We need to address the way journalists see social media posts as equal to reportinghttps://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2019/06/dutch-teen-noa-pothoven-wasnt-euthanised-euthanasia-netherlands-so-why-did-media-say-she …
Some people have argued that she still died by killing herself - ie removing her feeding tube and refusing to eat/drink water. But the reporting around this specifically said she died through these euthanasia laws, which is a flat-out liehttps://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2019/06/dutch-teen-noa-pothoven-wasnt-euthanised-euthanasia-netherlands-so-why-did-media-say-she …
This is great
ah man cheers! it's fucking dreadful
Last share of this piece just to say that you should all follow @NaomiOhReally who was (as the piece says) the first English-speaking journalist to actually take the time to do journalism about thishttps://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2019/06/dutch-teen-noa-pothoven-wasnt-euthanised-euthanasia-netherlands-so-why-did-media-say-she …
Ace piece and a great bit of reporting. I'd seen that story do the rounds on Facebook but no one seemed to disclose what had actually happened
ah thank you! it's really grim. i even saw it doing the rounds on twitter last night and then suddenly it took like 5 minutes of research to go "oh, this is actually bullshit?"
‘Self-styled “thinker” Robbie Travers’ omg savage Ahahah
us in the edinburgh gang need to speak truth to power!!!
Great article. I used to see a story on social media and not believe it until it was on mainstream media in the belief that they did some checks first. Stopped doing that a couple of years ago It'd be nice if the MSM would go back to checking their stories.
Fine piece. I especially like this "clarification" on the Indy website, and the text below it: "What's true" ...pic.twitter.com/1yrtXMDQUe
