Dear Germany, do I have a #newyearsresolution for you: in 2020, root out the nazis infiltrating your political and cultural institutions before its too late. Every single month of 2019 had a scandal showing that the situation is getting desperate. Here's a recap: [THREAD]

So happy to see this recognition for the #BorderGraves investigation, a crossborder, multi-team look at how Europe’s border policies take lives, and erase the chances for their memories to live on. Thank you @EuroPressPrize ! Read here:

@AlecMacGillis It’s medically accurate that non-binary and trans people with uteruses can get pregnant, it’s weird that undisputed medical facts are so offensive to people rather than the actual headline. Thanks for helping tho!

@KennethMSweeney @BILD It’s got to be at least defamation and also seems like a reasonable argument for incitement. The fact she got no right to respond certainly violates press standards.

One last thing for #WorldPressFreedomDay : the EU still arbitrarily denies visas to foreign journalists, shaping int’l journalism in favor of those who are allowed to follow the story across borders. This while chiding others about suppressing the media.
Why Visa Privilege is a Press Freedom Issue - Unbias The News

Being able to leave your country is an indispensable professional necessity for journalists - wherever they are based.

Verstößt #Israel mit Angriffen auf Ziele im #Gazastreifen gegen das #V ölkerrecht? Nein, sagen Juristen. Denn selbst zivile Objekte wie Kliniken dürfen attackiert werden, wenn die Gebäude von bewaffneten Gegnern missbraucht werden.

Special notice to people who hire freelancers: you have to pay invoices even when its summer and you're on holiday! Sending people through a maze of out-of-office replies to get paid for work you deemed urgent just a few weeks ago is not good business practice.

One big takeaway from #ijf22 is that some of the issues we at @Hostwriter and many others have been saying for years are starting to be taken up by the broader journalism community re: local journalists (+fixers), structural inequality and collaboration. ⬇️

Exactly, and it’s pretty damning for the industry that German journos aren’t acting more curious. Could my landlord report me bc he wants me out? How will the government locate all foreigners’ social media accounts and access their activity? Will EU citizens be monitored too?

Die Regierung sollte konkretisieren welche Arbeitsaufwände geplant sind. Kann man z.B. unbeliebte Mitarbeiter per Online-Formular für Terrorverherrlichung anschwärzen, werden staatliche Scroll & Petz-Behörden ausgebaut, oder läuft das über staatlich geförderte Trägervereine?
