Trump cut to food security survey could make measuring US hunger harder
President Donald Trump's cancellation last year of a government food security survey could make it difficult to assess whether ​his cuts to the food stamp program lead to a rise in U.S. hunger, especi...

We need to be completely transparent about everything we do and explain why we make the decisions we do about coverage because people won’t know otherwise and they don’t give news media the benefit of the doubt

From my 2017 essay, "Send the interns." pressthink.org/2017/01/send... It is relevant again because we have headlines today like this from Politico. "White House seizes control of press pool, will decide which outlets cover events with president."
When I say #sendtheinterns I mean it literally: take a bold decision to put your most junior people in the briefing room. Recognize that the real story is elsewhere, and most likely hidden. That’s why the experienced reporters need to be taken out of the White House, and put on other assignments. 

Look: they can’t visit culture war upon you if they don’t know where you are. The press has to become less predictable. It has to stop functioning as a hate object. This means giving something up. The dream of the White House briefing room and the Presidential press conference is that accountability can be transacted in dramatic and televisable moments: the perfect question that puts the President or his designate on the spot, and lets the public see — as if in a flash — who they are led by. This was always an illusion. Crumbling for decades, it has become comically unsustainable under Trump.

What's the prompting trick that stops Sora from using (weird, misspelled) text in videos? Anyone?

“I’ll read news, not other people’s reactions to news. I have resubscribed to print newspapers because they are finite; when you’re done, you’re done.” One advice of several from @laurahazardowen.bsky.social on how she’s adapted her news intake. @niemanlab.org www.niemanlab.org/2024/11/im-a...

I’m a journalist and I’m changing the way I read news. This is how.
Sometimes it's healthy to do something you love less, and differently.

The Statelessness podcast is brilliant. Essential listening about an underreported narrative in the immigration conversation. Thanks for making it, @rascouet.com! www.chahut.ch/statelessness

Are any other journos thinking it's time to reconsider the legacy media rule that we should never show a draft to a source before it's published? Are we clinging to that standard for reasons of convenience or something more defensible?

The answer is fair but deeply unsatisfying: stop expecting your reporting to move the needle; keep doing the work for the sake of doing the work.
