【八旗文化總編輯 #富察 赴中國被捕，長年出版「中國禁書」成原因？】bit.ly/3NvKxHo
對於富察上月赴中國遭秘密拘捕，各方對事發原因有不同解讀。過去八旗多次出版官場貪腐、對外擴張、社會結構、少數民族等中國敏感話題，而探討中共對新疆支配的新書《新疆》，更被認為是事件導火線⋯⋯

They made us sit through faux TED talks about their vision. But at one, when Nancy was asked where she got her news, she said she asked a device “Hey Google, tell me the news.” Said that was all she could handle while getting multiple children ready for school.

So Nancy Dubuc gets hired to try to sell VICE. Gets paid $1.5 M annually for five years. Peaces out. VICE goes bankrupt. Where is the accountability? Why are journalists getting laid off and CEOs getting off scot free? nytimes.com/2023/02/24/bus

I'd like to take a moment to highlight the incredible work done by the VICE World News team in Asia. Our stories exposed crimes, held power to account and led to real change. I know it sounds corny but it's been a dream to do these things for a living. Let me start with a big one

Hello, I was laid off from VICE News after 6 and a half years. I loved the people there and the exciting opportunities and projects I got to work on. Some films to be released soon, some hopefully to a festival near you. Thank you. Oh and let me know if you need anything.

Learned my whole career at Vice News. Learned how to AE and edit. Learned FCP7 and Premiere. Learned how to trust my story instincts. Got to learn from the best. The best EPs, producers, correspondents, APs, PAs, colorists, mixers, Post Sups. What an incredible show.

If you are paying $50 a day on weed, you are getting scammed by your dealer
Much like Twitter Blue users got scammed into buying something that has had its value stripped away
Quote Tweet
People will pay $8 for a coffee every morning to have their name on it, $10 a month for a streaming service to watch repeats of an old show, $50 a day on weed, but won’t pay for verification of their own identity on Twitter without acting like it’s costing them their life.

One day I will write an essay about how, between 2014 and 2017, BuzzFeed News was low-key one of the best writing schools in the US. It'd be a matter of listing the books, TV shows, movies that BF people went on to write. Today, tho? Today I'm just bummed.

Mission accomplished. While everyone was distracted by his blue-check removals, Musks's Twitter deleted labels that alerted users that they were reading news from state-run propaganda outlets of authoritarian governments. Potemkin news channels now free to inject disinformation.
