       1) It’s important for #journalists to be on #Mastodon. The health of a #democracy is dependent on good #news reporting and the same hold for #SocialMediaThis Nov 2022 article from the CJR indicates that Mastodon is hostile to #journalism based on the blocking of a journalism instance by 45 instances#NewsMedia #News https://www.cjr.org/analysis/journalists-want-to-recreate-twitter-on-mastodon-mastodon-is-not-into-it.php

       2) The story above 👆 makes the case for individual journalistic institutions to set up their own instances on #Mastodon. I suggested this on my #podcast linked below Alternatively passionate individual journalists could set up their own instances if they wanted to, rather than be potentially bundled with creatures from #Breitbart on a giant journalist instance. That is not the only optionhttps://www.nuttyinnyc.com/BigMedia_KnuckleUnder_Or_Revolt/

       3) Now I’m not suggesting above 👆 that #journalists go out and buy a physical server etc. There are plenty of highly affordable options out there where a service handles all the hosting etc. see the link below for details#MastodonHosting #Mastodon https://stackdiary.com/best-mastodon-hosting/

       4) Like many, I continue to be disappointed by the number of journalists that persist with #Twitter. I get it’s difficult to leave, but supporting #ElonMusk’s coffers, seems to be a particularly grim compromise for those with integrity. I’d be encouraging my employer to setup a #Mastodon instance to facilitate cross posting as a bridge towards #TwitterMigration@caseynewton has a pretty solid take at the link below https://www.theverge.com/23671036/journalists-twitter-elon-musk-media

       5) Do you have a favorite #journalist who posts regularly on #Mastodon?  If so, please add a link to their profile in the comments and why you read their work regularly?I’m a frequent reader of @anneapplebaum. Her work covers both Central Europe and America. Why Ann continued to post on Mastodon when many other #journalists faded away is unknown to me.  I’m delighted she is here.Here’s her latest, on #Tennessee politics which is descending into #authoritarianismhttps://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/07/tennessee-republican-partisanship-one-party-state/674732/
