Will America’s news ecosystem continue to be dominated by billionaires or can those of us who realize journalism is the lifeblood of our democracy mount a comeback?

Join our free Zoom screening of ‘Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink’ on March 29. mobilize.us/mediademocracyproj

MobilizeSCREENING: "Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink" + Director Rick Goldsmith · The Media and Democracy ProjectWorried about the media diets of your fellow Americans, the loss of local journalism jobs - and the impact of this on our democracy? Join our Zoom screening of "Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink" followed by discussion with Director Rick Goldsmith. Stripped for Parts is the story of a secretive hedge fund that is plundering what is left of America’s newspapers, and the journalists who are fighting back. Hedge fund Alden Global Capital is quietly gobbling up newspapers across the country and gutting them, but no one knows why– until journalist Julie Reynolds begins to investigate. Her findings trigger rebellions across the country by journalists working at Alden-owned newspapers. Backed by the NewsGuild union, the newsmen and women go toe-to-toe with their “vulture capitalist” owners in a battle to save and rebuild local journalism in America. Who will control the future of America’s news ecosystem: Wall Street billionaires concerned only with profit, or those who see journalism as an essential public service, the lifeblood of our democracy? Trailer: https://vimeo.com/923029964 This film is NOT available on streaming platforms. This is a unique opportunity to watch via Zoom with Director Q&A - and be empowered with *ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE* to fight for local journalism! Rick Goldsmith is a Peabody award winner and an Academy Award-nominee. More here: https://strippedforpartsfilm.com/the-filmmaker/

🇺🇸This Is Trump’s Genocide Now

This is Trump’s genocide. Trump is just as culpable for what happens in Gaza as Netanyahu. Just as guilty as Biden was during the last administration.

Today in Labor History March 19, 1933: Nazis arrested Jewish antifascist photographer Gerda Taro and interrogated her about a supposed communist plot to overthrow Hitler. She had previously been arrested for distributing anti-fascist literature. The Nazis eventually let her go and she fled to France, and then Yugoslavia. She died at the age of 26, photo-documenting the Spanish Republican war against Franco and the fascists. Some said that she was responsible, along with Robert Capa, of inventing the genre of war photography. Capa was actually the nom de guerre of Taro’s lover, Endre Friedmann, a Hungarian Jew who taught her the art of photography and who later went on to found Magnum Photos, along with French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. “Capa” was Friedmann’s street name, back in Hungary. It meant “shark.”

@DaveKeating makes the case for the EU taking over Radio Free Europe…for its own strategic benefit:

“I and others have long been calling for EU public service media not just to combat Russian disinformation, but also to combat the Anglo-Saxon dominance of the international news media.”
