I love my black job 🖤

[Steven Waldman @stevenwaldman]

WOW. The California Senate just voted to approved, by 2/3 vote, SB1327, Sen. Glazers bill to provide $500 million for local news, paid for by a tax on the big tech companies. Huge breakthrough.

Good question..."Why Will It Take 2 Years to Make ‘Bridgerton’ Season 4?" I will read the books. Save the time and elaborate amounts of money. https://t.co/sdm5T6QZs7 via @thedailybeast

According to new @pewresearch data, X leads in news consumption: 50% of users get news there, outpacing TikTok (40%), Facebook (37%), and Instagram (30%). X is the only platform on which a majority of users say that getting news is a reason they use it.

Congrats to Connecticut, RLN team member Lori Henson, and the local news movement!

A first-of-its-kind bill passed the Connecticut Assembly! The bill would require the government to disclose how it spends its advertising dollars and mandate state agencies to spend some of their budget with locally-owned newsrooms.

[Al B @aliciacbell]

A well resourced BIPOC journalism ecosystem is a journalism issue, sure.

But it’s also a civic participation issue, an economic justice issue, a public health issue, a culture issue, a narrative infrastructure issue. And the list goes on because those things impact so much more.

[Money Power Politics with Stephanie Ruhle @mppmsnow]

.@SRuhle sits down with @stevenwaldman to talk about the danger & consequences of news deserts and the need to support local news.

[Steven Waldman @stevenwaldman]

Time to move past the dividing lines of "legacy" local news vs. "new" -- & "commercial" vs. "non-profit". The real split is between community-based media that is mission driven & news driven too much by hedge funds, stock price or debt repayment needs. https://t.co/XjSDpNeEVg
