Si Zeteo logra ser rentable, el caso confirmará q el periodismo de suscripcion puede escalar sin la estructura de un grupo de comunicacion tradicional, y q la insatisfaccion de las audiencias con los medios establecidos es una oportunidad. #MediaEvolution https://t.co/RbuAou2avs

La frontera entre periodista, creador y medio de comunicación es cada vez más difusa. Una nueva generación de proyectos periodísticos está construyendo modelos basados en voces propias, comunidad y relación directa con la audiencia.

"Understanding power should sharpen our moral analysis, not replace it." We mustn't lose sight of the power asymmetry but we also have an "obligation to distinguish between governments and citizens, between armed actors and civilians." - @libbylenkinski https://t.co/WhlnRwbgku

I started watching #thekilling because I was looking into the author of "The Chestnut Man" and am currently in the middle of season 2. A relatively recent review by Karol Barzowski: https://t.co/XxUrDcsqtV

2 articles from June 8, released hours apart, I'm trying to get my head around:
* FT opinion piece: "Netanyahu’s grand strategy is coming apart"
* Economist: "How Israel is frustrating Donald Trump’s Iran plans"
do these pieces synergize?

[Marc Arenstein @traintalk]

@QuentinDempster Is "Netanyahu's big gamble loses support as Trump's anger grows" how the headline looks in the Asia Edition? Another edition headline is "Netanyahu’s grand strategy is coming apart". Is there any way to list the other headlines for this same opinion article in the other editions

Israel's most potent northern lobby now champions diplomatic roadmap restoring Lebanese sovereignity as the core element of Isr security.

Consequential given prevalent claims Israel's security versus Hezbollah can be achieved only via permanent IDF presence across south Lebanon.

Netanyahu govt, state of play:
—Appointed Bibi’s personal lawyer as state comptroller
—Justice minister refusing to abide by Supreme Court decisions
—Haredi gangs physically attacking Supreme Court judges, IDF officers & police officers
—Appointed Bibi’s loyalist military secretary as Mossad chief
—Northern Israel still under Hezbollah fire
—Passive bystanders in unfinished Iran campaign/talks
—Even Donald Trump losing patience

This is all since the weekend

העתירה הזאת הוגשה לפני שנתיים, מדהים ההתנהלות בעצלתיים של בית המשפט והעובדה שאפשרו למדינה להמשיך ולגרור את זה כאילו שום דבר חריג לא קורה בבתי הכלא ועניין הפיקוח החיצוני לא קריטי

ארכיון המדינה נפרץ בחודש נובמבר ומאז לא הוחזר לפעילות. בדיון שנערך בשבוע שערך, הסבירה גנזת המדינה, רותי אברמוביץ', כי הסיבה לכך שאתר ארכיון המדינה לא חזר לאוויר היא שהתקבלה החלטה, בשיתוף מערך הסייבר הלאומי ומערך הדיגיטל הלאומי, לא להעלות את האתר הישן, מחשש שהוא ייפרץ שוב, ו"התוכניות ליציאה למכרז הוקפאו בשל המלחמה".
לדבריה, כדי להתגבר על עומס הפניות, יש צורך בתוספת משמעותית, של מאות אחוזים, בהיקף כוח האדם, אולם משרד ראש הממשלה ומשרד האוצר לא מאשרים את התקציב הנדרש. בתגובה אמר ח"כ עודה כי אם המידע נכון, הוא ישקול לפנות לבג"ץ, כדי שייאלץ את הממשלה לשחרר תקציבים, על מנת שניתן יהיה לתת שירות לחוקרים ולכל אזרחי המדינה עד שהאתר יוקם מחדש.
