"why doesn't the media reproduce the same story of the videos made to please me?"

Brazil and the US in the same color (both electoral democracies) isn’t something I imagined seeing a few years ago

É impossível escolher a parte mais desastrosa desse vídeo, mas imagina o nível de descolamento da realidade pra comparar reajuste de salário mínimo com reajuste de malandragem pra juiz ganhar mais. Tem horas q o judiciário br não ajuda a se justificar como instituição necessária

Personally the panel I was most looking forward to, gimme behind the scenes Traitors info now please

We're starting the day with a masterclass by Paul Brown, from BBC Verify, called "Filter the Fakes". The class is designed to help young people build their news literacy and strengthen their critical thinking skills.

Starting now! BBC Academy brought BBC Verify on tour to Strayhclyde in a partnership with @strathjmc.bsky.social. We’re kicking off a series of events and workshops with 200+ high school pupils and Strath students. Strath is the only uni in Scotland hosting this event.

Is there a place for (professional) news on TikTok? Based on 99 interviews w/ young people, I.Costera Meijer, @kenzalamot.bsky.social & I find that adapting to the platform risks diluting journalism’s distinctive value and blurring it with less reliable content ⬇️ www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Here is an idea: maybe this is precisely what the Labour party should be saying, not just once obliquely between-the-populist-lines, but forcefully in board daylight?

📣 On 25 Feb, we’re excited to welcome BBC Verify to Strathclyde for a full-day educational event on campus. High-school pupils will join us for masterclasses, workshops & panels on misinformation, data journalism, TV production, careers advice & more — with contributions from our JMC colleagues.

Terrific piece this. Something that Yvette Cooper said the government would do that seems to have fallen by the wayside is to release this data *themselves*, but instead they've seemingly quit the field leaving it only to bad actors (and now, thankfully, Anoosh)

As if disliking Chomsky’s work wasn’t enough, now there’s (much worse) reason to dislike him in general. Quite an application of “manufacturing consent” by offering PR advice to a criminal

You don't have to believe that the fascists are competent enough to suppress voting everywhere in 2026 or 2028. You just have to believe that they can depress minority turnout in 5-10 cities to affect entire Senate races & the Electoral College. 2024 was decided by 120K votes in 3 states, after all.

Totally normal stuff.

🚨NEW PAPER The Logic of Connective Faction: How Digitally Networked Elites and Hyper-Partisan Media Radicalize Politics w/ @yunkangyang.bsky.social & @mikecowburn.bsky.social Online radicalization doesn't just affect the public. It also reshapes how elites & parties behave. doi.org/10.1080/1058...

It's Brazilian political lore: under authoritarianism, the proverbial "police officer around the corner" (guarda da esquina, in proper Portuguese) also gets empowered to crack down, no need for specific orders from above. Seems like the "guardas da esquina" have been let loose in Trump's America...

#OutNow in #iCS Using panel surveys from Greece and Brazil, this article shows that low news use is tied to higher belief in misinformation and lower trust in elections. In contrast, people who selectively avoid political news are less likely to vote. doi.org/10.1080/1369...

Who will be the next director-general of the BBC? on.ft.com/4oDzZWs

So No 10 was given the opportunity of a quiet week due to the attacks on the BBC and decided to be the story again by tearing itself apart in public?

One of the most revealing things in the piece is how trusted the BBC is across the political spectrum. Half of right-leaning Brits say they trust it. By comparison, only 26% of right-leaning Brits say they trust The Sun

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments: One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

As the BBC faces fresh scrutiny, what does our research say about it? Here's an updated version of a piece by @rasmuskleis.bsky.social @annisch.bsky.social @richardfletcher.bsky.social and Craig T. Robertson originally published in 2020 📱 Full piece here buff.ly/iLaMzHa 🧵 4 findings in thread

A thread on how people's use of generative AI has changed in the last year - based on survey data from 6 countries (🇬🇧🇺🇸🇫🇷🇩🇰🇯🇵🇦🇷 ). First, gen AI use has grown rapidly. Most people have tried out gen AI at least once (61%), and 34% now use it on a weekly basis - roughly doubling from 18% a year ago.

No time to read the long version of our new @reutersinstitute.bsky.social research on use & views around GenAI, information, and news in 6 countries? Then read the summary, just out with @niemanlab.org. www.niemanlab.org/2025/10/peop...

How do people use generative AI in their daily lives? And how do they use it for news? These are two of the questions we explore in a new report, based on fresh survey data from 🇦🇷🇩🇰🇫🇷🇯🇵🇬🇧🇺🇸 🔗 Full report buff.ly/mv3Jc5r 🧵 Key findings in thread
