Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

This is extortion and censorship. Brendan Carr is turning into a mob boss: “the easy way or the hard way,” really? What about the American way? The constitutional way? Shame on ABC for capitulating and on Nexstar for greedily aiding and abetting this farce.

I was on @kalwradio.bsky.social today to discuss how publicly funding public media is a racial justice issue. The full episode is dedicated to understanding CPB’s closure and well worth a listen. The last 15 mins is my interview with @angiecoiro.bsky.social www.kalw.org/show/your-ca...

What does the CPB closure mean for the future of public media?
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has long helped sustain public media stations, announced it will shut down after losing $1.1 billion in federal funding.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

The most daming claim in this statement IMO: Within 15 minutes of DOGE accounts being created… Attackers in Russia tried logging in using those new creds. Correct usernames and passwords. 2 options here. The DOGE device was hacked. And I don't think I need to explain the 2nd.

In a new "Media, Culture & Society" editorial, Prof. @aswinp.bsky.social and colleagues discuss the various ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has reframed conceptual and theoretical tools in media and cultural studies: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
"Rethinking keywords in media and cultural studies during and beyond COVID-19: Editorial" by Simone Natale, Eva Cheuk-Yin, Aswin Punathambekar, and Emily Keightley
Abstract: "A few years after the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the globe, discussions surrounding its impact have become noticeably less frequent within communication and media research. While the pandemic no longer occupies the central place it once held in academic discourse and public debate, it is now more crucial than ever to consider how this unprecedented global event has shaped our societies, as well as its lasting implications for communication and media worldwide. This Crosscurrents themed issue invited scholars to reflect on how the cultural and social implications of this global event solicit a reorganization and reframing of some of the existing conceptual and theoretical tools that have shaped media and cultural studies as a field. Contributors moved from one specific keyword to consider how these notions are imbricated by the crisis, either COVID-19 specifically or in more general terms. This editorial provides an overview to the themed issue and highlights the benefit of considering the impact of the pandemic from a broader and longer perspective, which moves away from the language and rhetoric of emergency."
