This year, social media displaced TV and online news websites/apps as the top way Americans get news, according to Oxford’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism (RISJ). According to their latest Digital News Report, the change is happening all over the world, but "faster and with more impact" in the United States. Here's more detail and other findings from the research, courtesy of Nieman Lab.

"... we’ve been saying over and over and over again that the most important thing is telling the truth. As Mike Brock keeps saying, 'two plus two equals four' and you can’t let them get away with telling you otherwise.
This isn’t just about getting the facts straight for their own sake. When media coverage systematically misrepresents who is initiating violence and who is responding to it, it provides cover for further escalation.

For the last few years, legacy news media have been singing songs of their great social importance as fact-checking institutions that surface important information in a timely. Here's their chance to prove it. So far they've been less than impressive.
Did you know it’s not just two journalists who’ve been shot while covering the LA anti-ICE protests?
It’s many more. They appear to be targeting the press. Trying to silence them. Dissuade them from reporting on what is one of the most important issues America is facing.
Does the country want to submit to a fascist authoritarian?
Or do they want to fight back?
LA has chosen to fight back. And journalists are showing up to cover it. As they should.
Adam Rose is keeping a running tally on a thread on Bluesky. Highly recommend checking it out.
here’s some of the injured:
Ryanne Mena, shot with pepper balls
Sean Becker-Carmitchel, hit multiple times
Anthony Cabassa hit in face with chemical munition
Ryanne and Sean were hit again the next day, with a tear gas cannister
No name has been given but reports of someone from KTLA being hit with less lethal ammo and going to urgent care
Lauren Tomasi hit with less lethal ammo
Nick Stern shot with less lethal ammo and requires emergency surgery
These people were clearly identifying themselves as members of the press
They were there to do their jobs
And at least in the case of Lauren Tomasi, there’s video evidence which appears to show an officer taking clear aim and firing directly at her
Say their names.
Speak up.
The public need to know the risks the press are taking just to attempt to bring truth to the masses.
The Regime have been attempting to silence, sue and throttle the press since day one.
We shouldn’t tolerate any direct attacks on them.

The BBC is shocked when Israeli soldiers – illegally occupying Syria – identify its film crew, point guns at their heads, strip-search them, then blindfold and interrogate them.
Might it encourage the BBC to report the systematic murder of Palestinian journalists in Gaza?
