It’s unconscionable to keep using the SAT. New data show in stunning detail that it does little more than measure family wealth. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/10/23/upshot/sat-inequality.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Got an email from a respected researcher who's heard that Gannett has been quietly closing more weekly print papers in Eastern Mass. Has anyone heard anything? Any insiders have a memo? Discretion assured - dkennedy56 at gmail dot com. #LocalNews #journalism

@dangillmor Glad you’ve been able to make it work for you. I can’t dictate to my communities where they should be.

@melaniesill @dangillmor Local news outlets have generally embraced Facebook, only to be screwed over by Zuckerberg’s ever-shifting strategies. But organizations involved in the future of local news remain firmly planted on X/Twitter. Our @whatworks news feed is on Mastodon, but I crosspost to @whatworks_nu@twitter.com. Otherwise, no one would ever see it.

@kgoldsholl It's crap. Very few of the tech platforms have clean hands. Mastodon is probably the only one, but it only meets some of my professional and academic needs.

@Cincyblog @jeffjarvis @dangillmor I don't even care about size. It's the specific communities I need to engage with.

@admin I think the answer was zero. Of course Gannett closed and merged a number of weeklies in Eastern Mass. about a year and a half ago. https://dankennedy.net/2022/03/17/gannett-goes-a-massive-spree-of-closing-and-merging-weekly-newspapers/

@admin But they also eliminated all local news from the weeklies, even from the ones that still have a spectral print presence. They replaced it with regional news from around the chain.

I'm trying to think of how to cut back on social sharing of posts to my blog, Media Nation, and to What Works, the local news site I co-manage. I just can't share everything to six different platforms. The best way to make sure you don't miss anything is to sign up for free email delivery of new posts. And if you're old school, subscribe to our RSS feeds. #journalism #LocalNewshttps://dankennedy.nethttps://whatworks.news

Did you know that you could win a copy of "What Works in Community News"?

I don’t understand this. I got my booster on the first day it was available last September, and neither I nor my family has any health problems that drove me to do it. I just don’t want to get COVID. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/12/21/metro/covid-19-vaccine-holiday-surge/

Your weekend longish read: I review retired Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron's new book, "Collision of Power," for Media Nation. Post owner Jeff Bezos may have done a lot of damage at Amazon, but he's portrayed here as an ideal newspaper owner. #journalism https://dankennedy.net/2023/10/27/book-review-marty-baron-has-written-a-plea-for-journalism-that-isnt-afraid-to-tell-the-truth/

I'm using up my free NYT links pretty quickly, but I want to share this horrifying look at the state of the race. The likelihood of Biden's recovering and winning is nil — and that's assuming he doesn't have any more senior moments. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/07/12/opinion/biden-trump-electoral-map-outlook.html?unlocked_article_code=1.600.Ft4h.CMAUJ79_fRrL&smid=url-share
