journalists: anyone ever dealt with Law No. 9 (2022) in Qatar, which is as close as they get to a FOIA statute?

there's a kinda insane — and wholly unsurprising — clause prohibiting media publication without consent in Article 16. it's also... confusing. if anyone's ever submitted a request, lmk!

told me the article needed to be wholly reframed and i ended up writing my favorite thing ive ever written. editors 💜💜
repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself
An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

The forensic audio analysis by Rob C. Maher of the 2024 Trump assassination attempt has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of the Audio Engineering Society. This is great news for visual and audio investigations! aes2.org/publications...

a *gigantic* release at this early hour: 20 thousand unredacted emails from Epstein's Yahoo email (by request only/for journalists and researchers).

these are from the same trove that Bloomberg has been going through — not the Congress-released ones.

keeping eyes peeled for the reporting :)
Epstein emails (2.5 GB)

Approximately 20,900 unredacted emails and file attachments sent and received by Jeffrey Epstein's [email protected] email address over nineteen years.

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free.

Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.

I hate asking, but I'm going through some shit (some of it personal, some of it because of a major release we're announcing soon) and if anyone can spare a little $ so I can get something to eat and drink other than survival food I'd really appreciate it. My Venmo username is mx_yzptlk

i've seen multiple very cool articles utilize LLMs to do sentiment analysis and categorization. i'm a little skeptical on, you know, confidence in the produced data, though.

isn't it, like, a black box? how can i source a black box?

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

🎁 With 6 weeks left in office, Eric Adams responded to a request I made nearly 3 years ago for the gifts he received as mayor.

The release covers only half his term. It features an engraved belt buckle, an artillery shell, dozens of books, and, yes, a box of saltines.

sometimes it feels like folks expect journalism to be an exact art. you find something and there is one way to report on it. an event happens and if you don't stress x thing they would have then you're "sanewashing." there's no winning
