  16. RE: mastodon.social/@grandrapidsne

    Truly sad. Killing off #printed #newspapers is not something I ever expected to see.

    #Journalism is dying in more ways than one, and I have to wonder what the ripple effect will be when suddenly #news is unavailable to anyone who can't afford the entry fee to get it online.

    The so-called #PublicRecord becomes a luxury to some and invisible to others at the same time.

  33. Fediverse, do you regularly read any print periodicals? What ones? I like having some around to have a but more print short form content to read, which helps avoid doom scrolling.

    I get The Nation (USA progressive current events and politics, monthly) and New Scientist (UK based, available in USA, science and nature, weekly)

    New Scientist also has good audio versions of their articles in their app, and good free podcasts.

  34. I've recently finished Gabriele Tergit's 1931 "Käsebier Takes Berlin" (Käsebier erobert den Kurfürstendamm) in Sophie Duvernoy's translation.

    I've got mixed feelings about the novel.

    On the one hand, the organization of the narrative struck me as clumsy both on a large scale and in certain details. Overall, the journalistic satire that dominates the first half does not fit well with the property speculation plot salient in the second half. At times, the abundance of characters combines with some minimal attribution of dialogue to make parts of the novel difficult to follow. I can imagine impatient readers throwing the book aside.

    Yet one should resist that impatient impulse, since the novel will reward the reader who perseveres. Anybody interested in Weimar Germany in general and Berlin in particular will profit from a reading. The flip side of the abundance of characters is Tergit's multiple snapshots of the cityscapes, media, interiors, outfits, and consumer goods as the 30s begin in Berlin. This aspect of the novel invites a contrast and compare exercise with "Berlin Alexanderplatz".

    Tergit's background as a journalist helped her in both in the satire of the press and also in her acute observation of social climbing and pretension. This perspicacity coupled with her talent as a maker of fiction to create the loathsome Willi Frächter. This character will not only stick in the memory but, sadly, also be all too recognizable to observers of contemporary culture.

    Readers today will inevitably have the coming of Hitler in mind as the novel unfolds. Of course, the journalists' mocking use of "Heil und Sieg und fette Beute", translated as "Heil and Sieg and catch a fat one", is now tinged with an irony that Tergit could not have grasped at the time of publication, although only two years later she fled Germany after a narrow escape from the thugs of the SA.

    Today, we might do well to consider the parallels between the media of our own day and Frächter's gleeful transformation of the "Berliner Rundschau":

    >> What you call dumbing down, Mr. Miermann, I call blooming. <<

    I'm going to give Tergit's 1951 family saga "The Effingers" a try. The idea of a "Jewish 'Buddenbrooks' " I find hard to resist. I'm not expecting her to be another Thomas Mann, but it's not unreasonable to hope that her novelist's technique had developed in the two decades following "Käsebier Takes Berlin".

    Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) was launched just over three years ago. A few weeks afterwards, I talked with journalist and editor Maria Bustillos about the book and its background, as part of the Internet Archive’s Book Talk series. That interview has just been added to the Future Knowledge Podcast series in a shortened form, so this seems like a good moment to […]

  40. Fewer Americans follow the news closely now than in 2016 – Pew Research Center

    • Short Reads

    December 3, 2025

    Americans are following the news less closely than they used to

    By Naomi Forman-Katz

    The share of Americans who say they follow the news all or most of the time has decreased since 2016, according to nearly a decade’s worth of Pew Research Center surveys. This shift comes amid changes in the platforms people use for news and declining trust in news organizations. How we did this…

    As of August 2025, 36% of U.S. adults say they follow the news all or most of the time. That is down from 51% in 2016, the first time we asked this question.

    In turn, growing shares of Americans say they follow the news less closely:

    • 38% now say they follow it some of the time, up from 31% in 2016.
    • 18% say they follow it only now and then, compared with 12% in 2016.

    Meanwhile, the share who say they hardly ever follow the news has been relatively stable (7% in 2025, 5% in 2016).

    People in every age group are less likely now than in 2016 to say they follow the news all or most of the time. But older Americans remain more likely than younger adults to do so. 

    For example, 62% of adults 65 and older now say they follow the news all or most of the time. That’s down 13 percentage points since 2016.

    The decline is similar – 12 points – among adults under 30. However, this age group followed the news much less closely to begin with: 15% now say they follow the news all or most of the time, down from 27% in 2016.

    This decline in Americans’ attention to the news over the years has also occurred across other demographic groups, including education, gender, race, ethnicity and political party. But the drop has been steeper for some groups than others.

  41. #Journalists are first, but everyone else is next. #Trump has announced multibillion-dollar #lawsuits against “the enemy camp”: #newspapers and #publishers. His proposed #FBI director is on record as wanting to prosecute certain #journalists. Journalists, publishers, #writers, #academics are always in the first wave. #Doctors, #teachers, #accountants will be next. Authoritarianism is as predictable as a Swiss train. It’s already later than you think. theguardian.com/commentisfree/ #mattgaetz #gabbard

  42. Some Basic #Facts about Language for #Political #Bullshit Artists. Erika R Alpert, PhD - As a #linguistic #anthropologist, I take a few things for granted, because they are pretty useful for understanding how and why people do what they do, and have been empirically demonstrated across the work of linguists, #anthropologists, and #sociologists for, say, the last 50–60 years. erikaalpert.com/2024/08/20/som #factcheck #factchecking #journalism #newspapers #washingtonpost

  43. 📢New Publication Alert!

    '#Saki (H.H. Munro): Original and Uncollected Stories' edited by Bruce Gaston is out now! Discover 13 stories, including 3 newly rediscovered, presented as originally published.

    The short stories of Hector Hugh #Munro, better known by his pen name #Saki, have remained in print continuously for over a hundred years.

    📚This collection is the first of its kind to present his stories as they were originally published in #newspapers and #magazines, preserving their internal consistency and contemporary references lost in revisions for 'The Chronicles of Clovis' and subsequent collected editions.

    A trove of annotations and carefully sourced bibliographical information illuminates the #Edwardian context behind the thirteen selected stories, of which three (‘Mrs. Pendercoet’s Lost Identity’, ‘The Romance of Business’ and ‘The Optimist’) were only recently rediscovered.
