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
@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

@charlesdelavalleepoussin Jotnalists of every stripe are represented. However its not my job to choose which ones are "acceptable" to you. My job is to provide a safe harbour to anyone attempting to practice the craft whatever their motivation.

Thank you Mike, we are going to need today's version of BBC radio broadcasts
The BBC Used Coded Messages to Contact the French Resistance - And Confuse the Germans
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.
