Something I learned from 20yrs covering government:

One person’s “waste” is:
- another person’s lifeline;
- another person’s hometown infrastructure;
- another person’s pathway to college;
- another person’s road to a better life;
- another person’s future medical breakthrough.

@DanTheGOAT90 @StadiumShadow There is most definitely that argument to be made, especially from St Petersburg.

Tampa had a free product, and they are essentially negotiating against themselves to start paying (a ton) for it.

👇Count this longtime transparency advocate as a fan of NYC’s new junk fees crackdown👇

[Noah Pransky @noahpransky]

"Resort fees" for a pool towel and fax access!!

What a deal!!!

It's time we end bogus junk fees from hotel, cell phone, and car rental companies.

[Noah Pransky @noahpransky]

NYC’s next head of Dept of Consumer & Worker Protection will be @saalevine.

As you can tell from my story with him 2yrs ago, he is unapologetically anti-junk fee and pro-consumer rights.

5/x Junk Fee strategy 1: ENFORCEMENT

@FTC & other fed agencies are issuing huge fines to worst junk fee offenders, one industry at a time.

"We hope it sends a message to other companies in the industry that these types of practices are not going to be tolerated."

Some of the most emotional & meaningful storytelling of my (previous) career:

My generation will never forget 9/11.

I did this story so younger viewers won't forget either:

7) The end result? @NYCMayor just announced a massive investment & expansion in our program.

Exciting for me, but life-changing for the 300 New Yorkers who’ll benefit from the program in FY26.

Proud of NYC🗽, my @CrimJusticeNYC team, and of storytelling that makes a difference!

[Noah Pransky @noahpransky]

A short 🧵 about how great storytelling is a game-changer, regardless of your industry.

And it starts with a program I learned about my first day on the job at @CrimJusticeNYC six months ago…

[Noah Pransky @noahpransky]

6) 🤝 Following the graduation, we facilitated a series of conversations between the mayor’s team and our program partners.

We highlighted the success… 🏆
We highlighted the ROI… 📈
We highlighted the stories. 🫶🏼

City hall was sold.✅

Nearly 90% of US voters don’t get a say in the balance of power in Congress.

Many seem committed to increasing that number.

[LX News @NBCLX]

Gerrymandering is a uniquely American problem that ends up disenfranchising tens of millions of American voters.

NBCLX Political Editor @NoahPransky used his favorite candy to explain what it is and how it may be solved.

The best medicine for bad information is good information.

[Noah Pransky @noahpransky]

☎️Most of us learned in grade school how the game of “telephone” is arguably the single worst way to transmit information.☎️

Yet more Americans now trust this method of news delivery than any other source.

2024 was the year I realized good information was dead.🧵

[Noah Pransky @noahpransky]

Just your occasional reminder that so much of what you hate about politics is due to the Gerrymandering that ~40 states refuse to curb.

12 years ago today, I posted my POV of the Boston Marathon bombing.... to Vine😔

Roses are red;
Violets are blue.
If social media's your top source of news,
...an algorithm’s manipulating you.

[Noah Pransky @noahpransky]

2) In short, we have outsourced a large percentage of our critical thinking to algorithms.

Every one of us.

We are letting algorithms – that are not incentivized to inform, but to maximize profits through agitation – to be our gatekeepers for which news & facts we see.
