I see Andrew Lawrence (comedian) is trying to be as popular in Merseyside as Sun Newspaper.

"Journalism screwed itself over by betting
on Meta and its profit-over-society peers.
Now, nobody trusts “the media” and
everyone is going bankrupt. The next bet
is on generative AI, with its inability to
distinguish truth from “hallucinations” –
fabrications that on the page become lies.
The Continent is an attempt to prove
journalism can be done differently.
Expect more of this in what our team
has decided to call our “serious era”.
We’re no longer a start-up. We’re going
to empower more people with quality
journalism. We’re going to help others
launch newspapers. We’re going to
stay sane. And we’re going to prove
that African excellence can set global
standards."

This weeks highlights are an extraordinary story about how Zanu-PF in Zimbabwe directly interfered with Mozambique's election. Plus a frankly beautiful photo piece on Addis Ababa

I have no objection to newspapers criticising the executive pay of public organisations. But I think, especially as an industry that enjoys a VAT exemption, they should disclose their own executive remuneration in any story that uses the term "fat cats".

50 years of reunification, the end of the second Indochina war, #Vietnam had a blast with a mammoth celebration. The nationalism is troubled but it goes strong. An entire day of a parade in Saigon and on TV, and we had a tank in the newspaper 🤷
Interesting, since it’s the final days abroad for us

In response to the LA Times story on AI insights and the KKK:
A long, long time ago even before social media became the thing it has, BBC Sport Online experimented with getting 'news from the pitch' - i.e., viewers' coverage of matches. It did not last long.
But the writing was on the wall. It signalled major change in what was legit news and a source. (1/n)
