  2. Who does the news serve?

    #Irishmedia needs much more #transparency about the interests of media owners, journalists, presenters, and interviewees.

    Prof #EileenCulloty of #DublinCityUniversity challenges the double standards of Irish #oldmedia. They rightly denounce the failings of #newmedia, but repeatedly fail basic transparency tests. The #IvanYates scandal is only the tip of the iceberg.

  3. Watching the 1954 series: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

    It is pretty fun. I found it on archive.org. It has 39 episodes which are each around half an hour long.

    The actors play the characters very good and the episodes are pretty good in terms of story and visual quality (good rip).

    The actors haven't been in anything else of note.

  4. CW: Content warning: sexual assault, Alan Jones

    How alleged paedophile Alan Jones has been protected by the old media for decades

    This article by Shane Dowling in Kangaroo Court of Australia presents an extremely lengthy series of reported events by Alan Jones and and allegations against him. It also shows that many people in the media have known about Jones and covered-up his problematic behaviour.
    For example: in the 1970s, Alan Jones was grooming schoolboys and sending them love-letters when he was a teacher at The Kings School. This was revealed in the book, "Jonestown" by Chris Masters. He was an investigative journalist for the ABC but the ABC refused to publish due to legal threats, so Chris Masters had to go to a different publisher.
