Hey some nerd (me) is quoted here in this Columbia Journalism Review story about how low-power FM radio stations weathered federal funding cuts by being too small to be eligible for federal funding... in contrast to NPR. The invulnerability of the truly grassroots? 📻💚

“We have spent so much of this year watching this weird shame cycle of self-flagellation by the White House press corps, who is saying that they didn’t dig into Joe #Biden’s decline aggressively enough or early enough, and now seem intent on repeating that exact set of mistakes and blind spots in their reporting on Donald #Trump.”

The Fight for Free Speech Goes Corporate
As Paramount prepares for a merger, the Freedom of the Press Foundation stands to challenge the company for capitulating to Trump. Will it work?
July 25, 2025, By Kyle Paoletta
Sign up for The Media Today, CJR’s daily newsletter.
Early this month, as soon as the news broke of Paramount’s decision to pay President Donald Trump’s foundation sixteen million dollars to settle a lawsuit against CBS News, the Freedom of the Press Foundation moved to take legal action. The FPF, as it’s known, tracks and resists government infringement on the news media. It’s also a Paramount shareholder, prepared to push for those interests with corporate muscle. Trump’s case, and the response of Paramount’s board, immediately set off alarm bells, as the company was in the midst of pursuing an eight-billion-dollar merger with Skydance, a Hollywood studio, that required approval from the Federal Communications Commission. “They’re essentially making a handshake deal with Donald Trump,” Seth Stern, the FPF’s advocacy director, told me. He and the FPF’s legal team believed that such a deal could be a violation of federal bribery laws. And, he noted, Shari Redstone, Paramount’s controlling shareholder, stands to make two billion dollars from the merger. “I would think that, regardless of what Shari has to offer the rest of the board,” Stern said, “the prospect of potential prosecution for bribery would be something they would think quite hard about.”
Now it’s clear that Paramount’s board has decided the risk of prosecution is well worth a multibillion-dollar payday. On Thursday, the FCC signed off on the Skydance merger, clearing a path for its completion. “Americans no longer trust the legacy national news media to report fully, accurately, and fairly. It is time for a change,” Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, announced, praising the deal for its commitment to “unbiased journalism” and assurances that “discriminatory DEI policies” will end. But when I spoke to Brenna Frey, a lawyer for the FPF, in the wake of the settlement announcement, she was incensed. “This is an affront to the shareholders of Paramount, but it’s also an affront to CBS’s reporters and to the First Amendment,” she said.
In Stern’s view, Paramount’s willingness to settle had been a calculated surrender. The premise of Trump’s lawsuit—that 60 Minutes’ editing of an interview with Kamala Harris last fall represented “fraudulent interference with an election”—was unlikely to hold up to legal scrutiny. “The lawsuit was laughable,” David Snyder, the executive director of the First Amendment Coalition, said. “What they were trying to attack here was CBS News’s choices about how they edited footage from an interview. That sort of editorial judgment is at the core of First Amendment protections, generally, but especially if it’s about public figures right in the middle of an election.”

I am really mad at everyone who voted for this #egotistical #idiot. Yes, I know, that probably means many of my neighbors and most of my state. But there's a limit to tolerating #destructive and #malicious behavior.

I was more surprised to learn that both the Chinese bought the blast furnaces and they hadn't already closed down (perhaps there is a case to renationalise this industry? Steel is a vital material and we shouldn't be so dependent on importing it in an increasingly uncertain world..)

🚨 Local journalism is changing—and so is how we define who counts as a journalist.
Columbia Journalism review spotlights our study showing nearly half of people in "news deserts" turn to alternative sources like Facebook groups or chambers of commerce for local news.

"Building on our previous research, the Tow Center for Digital Journalism conducted tests on eight generative search tools with live search features to assess their abilities to accurately retrieve and cite news content, as well as how they behave when they cannot.
We found that…
- Chatbots were generally bad at declining to answer questions they couldn’t answer accurately, offering incorrect or speculative answers instead.
- Premium chatbots provided more confidently incorrect answers than their free counterparts.
- Multiple chatbots seemed to bypass Robot Exclusion Protocol preferences.
- Generative search tools fabricated links and cited syndicated and copied versions of articles.
- Content licensing deals with news sources provided no guarantee of accurate citation in chatbot responses.Our findings were consistent with our previous study, proving that our observations are not just a ChatGPT problem, but rather recur across all the prominent generative search tools that we tested."

"Meanwhile, generative search tools’ tendency to fabricate URLs can also affect users’ ability to verify information sources. #Grok2, for instance, was prone to linking to the homepage of the publishing outlet rather than specific articles.
More than half of responses from #Gemini and #Grok3 cited fabricated or broken URLs that led to error pages. Out of the 200 prompts we tested for Grok 3, 154 citations led to error pages"

In a case of literal Brough justice, H&S Wisdom has completely buggered up its attempt to navigate the Humber estuary and will now be stuck outside the Yorkshire town until the next properly big tides in a month or so. If, that is, they're big enough to lift it - and they might not be.
And is it a hazard to navigation? Well not there it isn't, no...

La gauche ne lâche pas Bayrou sur le scandale de Bétharram : le cas du Premier ministre a été signalé à la justice par le député LFI Coulomme pour "non-dénonciation de mauvais traitements ou d'agressions sexuelles infligés à des mineurs". La décision d'ouvrir une enquête appartient désormais à Rémy Heitz, procureur général près la Cour de cassation qui représente le parquet à la CJR. Sans pression...

"A tiny minority of our readers understand that solar and wind power are now the cheapest power on earth. They still think of them as the Whole Foods of energy, when in reality they’re the Costco—cheap, and available in bulk.
This misunderstanding is not for lack of great environmental reporters.
But all the great reporting can’t create a new reality. That takes editors willing to repeat these things constantly"
