the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

The Murdoch press is complaining about BBC bias. That's the very definition of foolish bravado.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese has responded to Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon after he called her a “witch”, saying, “If I had the power to make spells... I would use it to stop your crimes once and for all.” 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ihrv92

The CJEU will soon be ruling on whether this Danish housing policy is directly racially discriminatory (the Advocate-General's opinion says it is: curia.europa.eu/juris/docume...). The UK's Home Secretary wishes to base family reunion for refugees on such a policy.

Just to reiterate my view, having studied the history of the BBC for over a quarter of a century - as well as having worked there for several years as a journalist: Robbie Gibb should have absolutely no role whatsoever in the governance of the Corporation.

The NUJ has reiterated calls for the UK government to: 📢Establish a Commissioner for Covert Law Enforcement in NI. 📢Appoint an independent body to fully investigate covert surveillance. 📢Establish an independent inquiry into the murder of Martin O’Hagan. www.nuj.org.uk/resource/nuj...

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

Burry’s Palantir trade is roughly an order of magnitude bigger—and more interesting imo—than the Nvidia puts.

Happy Birthday to the European Convention on Human Rights, which has helped to protect #OurRightsAndFreedoms for 75 years. Here are more than 200 examples, from across the continent👇 🔗 www.coe.int/ECHR There are thousands more. #ECHR #ECHR75 @coe.int @echr.coe.int

Teen Vogue has become a top-tier political journalism authority and doing this the day before election day is just cruel.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

My article on the Jewish Chronicle and the weaponisation of antisemitism is out and is open access. doi.org/10.1177/0163...

How is ‘antisemitism’ invoked in The Jewish Chronicle? @gordonneve.bsky.social shows how the paper has exaggerated & instrumentalised the term, fueling moral panic & legitimising racial governance especially around Oct 7, 2023. #OnlineFirst journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/01634437251380153

"The people we rely on to tell the truth are being hunted." @tayabali.bsky.social kicking off our 1st panel: #EndImpunity for crimes against journalists.

Setting up for @nujlfb.bsky.social event to mark the UN day which calls for the end to impunity for crimes against journalists. The lecture theatre seats 90 - this image shows we need more than 3 lecture theatres seating 90 to include all our slaughtered Gazan journalist colleagues.

🔴 On the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, we asked families of killed journalists what #impunity means to them and why it is crucial to prosecute the perpetrators. Fighting impunity is a universal responsibility. #IDEI2025 youtube.com/shorts/vEuU9...

Nagging suspicion that the US economy is riding on a combo of: -if we just build enough data centers, superintelligence will emerge and tell us how to make money -the benefits of corruption and ending rule of law will be large and widespread -Who cares, I can ride this upswing and get out later

#IDEI2025: 📢 Allowing killers and attackers of journalists to walk free sends a chilling signal that the powerful can silence voices and escape accountability. It's high time for governments to endorse the #IFJ convention for the protection of journalists to #EndImpunity.
