Why is there a lack of coverage about this?
#YourVoiceMatters
#JasonArday has been cleared of plagiarism for a fourth time. Why is the media silent about it?
As another investigation ends without substantiating plagiarism claims, @richardsudan asks who will hold the British media accountable for its treatment of the pioneering Black academic?👇🏿

Not a single news outlet has reviewed its coverage of Jason Arday, for accuracy or proportionality. Zero attempt has been made to conduct any inquiry into the media’s role in his death. Instead, the industry has moved into self-congratulatory mode. This isn’t just tone deaf, it betrays a systemic failure

In Aus today the urgent call for safer schools & hospitals via clean air standards is front page news 👏
Australia's indoor air pollution crisis: Doctors, scientists and parents push for urgent national standards in schools and hospitals. Great to see this as the headline story today. @DrBronKing @SaferAirProject @CO2RadicalAus smh.com.au/healthcare/invisi…

Alex Pretti's mother: The federal government went on TV and lied about Alex. They tried to slander Alex to cover up their crime. We want to clear our son's name, and the world to understand who Alex really was. We want our son's killers brought to justice once and for all. We are begging for the Department of Justice to hold the men who murdered our son accountable for what they did.

NZ Government scrapped English requirements for all Golden Visa applicants i.e. the wealthy
Not only that, these wealthy don't have to stay in NZ much at all, but are allowed to buy our sensitive lands, houses and farms

They should impeach Trump just for this. Disgusting.
Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

“People are spending yrs in review processes where the insurer is accepting they are disabled, accepting they cannot work due to the profound impacts of this condition - but they're finding the mental health exclusion was wide enough to capture this non-mental health illness”

This is why you apply pressure to and hold politicians accountable even if you support them. It’s your responsibility.
Zohran Mamdani's NYPD walks back $750,000 contract deal with Israeli surveillance company Cognyte after pressure from his supporters
“It did not meet the criteria for a sole source procurement, so we are moving to an open, competitive procurement process”

If it was me, I would have just stayed quiet rather than blowing smoke up my own ass for being involved in coverage that hounded a man to death.
By the way, media organisations enter themselves into these awards. Crass doesn't even begin to cover it.
Very happy to have been shortlisted in the Specialist Journalism category in this year's British Journalism Awards for my investigation into Cambridge University professor Jason Arday and the extensive plagiarism in his PhD thesis #BJA2026

As the Luxon govt waged a #WarOnNature, Greenpeace called them out on every atrocity.
Shane Jones found it hard. He became obsessed with Greenpeace and over the years used his oratory prowess to dream up every insult possible.

The thing about the Israeli election is this: it doesn't much matter who wins. The genocide will continue. The slaughter of Palestinian children will continue. The ethnic cleansing of the occupied West Bank will continue. And the settler-colonial system will remain in place.

80 cents of every new dollar in public health funding over the last two years was captured by private providers. Public funding is building private capacity. Wonderfully captured by here by @Slanecartoons, bravo. Check out our new report at publicfuturesaotearoa.nz

You all need to understand that there is a well-funded movement to kill Wikipedia as an institution. The dream of an internet that provided universal access to knowledge was a mirage. It threatened too many powerful people, so now we have AI summaries and illiteracy.

‼️A new UN report exposes how influential international media outlets distorted public understanding of Israel’s conduct, facilitated genocide, and obstructed accountability.
Its key recommendation is simple: Media organisations must stop laundering propaganda through the journalistic form.

This is quite something ! Serbian RTV channel starts yesterday's bulletin by apologizing to viewers👇
"For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly and failed to ask necessary questions. We owe our viewers an apology”
