    1/ Announcement: So today being a news day I might as well announce that the team at TheCanadian.Social has officially taken ownership of https://journa.host and https://newsie.social. We have also moved these instances to our facilities in Canada. These are two important instances hosting a large portion of the fediverse's journalism accounts. We felt it important to keep them going as the previous stewards were considering shutting them down. #fediverse #fediadmin #journalists

    2/ I'd like to thank @jeff and his team for creating and stewarding a safe harbour for journalist in the fediverse. We hope that our small team can maintain the same levels of professionalism and dedication to keeping journalism alive and well in the fediverse. #fediverse #fediadmin #journalism.

        @mike WOW! This is big news and it sounds like really good news! I’m sure a lot of work behind the scenes to get everything moved. Any further details that you can share, please do. Here’s to strong journalism and a safe place to host it.

                  lol

                  which journalists do you mean? the ones challenging the US or European governments on gaza and Iran?

                  the ones who know about epstein and kept quiet?

                  the ones who fail to mention aipac?

                  no - mainstream journalists have done nothing worth preserving

                  independent media however are doing well and are far more trustworthy - and they don't have big bosses threatening the use of AI to replace them

                        To get messages to the French Resistance, the BBC would broadcast coded messages, which were intended to go over the Germans' heads.

                        War of the waves: Media and resistance against authoritarian regimes

                        During WWII the BBC was actively engaged in fostering opposition to the German occupation throughout Europe. This column uses data on variations in radio signal strength during the war to analyse the role played by the BBC’s “Radio Londra” programme in civilian and partisan resistance against the Nazi-fascist regime. The findings suggest that BBC radio played a significant role in coordinating resistance activities against foreign occupation, but only a minor role in mobilising the civilian population against the fascist regime.
