Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

@theshoestring.bsky.social divina has some good takes here on the state of western Massachusetts discourse
The Shocatring

Q

Many journalists, including myself, see journalism as an integral and foundational cultural institution to hold the powerful accountable. But the key piece missing in that sentiment is understanding that journalism is a political process that always carries the potential to amplify or erase particular perspectives.

The political influence that journalism can have to inform people about their representatives, for example, can change a voter's perspective or understanding of a candidate. But we must also extend that understanding of lanquage as a political tool - not only to advance and justify harm. but to enact it as well. We've seen this time and time again, from the use of the press to justify Jim Crow laws to the U.S. invasion of

Iraq.

When the Gazette and the Recorder make the decision to publish these pieces, they are engaging in the empowerment of dangerous and harmful rhetoric like Bercovici's, and in the the continued disempowerment of trans people - a population that is already incredibly vulnerable
