"Rutgers professor Andrew Kennis also highlighted the importance of...McChesney—who along with Noam Chomsky wrote openers to his 2022 book Digital-Age Resistance: Journalism, Social Movements, and the Media Dependence Model—[who greatly] influenced his own work." www.commondreams.org/news/robert-...

The great champion of independent, speak-truth-to-power journalism, and of the democracy that can only survive if the press is free, Robert W. McChesney, has died at age 72. He fought the media oligarchs and the politicians who served them — and often won. Now, we must carry the fight forward.

“This order is a potential five-alarm fire for nonprofit organizations and the people and communities they serve,” [wrote] Diane Yentel, the chief executive of the National Council of Nonprofits.

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs. Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

“My mission as a journalist is to do right by my readers and do right by the people who the new administration is attempting to grind to dust. I won’t allow them—and nor will the brave public servants sounding the alarm on this onslaught of governmental abuse—to be beaten into submission.”
