Just realized I need to share a bit of a life update over here. Earlier this year I was laid off from the AJC, where I'd covered Ga. politics and government for nearly a decade. In April, I helped launch a new Georgia political news outlet PeachPol. (Today is actually our two-month anniversary!)

Facebook is uninterested, X is deranged, TikTok doesn't do text. So how does news get discovered? Used to be Google. www.status.news/p/daily-dot-... Now: "Executives have privately sounded the alarm to me about sudden traffic drops tied to unexplained algorithmic changes." —@oliverdarcy.bsky.social
Oliver Darcy observers: 

Facebook, which once acted as a firehose for traffic, has deprioritized news content almost entirely. The platform that once made stars of viral publishers now treats journalism as a liability, surfacing less of it in the feed and refusing to pay most outlets for content, even going as far as to remove it in Canada. X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, has always been a small referral source for news outlets, and Elon Musk’s war on news organizations has only made matters worse. YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok offer discoverability for video-centric content, but not for news publishers that primarily relay information via text.

That leaves Google search, which has long been the dependable pillar of publisher discoverability. But now, even that foundation is cracking. In recent months, executives across the industry have privately sounded the alarm to me about sudden traffic drops tied to unexplained algorithmic changes. And on the horizon is a far more existential threat: A.I.-powered summaries that appear directly in search results. These machine generated blurbs, trained on publisher content often without permission and with no compensation, will very likely decimate clickthrough rates. Why visit the source when Google already told you what it says?

Today, we issued a letter — signed by 70% of our unit — to @sengelberg.bsky.social and @robinsparkman.bsky.social asking them to uphold ProPublica’s values of fairness, transparency and accountability at the bargaining table.
Dear Steve and Robin,
Since we unionized in 2023, we have worked hard to reach a contract that honors ProPublica's
mission. In order to fulfill that vision, our values of fairness, transparency and accountability
must apply not only to our reporting but also to our workplace.
Our proposals have sought basic contractual rights that align with those values and exist at
many other unionized newsrooms.
Instead of working with us to codify those rights, you have struck through many of our
proposals, called for broad carve outs and delayed discussion of key provisions such as
protections against layoffs and overwork. Those tactics are not in line with the ProPublica you
say you want to build.
In recent months:
● You have refused to allow stewards in performance meetings that could lead to
discipline.
● You have resisted attempts to reform our disciplinary system, rejecting a standard
approach to just cause and measures to improve transparency and clarity.
● You rejected our proposal that would ensure our jobs will not be replaced by artificial
intelligence.
What we are seeking is simple: ProPublica management must uphold its values in its own
workplace. We expect that your proposals going forward will reflect these shared values.
Sincerely,
ProPublica Guild

President Donald Trump’s crackdown on lawyers is having a chilling effect on his opponents’ ability to defend themselves or challenge his actions in court, according to people who say they are struggling to find legal representation as a result of his challenges.
washingtonpost.com
Law firms refuse to represent Trump opponents in the wake of his attacks
The result is an extraordinary threat to constitutional rights of due process and representation and a far weaker effort to challenge Trump’s actions in court than during his first term.
