can correct misinfo

The revival of run clubs isn’t as simple as it seems. What started as community-focused gatherings is slowly but surely being transformed into yet another business opportunity.

Hi quick media literacy on breaking news — maybe it’s helpful rn.

If you see a variances in coverage, there are many reasons for that.

1) outlets have dif. standards for how to address speculation on crime scenes (ie what to say ocurred before law enforcement confirm) 🧵

Legacy media spent the first week of the Columbia protests calling students raging anti-Semites, and then they act surprised when no one trusts them enough to talk.

And just as an aside: If you're a journalist who can't convince people to talk, that's a you problem.
