It's mind-blowing to me how someone who is clearly a smart engineer & biz person can totally misunderstand how media and human communication works.
Mainstream media will still thrive, but increased competition from citizens will cause them to be more accurate, as their oligopoly on information is disrupted

Amazing summary by the always brilliant @ByDonkeys

A genuinely beautiful story about a little boy who grew up to support sending refugees to Rwanda.
I’m standing to be the next leader of the Conservative Party and your Prime Minister.

Fantastic initiative from @VonnegutLibrary, in defence of a book that every human being should read. #slaughterhousefive
.@Moms4Liberty successfully got Slaughterhouse-Five banned in a school district in Florida. So it goes.
In response, we are giving up to 1,000 free copies of Slaughterhouse-Five to students who have had it banned.
Read our CEO's message, in cooperation with @TheLewisBlack:
Huge congratulations to @sfcollinson, @davidjalter and the entire films team at @TheEconomist - Winning a BAFTA for their first broadcast film.... setting the bar pretty high for the second!!
"I want to thank the three courageous women who let us in their lives..."

Save this image to your desktop and use it the next time you see a shitty "Marketing 101 🧵" tweet.

I began investigating Brexit-Trump-Russia 5 years ago. And tonight, I was asked about it for first time ever in broadcast interview. Not a British broadcaster, obviously, but thank you anyway @hari & @CNN. Genuinely shocked me.
The idea that Russia invaded Ukraine two weeks ago “is an absolute myth,” says The Guardian journalist Carole Cadwalladr. “We have to acknowledge: Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014.” @carolecadwalla @hari

Until last week, Russian oligarchs could buy a British passport, no questions asked. Today, there is no ‘legal’ route to the U.K. for Ukrainians fleeing Russian war crimes. Both are deliberate Conservative government policies.
This is a little bit brilliant... As ever, Dutch pop doing it's own thing. Hakken! - What Spotify data show about the decline of English from TheEconomist economist.com/graphic-detail…
Can U.S. journalism truly serve global audiences? Not if it treats them like an afterthought nie.mn/3Gl3IgF via @NiemanLab Great article building on @Zielina's thread

Looking forward to watching this.... Longest Kickstarter I've ever supported, but trailer looks amazing
DVDs of "#KurtVonnegut Unstuck in Time" are being mailed out today to our U.S. Kickstarter backers who pledged for them. It's been almost seven years. We hope you think it was worth the wait.

BBC plays on average around 20k different pieces of music every year. Where commercial radio plays on average around 5k. Accordingly, narrowing of choice & opportunity would not be to the Music ecosystems benefit. BBC’s UK’s greatest ambassador.
Classic British advertising campaigns reimagined for 2022...brilliant.
Tories aren’t working. #AccidentalGardenParties @OneMinuteBriefs @Mac_Daddies Artwork not quite doing the concept justice but only had a minute 😉

Continually suggesting that the BBC can be replaced because Netflix produces great content shows how little @NadineDorries understands about Public Service Broadcasting. National embarrassment that she is running DCMS.
This licence fee announcement will be the last. The days of the elderly being threatened with prison sentences and bailiffs knocking on doors, are over.
Time now to discuss and debate new ways of funding, supporting and selling great British content. dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

Our new business @economistimpact launched yesterday with @clairemcasey addressing UNGA on #sdg progress. An incredible piece of analysis & I'm honoured to work with the people that created it #sustainability #UNGA #GlobalGoals
“As we look at our progress on the Sustainable Development Goals today, we know what we need to do, and we have the tools. The question is — do we have the will to keep to the promise of Agenda 2030?” — @clairemcasey youtube.com/watch?app=deskto… #GlobalGoals #SDGs #sustainability
