- DOJ failures to properly redact Epstein files are horrendous. 🧵👇[1/3] Except for a couple of examples that aid journalists in identifying perpetrators, as demonstrated in a beautiful little snippet of multimedia journalism from @tbij.bsky.social 🔎🤓
- ⚠️ @carbonbrief.org has been analysing UK newspaper editorials on #ClimateAction since 2011. 2025 is the first year opposition to climate action has exceeded support. (Support independent journalism!) www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...
- 🧪 @hankgreen.bsky.social is back on Crash Course!! The new series, Scientific Thinking, is in this information culture a way to discuss media literacy. He’s one of the best communicators online, and I’m here for pretty much anything he (and John) are doing. youtube.com/watch?v=Y45K...
- It’s gone too far now. I am worse off for knowing that my second most prevalent purchase this year was cabbages.
- 30 years ago, on 23 November 1995, @shetnews.co.uk became one of the first online #LocalNews websites. Today they remain a tiny outfit, but operate without a paywall, pop-ups or clickbait. Loved this editorial, outlining the ups and downs along the way: www.shetnews.co.uk/2025/11/24/t...
- 1/3 Case study: how can we have less toxic, non-extractive #SocialMedia, that works the way internet pioneers originally envisioned? Well, look no further than my old haunt @thebristolcable.bsky.social, and my new #Fediverse friends the @newsmastfoundation.org!
- 2/ Newsmast has developed apps on open source #Mastodon technology, allowing nonprofit orgs to build a custom app with an in-built social media space. This allows organisations to build an online community that is safe, independent and moderated...
- 3/...user friendly, non-extractive and non-addictive, and themed around their work (if they want it to be!) Here's a bit more on what this pilot looks like, from Good Commons: goodcommons.world/casestudies/...
- Clear, sharp work on capitalism, neocolonialism and supply chains today from @theexamination.org, @nytimes.com, and a collaborative group of international journalists.
- Lead can be recycled cleanly, but automakers like Ford and GM source batteries made by companies that use lead from unsafe factories overseas. Our investigation with @NYT shows how car battery recycling is poisoning a community in Nigeria. bit.ly/3XBhrdo
- For #ClimateComms folk, the Crip Up Climate Conversations guidance by @emmageen.bsky.social and @sarahbell85.bsky.social is an excellent resource for understanding disabled people in the context of the climate crisis and supporting respectful conversations. sensing-climate.com/news/crip-up...
- Want to know how we reached millions of people with the #GreenToGrey investigation? This week, I wrote up our comms and impact process for @tbij.bsky.social's newsletter The Spark. [1/2] #journalism #impact the-spark-tbij.beehiiv.com/p/green-to-g...
- [2/2] A centralised impact strategy alongside a diverse team produced 47 publications examining different geographical and cultural angles of the story, in 10 languages. A huge thanks to all the journalists and scientists who worked on this for months -- and to the Bureau for having me!

- Yes, mostly… but can left/progressive media not join in w “man on national platform being silenced” trope? Derbyshire wasn’t “horrified”, she didn’t even respond. This kind of spin delegitimises a good argument. Write about the Peston clip where he’s cut off! bellacaledonia.org.uk/2025/10/23/t...
- One of the most important #dataviz investigations to come out recently from @porcelinad.bsky.social*** & team @theguardian.com ***Who, by the way, published same week she also published our collaborative data investigation, #GreenToGrey. Much sleep deserved. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...
- 💚 #GreenToGrey has got to be the biggest project I've worked on, not only geographically, but in level of revelation, clarity and potential impact. So you know it's got a good behind the scenes story... My piece on how @journalismarena.eu makes this happen: journalismarena.eu/arenas-green...
- I'm thinking about developing my comms/impact process and learnings into something...if anyone is interested in chatting to me about what that could look like, comment/DM! 🔥
- Arena's major new investigation spans 11 countries, 10 months and millions of m² to reveal the scale of nature and cropland loss across Europe for the first time 👇 💚 This is the largest scale project I've worked on. Find out how to get involved (you can!) at the 'About' page: greentogrey.eu
- 🚨 NEW: By the end of this video, Europe will have lost 2850m² of land to construction. That’s almost half a Premier League football pitch. This rate of loss, amounting to 600 football pitches a day, is 1.5 times higher than official EEA estimates. This is the #GreenToGrey project. [1/3]
- Stay tuned. Can’t wait to share the latest work from the Arena team 💚 #InvestigativeJournalism #DataJournalism #impact

Together, people are organising and mobilising toward a better media future, with real answers to some of the biggest questions our news landscape tackles today. Will you join them?"

- (1/2) This ep about far-right violence in #Bristol is great at examining government’s, social media and mainstream media’s role in the breakdown of narratives around #immigration (and the narratives they’re a cover for): soundcloud.com/bcfmradio/we...
- (2/2) There is so much incomplete information in every narrative (including “leftie” ones), but I felt this did give more space for weaving a nuanced and more patient look at race, class and us making no space for each other because of whatever is going on in our own lives.
- This tracks with what we found in Bristol a few years back - see this geo-specific example from Billy Stockwell about how #heatwaves affect those in high rises, particularly looking at eg Easton and Lawrence Hill: thebristolcable.org/2022/08/is-b... #ClimateEmergency
- NEW ANALYSIS - English neighbourhoods that are home to the most minority-ethnic people are 15 times more likely to face extreme heat than the least diverse areas. Heatwaves are getting more severe – but the effects of rising temperatures are not being felt equally... ➡️ buff.ly/boWI6M1
- 🚨 Europe’s most ambitious climate plan is under threat from lobbyists trying to replace REAL emissions cuts with carbon credits… Sign now: action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-02...
- TalkTV is airing attacks on trans people without broadcasting the views of those who support trans rights. Call on Ofcom to take action: goodlaw.social/66f6a3
- Between traditional journalism and social media, we were supposed to (debatable) end up with a mix of authoritative and democratic platforms for sharing information. We've ended up with authoritarian, libertarian, superficial information systems, that are at best bonkers, and at worst dangerous 👇
- Yesterday, we - the UK's independent journalism community - launched a Co-Creational News Media Toolkit. For 2 years, @publicinterestnews.org.uk, alongside academics Fabienne Peter, Rowan Cruft and Jay Howard, worked with a group of co-creational media producers...
- ...including myself, @opendemocracy.net, @eliothiggins.bsky.social, Black Ballad and so many more to carefully consider what a 'golden mean' looks like for creating journalism that is reliable not only in delivering authority and truth (where that's possible) but also in 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦.

- ⚠️ “Do I really want to let the spokesman for Exxon annotate my journalism?” The Washington Post is experimenting with a controversial new feature in their climate journalism. #Journalism #Climate #Bezos
- New 'From the Source' feature @washingtonpost.com will allow named individuals quoted in their articles to annotate the piece with their own comments or context, according to a memo from the exec editor. #journalism www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/b...
