*Confirmed* Congratulations to Paperchase, who have promised not to run any further promotional partnerships with the Daily Mail. They have acted promptly in response to customer concerns - this is great news in the run-up to Christmas!

Today's Daily Mail claims yesterday's peaceful protest in London "shames Britain". Share if you think headlines like this do more to shame our country than hundreds of thousands of people across Britain exercising their right to free speech & freedom of protest

Reading this Daily Mail headline - and the related wave of UK media coverage - you might easily get the impression that a teacher was jailed for mis-gendering his student...
But here's a factcheck from Reuters:
Today's Daily Mail is ramping up the anti-woke paranoia with some strikingly violent imagery. Is this really what

Just received notification from the Mail on Sunday that, in a week in which I have received death threats, they are tomorrow going to publish my private address.
*Confirmed*: Naked Wines have decided to end advertising with both the Spectator and the Daily Mail following customer feedback. Congratulations to everyone who got in touch with them & to Naked Wines for their leadership on this issue!
Hi

we're sorry to say that your ads have been spotted showing up on GB News. Surely this isn't the kind of message you'd want to be aligned with?

While Twitterverse rejoices/outrages about Suresh Chavhanke's "UPSC Jihad" show from being censored, Sudarshan TV did a hateful show about how they weren't able to do a show.

@RNLI
- this week they threatened to publish the address of a pro-democracy lawyer who's already had death threats. This is not a brand-safe environment for any responsible company. We'll be naming every advertiser tomorrow.
The Mail on Sunday having categorically stated that they were going to publish now say "the item about your client has not made the final draft of [X]" (I do not intend to name X). They have asked me to delete my tweets, but I will not.
In the week that Meghan Markle spoke candidly about the human impact of toxic UK newspaper stories, the Sun has published this bizarre tirade.
Surely

This is an inaccurate headline that will only fuel community concerns.
The decision to cover the memorial was taken by park authorities, not the police.
As the paper’s own article makes clear, it is a precaution Royal Parks have taken for a number of different events.
From India to Brazil, across Europe, the US & Australia, consumers are calling on advertisers to stop funding media that fuel hatred - and brands are responding. The campaign for ethical advertising is now a global movement

Hi Mark. Thank you for raising this with us. Only a tiny percentage of our advertising is through GB News as part of a wider advertising package. This package has now been reviewed and will no longer include GB News - Louis
Did you know that the "anti-woke" media narrative is regularly promoted by the Russian Government's notorious international propaganda channel RT? It's perhaps worth reflecting on why they might be so keen to push this...
OpIndia is notorious for publishing toxic content like this. Now the Guardian is having to appeal to them to end their public attacks on a respected Guardian reporter.
If you work in advertising, today would be a good day to exclude from your online ads:
Dear Ms. Mehta - in the interests of transparency for your followers, here is the email you mention. We simply ask you (again) politely to refrain from making personal attacks on our reporter on your site and on social media
Hi
@Latrobe

On their website

Yet their advertising funds this:
Despite what the Daily Mail's headline might imply, the defendant was jailed for contempt of court, after defying a High Court order not to attend his workplace while under suspension pending the outcome of a disciplinary review:
"When Bouzy tweeted that Bot Sentinel would be launching an investigation into anti-Sussex accounts on Twitter, he became the target of a full-fledged harassment campaign unlike anything he or his team had experienced before"

Britain needs a media that tells the truth, and reports accurately & fairly. We urgently need to address the crisis of poor quality journalism in the UK press:
Britain urgently needs a media that informs rather than misleading us. It's no surprise that the UK press has regularly been found to be the least trusted in Europe
If you've wondered why the UK news industry has such a problem with institutional racism, it's worth remembering that the industry's Editors Code guidelines have a whole section spelling out that comparing African migrants to "cockroaches" is acceptable:
After struggling to attract major advertisers amid concerns over its content, GB News is now lashing out at (checks notes) the UK advertising industry...
When Europe's biggest LGBTQ+ rights organisation is being repeatedly attacked by the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, Times, Telegraph *and* Spectator, that's both a testament to the power of their work and a sad indictment of the state of the UK media industry...

If it's OK for the Sun to urge the government to stop funding the BBC, then it's OK for everyone else to urge advertisers to stop funding the Sun - right?
There are 66 million people in the UK. Less than 1.4m buy the Daily Mail on any given day. Only 10% of Brits think the Mail has a positive influence on our society. The Daily Mail does not speak for Britain.

If you've tweeted about GB News and are now getting loads of abuse from Twitter accounts with long strings of numbers in their name, this may be worth a read...
