    I wasn't aware of recent changes in Axios until I read the Wiki page on it, at the bottom.
    TIL:
    "On August 8, 2022, Axios announced that it had been sold to Cox Enterprises for $525 million. As part of the transaction, Axios spun out Axios HQ as a separate software company.[15][16] According to the deal, Cox owns 70% of the company, while Axios employees and its founders retain ownership of the remaining 30%.[1] The acquisition was completed the following month.

    [3]Since 2021, Axios has launched a network of local newsletters across the United States.[17] The company has also focused on growing its events business.

    [18]In March 2023, Axios fired Ben Montgomery, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, after he described as "propaganda" a Florida Department of Education press release about an event hosted by Governor Ron DeSantis "exposing the diversity equity and inclusion scam in higher education".

    [19]In August 2024, Axios laid off 50 employees, which amounted to 10% of total staff.[20] "

    “…Legacy media, this nation’s bedrock for reliable reporting in my lifetime, is quickly going the way of the dodo … extinct. Witness none other than CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” the most popular television newsmagazine of all time, threatened by the sitting president…”

    And there was a time when news was actually news, too.

  7. #DanRather: ".. If there’s one thing #Vance has learned from #Trump, it’s that #lying to get ahead is OK. If you get caught, just double down & lie some more. .. Who’s going to fact check you? Well, apparently not CBS News.”

  8. Cate Blanchett, Robert Redford – Der Moment der Wahrheit (2015)

    Etwas, das dem amerikanischen Kino einfach eigen ist, ist seine Fähigkeit den Journalismus zu feiern. Robert Redford hat bereits 1976 einen Prototypen des Genres dargestellt: Den investigativen Journalisten der quasi im Alleingang einen amtierenden Präsidenten zu Fall gebracht hat. Damals war Dustin Hoffman sein Partner. Fast 40 Jahre später hat er für diesem […]

    #Audiobooks #Economics

    Yes, #Technofeudalism is def. worth a try. It is a bit peculiar for an economics #book, reminds me of "What unites us" by #DanRather style wise, but #Yanis aroufakis tells the story great enthusiasm and conviction.

    I found this article, BTW:
