We live in an amazing time — a Pakistani website specializing in the publication of fake news, created by AI to earn advertising revenue, posted an announcement of a non-existent Halloween parade in Dublin.

The article was picked up by search algorithms and rose in Google search results.

Journalists began spreading the news in their publications without even bothering to check it.

As a result, thousands of people came to the square, ready to participate in a parade that didn't exist.

If you have 20min to spend to document yourself about the #Assange case and why it is critical for the future of:
- press freedom;
- freedom to publish online;
- our collective ability to organize to fight government lies and crimes;
- much more..

..this short documentary by Naomi Brockwell sums it up well, including debunking a bunch of carefully crafted lies, diversions, and other bits of character assassination:

As an occasional journalist, I just love the way Ed Yong closes his latest OpEd at NYTs & couldn’t agree more. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/11/opinion/long-covid-reporting-lessons.html?unlocked_article_code=1.FE0.aHg1.KLP-3qDCnjtp&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare #GiftArticle #writing #journalism

“Journalists can act as a care-taking profession that soothes & nurtures. We are among the only professions that can do so at a scale commensurate with the scope of the crises before us. We can make people who feel invisible feel seen. We can make everyone else look.”
