I'm a journalist and academic specializing in the future of local news. My next book, co-authored with Ellen Clegg, will be called "What Works in Community News: Media Startups, News Deserts, and the Future of the Fourth Estate." It will be published by Beacon Press in early 2024. Follow our updates at our website and podcast as well as my blog, Media Nation, both in the links below.

New at Media Nation: Another Mass. judge orders a magazine to turn over its reporting materials. Plus, Apple and Microsoft join Google in caving on the "Gulf of America," BuzzFeed may unveil a Twitter alternative and Zuckerberg returns to his hot-or-not roots.

You'll see that our free, all-day conference at Northeastern, "What Works: The Future of Local News," is "sold out." Please register anyway. People will be coming in and out all day, and anyone who adds their name to the waitlist should have no problem getting in. It's this Friday, March 15. #journalism #LocalNews

Why are our local media united in referring to the #MaPoli tax cuts as "tax relief"? It's an unnecessary package, mainly skewed toward the rich, that will offset the ballot question we just passed to try to meet some real needs in schools, transportation and social services.

The gold bullion really adds a nice old-school touch to the Menendez scandal.

I've heard a lot of people say we should be better than to mock Trump's weight. Here's the thing: What we're mocking is that he lies about everything, the important and the unimportant, the public and the private. He is incapable of speaking the truth. That's what we're mocking.

Checking in with The Review Crew (in collaboration with @npub1mxzd...hhv9), MassHorizon (founded by the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism), and the Plymouth Independent, a fledgling nonprofit. #LocalNews #journalism
