Had a great time at #splicebeta
Alan Soon #splicebeta@alansoon2 May 2019
This guy is something of a hero in this space. @salaja got a lot of mentions at #splicebeta for the way he invests and partners with newsrooms in building them into great media companies. We need more people like him.

In a world awash in disinformation, there’s no ‘both sides’ to the truth. The media must stop enabling liars. My column washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…

Perspective | It’s high time for media to enter the No Kellyanne Zone — and stay there

With disinformation on every social platform, any amplification of known liars is journalistic malpractice.

Re-upping this @eosnos quote from earlier this year: "At the heart of the Russian fraud is an essential, embarrassing insight into American life: large numbers of Americans are ill-equipped to assess the credibility of the things they read."

So, at #IJAsia18 session on New Models and Startups, @malaysiakini cited by @salaja as best example of a new media company in Asia! Stayed true to mission and is now profitable. Steven Gan spotted, blushing, in a corner 😆

I'd argue Twitter distorts journalism by altering news values, context, scale, & proportionality. But I'm more worried this distortion will shape the way history gets written in the future. Let's hope the benefit of distance will separate today's journalism & tomorrow's history.

Favorite new word / concept, from my travels to Berlin to speak with science journalists at the @BoschStiftung: verachtungspublikum or "contempt for the audience." How can journalists be trusted if we don't trust our audiences? Thanks for that @crowdspondent.
