5 Threaded Spouts
It's been some days since the horrible events in Israel and Gaza began. When I first learned of it, I mentally hid & burrowed deep, knowing social media would be a contentious mire.
10 years ago, On The Media came out with a guide to breaking news.
Be thoughtful about what you amplify.

1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
• “We are getting reports”… could mean anything.
• “We are seeking confirmation”… means they don’t have it.
• “[News outlet] has learned”… means it has a scoop or is going out on limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

Honestly, folks. The former President of the US was just indicted for trying to steal an election.
He’s innocent until proven guilty.
But the indictment & what it represents make this 1 of the most important—& historic—legal cases in US history.
Don’t be numb to what it represents.

I'd love to see this place get the numbers and respect it deserves.
Can I get an Echo out there to help me find my former pals from there?
