On 12/03/23. In 1947 Tennessee Williams' stage drama "A Streetcar Named Desire", starring Jessica Tandy, Marlon Brando, and Kin Hunter, and directed by Elia Kazan opens the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, NYC and runs for 855 performances, winning a Tony Award and a Pulitzer Prize. A Streetcar Named Desire is one of the most critically acclaimed plays of the twentieth century and Williams's most popular work. It still ranks among his most performed plays, inspiring many adaptations in other forms.

National Roof Over Your Head Day was created as a day to be thankful for what you have, starting with the roof over your head. There are many things that we have that we take for granted and do not stop to appreciate how fortunate we are for having them. All across our nation, there are many who do not have the things that are necessary to everyday life. They may lack a roof over their heads, enough food to eat, or clothes to wear.

On this day in history 12/02/23. In 1823 US President James Monroe declares the "Monroe Doctrine" opposing European colonialism in the Americas, arguing any European political intervention in the New World would be a hostile act against the United States. Because the U.S. lacked both a credible navy and army at the time of the doctrine's proclamation, it was largely disregarded by the colonial powers. While it was successfully enforced in part by the United Kingdom for Pax Britannica.

I'm neither disappointed with Virgin airline, nor the man.

I'm disappointed that SBS thinks that this is news worth reporting.

Airline staffs doing their jobs; the man reluctantly complied, yet, like ordinary people, feeling unfair and making a fuss about it. End of story. Only difference is the t-shirt in question happens to be a heated topic.

When has this country's journalism standard degraded to engagement-driven mediocrity?

According to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, 67 journalists and media workers have been killed since October 7. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has reported the killing of 54 Palestinian, 4 Israeli, and 3 Lebanese journalists. Nearly all of the journalists were killed by Israel.

#AI #News #GenerativeAI #Journalism #Media: "In other words, Sports Illustrated is run by not one but two vampiric entities with markedly little interest in the magazine’s erstwhile core mission — you know, the thing that made it so beloved in the first place, doing good sports journalism — and every interest in maximizing profits at every opportunity. And they have squeezed the lemon until it was dry.

And here’s where the AI comes in.

Not as a tool deployed by forward-looking executives eager to embrace the future, but as a last-ditch effort to extract the final bits of value from the pieces of something that’s already broken. Sports Illustrated has already slashed full-time staff, spun up a content mill with freelancers pumping out content for a fraction of the price, and let editorial standards sink into the gutter. The AI play is an arrow out of the same quiver."

On this day in history 12/01/23. In 1967 Track Records released the Jimi Hendrix Experience's 2nd studio album "Axis: Bold as Love" in the UK, just seven months after their debut released. In the United States, Reprise Records delayed the release until the following month. The album reached the top ten in the album charts in both countries. The album displays several musical styles and critics saw it as demonstrating Jimi Hendrix's growth as a songwriter.

The open secret of $TWTR was that it didn’t generate traffic or clicks to target links.

It operated as a cited quote for journalists, where they could break stories, not where users followed links elsewhere.

Something that came out in the reporting we did on news outlets reporting Brianna Ghey's dead name was that many outlets did not do so, and those that did rarely made it the docus of the article.

While it's a blow to have it feature anywhere in a story where Ghey's killers didn't even know that name, it's heartening that trans people's feelings about dead names aren't being completely ignored in the reporting on this awful story. #trans #news #journalism

New Pro-Defendant Decisions Signal Sea Change at New York’s Top Court

The rulings shed light on the leanings of Caitlin Halligan, the court’s newest judge and frequent tie-breaker.
Sam Mellins   ·   November 30, 2023

A recent spate of rulings suggests that New York’s top court is headed in a more progressive direction, especially concerning the rights of people accused of crimes. Caitlin Halligan, the court’s newest judge, has sided with the more liberal judges in several closely divided cases, often casting the deciding vote in favor of defendants’ rights.

Halligan’s votes shed light on her liberal leanings as a jurist — something that was unsure upon her ascension in April — and they could herald a dramatic change from the court’s prior makeup. Under the leadership of former Chief Judge Janet DiFiore, the Court of Appeals was a friendly place for prosecutors, and a hostile one for defendants. In her final year as chief, DiFiore and her allies on the bench ruled against defendants in the large majority of cases, including in rulings that expanded the power of police to question suspects or search private homes without warrants.

That said, if everyone in the working world took the same day to stay home because we were well, chaos would ensue. We all need time alone. It is essential to disconnect from our daily routines.

THE SANDCREEK MASSACRE

At dawn on November 29, hundreds of U.S. soldiers led by Colonel John Chivington surrounded the village. Residents responded by waving white flags and pleading for mercy; one of the chiefs even raised the American flag in an attempt to demonstrate that he, too, was American. Ignoring these symbols of surrender and peace, the white troops opened fire with carbines and cannons, slaughtering more than 200 Native American people. Most of the victims of the massacre were women, children, and the elderly and infirm. After the massacre, the troops burned the village, mutilated the bodies of the deceased, and removed body parts to keep as trophies. Some scalps of the dead became props in plays that the troops later performed to celebrate, as one soldier boasted, “almost an annihilation of the entire tribe.”

The project kicks off today as part of #GivingTuesday and runs through December 31st – each participating newsroom receives up to $5,000 in a dollar-for-dollar match.

In other words, if they receive $5K in donations, we match it with another $5K!

Trusted news sources help us understand the good & bad aspects of what's happening in our communities, and help us learn, change, and get better, so we can be accountable to ourselves and each other.

On this day in history 11/28/23. In 1893 Women vote in a national election for the first time, in the New Zealand general election. Women's suffrage was an important political issue in the late-nineteenth-century New Zealand. In early colonial New Zealand, as in European societies, women were excluded from any involvement in politics. Public opinion began to change in the latter half of the nineteenth century and after years of effort by women's suffrage campaigners, led by Kate Sheppard.

Statement from the union which represents the (human) writers for Sports Illustrated. #journalism #AI

We, the workers of the S| Union, are horrified by a story on the site Futurism, reporting that Sports lllustrated's parent company, The Arena Group, has published Al-generated content under SI's brand with fabricated bylines and writer profiles. If true, these practices violate everything we believe in about journalism. We deplore being associated with something so disrespectful to our readers

We demand answers and transparency from Arena Group management about what exactly has been published under the S| name. We demand the company commit to adhering to basic journalistic standards, including not publishing computer-written stories by fake people.

We want to be very clear: What is described in this Futurism story does not represent the hardworking journalists who make up the S| Union. For nearly 70 years, I staff members have held themselves to the highest possible ethical standards. As members of the SI Union, we are proud to be part of that legacy and work every day to protect t. We expect management to do the same.

—The Humans of the SI Union

My apologies to everyone who favoured and shared this post on Monday. The link was broken and would not edit for some reason. So, I deleted the original post and reported. I am very thankful for you taking the time to favour and share. .

In the latest Healthcare Business & Marketing Insights article, I examine why it is time to reconsider this practice, advocate for its prohibition, and why it is necessary.
