Sonja Mäkelä, Hbl 23.5. "I mitten av maj sköt polisen en 68-årig man till döds i hans lägenhet i Husby, enligt många startskottet till våldet. Brodern till mannens finska hustru kritiserar polisen."
Cross-posted with TomDispatch.com; Huffington Post 20.12.13: "...the article by Andy Soltis accompanying the [Murdoch owned New York] Post headline last week began quite inaccurately. “A U.S. drone strike targeting al-Qaeda militants in Yemen,” went the first line, “took out an unlikely target on Thursday -- a wedding party heading to the festivities.” Soltis can, however, be forgiven his ignorance. In this country, no one bothers to count up wedding parties wiped out by U.S. air power. If they did, Soltis would have known that the accurate line, given the history of U.S. war-making since December 2001 when the first party of Afghan wedding revelers was wiped out (only two women surviving), would have been: “A U.S. drone... took out a likely target.”

British Home Secretary Priti Patel has signed off on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s extradition to the US. His legal team now has just 14 days to appeal the decision, which journalist Peter Hitchens rightly branded “a total and unmitigated disgrace” shaming Britain. If unsuccessful, he faces up to 175 years in a supermax prison.
in a syllabus from June 2017, The Supreme Court of the USA underlines the importance of the internet in relation to the first amendment to the US constitution. The internet's forums are decribed as "what for many are the principal sources for knowing current events, checking ads for employment, speaking and listening in the modern public square, and otherwise exploring the vast realms of human thought and knowledge."

Jacobin, Januari 2024: Om tonårstidningen Teen Vogue som läses av mer än 8 miljoner: "Även om de exakta siffrorna är omtvistade är en sak helt klar: långt fler vuxna - mestadels millenniegenerationen, även när vi är på väg in i medelåldern - läser tonårstidningen som kallar sig "den unga människans guide till att erövra (och rädda) världen" än tonåringar."
"Most damningly, just 1.7 percent of their May 2018 audience was 17 or younger. Only 2.6 percent were 18 to 24 years old. At the absolute most generous estimate, in Teen Vogue’s digital audience — the only audience they still have after they shelved their print edition with a final copy featuring Hillary Clinton on the cover — 1 in 20 readers is an actual teenager."
According to Adobe, after about 20 minutes of listening to a voice, users can make the voice say whatever they want just by typing it out. Comedian and director Jordan Peele hosted the event and Adobe tech Zeyu Jin demoed the process by editing an interview with Peele’s comedic partner Keegan-Michael Key. Jin took existing audio of Key, then used the software to make him talk about making out with Peele instead of his wife.

about a scientific paper published last week, showing that the chances of simultaneous crop losses in the world’s major growing regions, caused by climate breakdown, appear to have been dangerously underestimated. In mediaworld, a place that should never be confused with the real world, celebrity gossip is thousands of times more important than existential risk.
Papiravisene hiver etter pusten. Tradisjonelle medier er på vikende front, og nye medier til høyre og venstre presser seg på. Høyresidens alternative medier knuser venstresidens i antall lesere. Hvem er de og hvor mange når de egentlig ut til?
There is a hunger for authentic voices—not the same handful of pundits circulating through all the media networks who know so little about so much, explaining the world to us and getting it so wrong. - 2016/04/28

"Var tredje lokalredaktion har försvunnit de senaste tio åren och fler är att vänta, enligt en rapport från Södertörn. Två säregna redaktioner - kultur och ledare - försvann. Bonniers och med dem den liberala hegemonin stärkte ytterligare greppet.
Kulturminister Alice Bah Kuhnkes första åtgärd måste vara att tillsätta en haverikommission vid sidan av en mediautredning. Det är mer än ett bogvisir som har lossnat. Hela demokratin är på väg ner i djupet och vi med den."
The intervention by a state TV employee underscored how dissent is seeping into the public sphere in Russia, despite the Kremlin’s crackdown on anyone who challenges its official narrative of the invasion.

"It’s a bleak new world that has such virtual girlfriends in it. "
Chatbots by major influencers like Amouranth and Caryn Marjorie let fans pay by the minute for virtual interactions – here, an expert on parasocial relationships walks us through the risks.
Dr David Giles, who specialises in media psychology at the University of Winchester [on parasocial relatioships]. “Typically these are between media figures and members of the audience. The media user knows the media figure intimately, but s/he doesn’t exist for them (other than as part of a homogeneous ‘audience’).”
To some extent, social media has complicated this definition, since audiences have more access to media figures, and can talk back to them by leaving Instagram comments or typing in a Twitch chat. “I’ve always argued that we should understand relationships as existing on a spectrum, in which ‘social’ and ‘parasocial’ are the endpoints,” Giles adds. “So a relationship can be ‘partly parasocial’ – like many with vloggers, influencers etc. Fully parasocial would be something like a relationship with a fictional figure (who has never existed) or a dead human (like Elvis).”
French television journalist Edouard Perrin has been investigating tax issues for more than three years, and broadcast his first program on the Luxembourg Leaks documents in 2012. Here he reflects on being the first journalist to work on the files, and how the story has grown in collaboration with ICIJ and its media partners.
