Journalists and artists frustrated with the slow pace of change in the OG media business, looking for new models. Consider new models of public goods creation. Ethereum Foundation is offering fellowships to its annual summit DevConnect 2025.

❝This forum is one of ARIJ’s strengths in supporting investigative journalism, despite everything happening in the region and the changing funding requirements. Adhering to principles is crucial for building successful collaborative work. The strength of fact-checking networks lies in their local management and the way they operate❞

German activist and HKU journalism grad David Missal says Hong Kong denied him entry despite travelling freely to China

@DavidJRMissal Hope you are recovered. Sorry just seeing this news. Am I reading the Immigration Branch document correctly... you arrived from Beijing? So, entry into BJ, but denied entry in HK? Gives a whole new meaning to one country, two systems.

Humiliation, grievances, anger, confusion, encouragement, inspiration … Ex-#StandNews staff shared a mix of feelings about witnessing the years-long legal wrestle, and hearing their chief editors’ testimonies :

Good time to remember how influential Stand News was.

[Timothy McLaughlin @TMclaughlin3]

Verdict coming today in the Stand News sedition trial in Hong Kong. The outlet never got the type of international attention of Apple Daily and Jimmy Lai, but was arguably more influential.

Thanks @maryftz and @OSFJournalism for getting many ideas together, as ideas grow better when transplanted into other minds. It is a must to better understand the coming AI-mediated information ecosystem and to assert agency within it.

[Mary Fitzgerald @maryftz]

How will AI affect the future of journalism?

Earlier this year @OpenSociety solicited almost 900 possible answers - and then gathered 60 media, tech, law, policy & business experts to hash it out

Here's what they said 👇

My former student, @selina_cheng , was fired by @WSJ for leading the embattled @HKJA in defense of press freedom in Hong Kong. She was told @WSJ staff should not be advocating for #pressfreedom in places like Hong Kong but can do so in the West. 1/2 https://t.co/y1JNRJmCFc

I couldn't agree with this review more. Link and Wu's bio of Liu Xiaobo is the most important China book to have been published in the past year. I have a review forthcoming in @nybooks. It's tragic that it's otherwise been ignored. No NYT, WaPo, WSJ, Guardian...
Why?

The most depressing imaginable presidential debate between two fourth-rate candidates. One is unable to tell the truth and the other unable to string a sentence together. How on earth did the most powerful country on earth end up having to choose between two utter duds?
