A user-generated ‘Splinternet’ Worth Watching? Moderators on Reddit - especially among younger, male-demographic sports Redditors - beginning to ‘bar’ links to Meta-owned platforms. Outbound links to Twitter were blocked in earlier moves. Phenomenon worth watching. @cnti_global #News #Journalism

The 138-year-old Plainsman Herald, in rural Colorado, was about to close when the owner asked readers if they’d pay more to keep it afloat. About 95% of respondents said yes. So he’s raising the annual subscription rate to $100 from $50. coloradosun.com/2024/12/11/s...

A 138-year-old Colorado newspaper asked readers if it was worth saving. They resoundingly said yes.
Weeks before closing, The Plainsman Herald owner Kent Brooks asked readers if the Colorado weekly was worth saving. Their response changed his mind.

@sulliview.bsky.social insights on billionaire news proprietors. But it’s character, not wallet size, that counts: Bancroft-owned WSJ investigated its reporter R. Foster Winans; McClatchy aggressively covered its pension-prompted financial restructuring: margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/the-escala...
