By far the most vital coverage during that time came from @…, who spent those chaotic nights with all hell breaking loose just roving the streets, sticking a microphone in everyone’s face and live-streaming it.
It was some of the rare coverage that actually felt like the reality I was living through. And lots of us were glued to it in the wee hours, wondering what was happening out there, wondering •who• was out there and what they were thinking, wondering if our own families were in danger.

AP says it will offer buyouts, part of pivot from newspaper-focused history
The Associated Press says it will offer buyouts to an unspecified number of its U.S.-based journalists as part of an acceleration away from the focus on newspapers and their print journalism that sustained the company for more than 1½ centuries. The news organization is becoming more focused on visual journalism and developing new revenue sources, particularly through companies investing in artificial intelligence. That's to cope with the economic collapse of many legacy news outlets. Once the…

Watched a couple of episodes of #DeArktiskeReddere on DR (public broadcaster on Denmark) yesterday (series about #Greenland's search and rescue team - though they do a lot of emergency air ambulance type work too).
It's a really gripping and well filmed piece of work, sensitive on the difficult topics too and shows really well how different authorities work together.
I imagine it would be uncomfortable watching for USians who seem to imagine some kind of stone age society seeing healthcare emergencies dealt with so professionally with such excellent equipment (and for free at point of delivery).
I also find it hard to explain that the categories and separation between "Danes" and "Greenlanders" isn't always so clear cut and I think the programme got that over well.
It's filmed mostly in Danish but with Swedish, Norwegian and quite a bit of English, so may not travel easily but it's a really well done piece of TV and if you are at all interested in Greenland, it's worth seeking out.

That kind of coverage achieves something even individual posts on social media cannot: it was not just the people with lots of followers, not just the people favored by the recommender algorithm or the tides of popularity, but instead a broad cross section of whoever was out there.
I don’t know who’s offering coverage like that in Iran like that right now. It may not exist. But even the BBC article at the top — filtered, edited, formatted, and tidied to sound like a BBC article, but still individual voices of people who are living through it — even that is welcome.
