Thoughts on newsletters, print (!) and new words
in links you might have missed, March edition
This week saw more “churn” on Twitter as CEO Elon Musk branded Canada’s public broadcaster, CBC News, as “government-funded media.” This tag was originally intended to warn users about China’s state media, suggesting government involvement in the content, aka propaganda.
As I write this, CBC News has “paused” its participation in Twitter as it tries to argue that it receives public funding but is editorially independent and trusted. There’s no arguing with Musk, really, who increasingly seems like he has nothing better to do than tinker with his new toy.
All that to say if you are even still on Twitter, you may well have missed some of the interesting content that’s still out there, despite the chaos. My latest roundup looks at posts about newsletters, print publications (yes, they're still around!) and new and possibly controversial words.
As always, thanks for reading.
Warm regards,
Sue
