Ghosting the News : Local Journalism and the Crisis of American Democracy
"An excellent introduction to the essential problem of our republic.With a wake-up call like this one, we still have a chance." —Timothy Snyder, author of On TyrannyGhosting the News tells the most troubling media story of our time: How democracy suffers when local news dies.From 2004 to 2015, 1,800 print newspaper outlets closed in the US.One in five news organizations in Canada has closed since 2008.One in three Brazilians lives in news deserts. The absence of accountability journalism has created an atmosphere in which indicted politicians were elected, school superintendents were mismanaging districts, and police chiefs were getting mysterious payouts.This is not the much-discussed fake-news problem—it's the separate problem of a critical shortage of real news. America's premier media critic, Margaret Sullivan, charts the contours of the damage, and surveys a range of new efforts to keep local news alive—from non-profit digital sites to an effort modeled on the Peace Corps.No nostalgic paean to the roar of rumbling presses, Ghosting the News instead sounds a loud alarm, alerting citizens to a growing crisis in local news that has already done serious damage.

Antiracist Journalism : The Challenge of Creating Equitable Local News
Across the United States, newsrooms are grappling with systemic racism in their organizations and the media industry.Many have implemented diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives or made other attempts to confront past and present biases in pursuit of greater equity.Are such efforts merely performative, or are any transforming norms and power structures?What would it take to hold newsrooms truly accountable?Andrea Wenzel provides a critical look at how local media organizations in the Philadelphia area are attempting to address structural racism.She focuses on two established, majority-white newsrooms, the Philadelphia Inquirer and the public radio station WHYY, and two start-ups where at least half the staff identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC), Resolve Philly and Kensington Voice.Drawing on more than five years of field research, Wenzel charts how these outlets have pursued a range of interventions—such as tracking the diversity of sources, examining reporting and editing practices, and working with community members to gain input—to varying degrees of success.Wenzel argues that institutional and systemic transformation will be possible only through the establishment of structures that facilitate holding those with more power responsible for listening to and addressing the needs and concerns of those with less.Offering recommendations for building infrastructure that enables sustainable accountability, Antiracist Journalism is an important book for everyone interested in making local journalism more equitable.

Why are Facebook Live updates and news displayed in English despite having the German setting?
Facebook Live updates and news are displayed in English despite having the German setting because the language of the content is determined by the source and not the user's language settings. This means that if the content is originally in English, it will be displayed in English regardless of the user's language preferences. Additionally, Facebook may prioritize displaying content in the language that is most widely understood by its global audience, which is often English. Finally, it's possible that the algorithm that determines which content to display takes into account the user's language settings but also considers other factors such as the popularity and relevance of the content.
