Just been scrolling the responses to a breaking news story, and I don’t understand how Elon Musk can think *for one second* how he’s improved this platform. The number of misinformation bots running unchecked on here is insane and very damaging.

Sad to see the Pompey journalism course being axed. The name 'Highbury' on an applicant's CV was usually a big green flag - it produced excellent candidates. I hope journo students are back on campus again one day

Discovered a wild camping/fly camping row on TikTok; it’s a heated debate but “more tea vicker” is going to live rent-free in my head forever now.

Watched a TikTok news video of the Jay Slater search and now my FYP is all ex-pat Brits & Las Americas bar staff giving their Expert View of what's happened. Aka unfettered speculation, aspersions cast on family and friends, and "the Mafia did it”.

I'm at a Journalism conference. Thinking back on all the others I've tweeted thru the years... How did we manage when Twitter had a 140 char limit? (At one point, including links 😱).

What does Gen Z really, really want from news brands? panel at #newsrw: "It's as important for young people to not only see they are reflected on the content side, but also to have them involved the news throughout" @jonbir90 says having a young news team matters.
