The Christine Keeler Story - As Told by the Press
7. Daily Express, 15 March 1963
An amazing newspaper page. Alongside Christine Keeler’s disappearance, the Daily Express featured the shock resignation offer from war minister John Profumo.
The Christine Keeler Story - As Told by the Press
3. Daily Express, 17 January 1963
The first newspaper photograph of Christine Keeler, on page 10 of the Daily Express. The story was still low-key, but the photograph indicates that the press were starting to show a serious interest.
"The columnists were deeply wounded by the newly announced limits and what they portended. We had always been able to assure our readers that no one restricted what we could write. How could we credibly make that claim now? What was the meaning of “personal liberties and free markets?” Without further clarification, we were like dogs that had been fitted with shock collars but had no clue where the invisible fence was situated."

All credit to the UK’s media today… every newspaper united with the same headline and front page. Hopefully the government will get the message regarding AI, artists and copyright…
‘A true free-speech emergency’: alarm over Trump’s ‘chilling’ attacks on media https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/24/trump-free-speech-media-attack #Newspapers&magazines #UStelevisionindustry #Pressintrusion #Pressfreedom #NBCUniversal #DonaldTrump #Newspapers #Worldnews #USnews #Media #NBC #CBS
with 7.96m, 1.25m readers ahead of SMH at No7, who dropped -266k readers in January. And only 200k readers behind 7News in 5th! That's normally about a 2m audience gap.
"One of the most impressive collections of #Hebraic and #Jewish #literature today is to be found in Washington’s #LibraryofCongress. Its collection of #Judaica, started in 1912 with a gift of some 10,000 #books from Jacob H. Schiff, now has 250,000 books, #periodicals, and #newspapers. To celebrate this collection, #Brandeis University has just issued Books Like Sapphires, written by Ann Brener, who highlights a selection of the books in the library, dividing the large format book into sections that cover the #Hebrew Bible, the literature of the sages, children’s books, and so forth."
Here’s an interesting piece on the importance local news ecosystem, what happens when it fails and proposals to strengthen it.
> “ INTRODUCTION
> You can’t get more local than Haida Gwaii, the remote archipelago off the coast of northern British Columbia with fewer than 5,000 people scattered among seven communities. When the newspaper covering those communities was gutted by its Black Press owner, a lot more than news disappeared.
> Few ran for local office; the entire council of one local village was acclaimed; a major report on the hazards of a possible tsunami went unreported.
> Even sports programs went unfilled because no one knew about them. In an area with little to no internet connectivity, there was simply no longer any way to, to tell residents what was going on.”
Browsing here and there on the web, I still see "Share it on Twitter" with Twitter logo... Not sure if website owners are aware Twitter died few years ago.
Or if they just don't assume to still be on fascist social network with a X p*rn like name... 
It's a little bit similar to newspapers not assuming to talk about "X", they need to precise "X (formerly twitter)" like, I don't know, to ensure the reader understand they're not talking about a p*rn site..?
Trump repeats rightwing claim that USAid subscriptions to Politico were ‘payoffs’ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/06/trump-politico-usaid-subcriptions #Newspapers&magazines #Trumpadministration #DonaldTrump #Newspapers #USpolitics #USnews #Media
Our era is defined by the rise of #socialmedia and the death of print #journalism
The #newspapers still around have been taken over by vulture #capitalism and the managing #editor offices now shill the #propaganda agenda of #plutocracy
I don't have to describe social media's role in creating our age unless you've been living under a rock
What we need are #nonprofit #news orgs
On #decentralized social #media
Problem is, this is a big ask
But we have to do it
Now
Pentagon removes New York Times, NPR and more from workspaces as part of ‘rotation program’ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/01/pentagon-media-rotation #USpressandpublishing #Trumpadministration #USpublicradio #NewYorkTimes #Digitalmedia #NewYorkPost #USmilitary #Newspapers #USpolitics #HuffPost #TVnews #USnews #Media #NBC #NPR
@Gargron, one of the biggest #German #newspapers , the #sueddeutsche, merely called it 'caused irritation with a gesture that is reminiscent of the H****r salute'.
It's just strengthened my resolve to do without tech or apps from those companies and to get my news from other sources than mainstream media.

Faux outrage constitutes generational trauma.
I'm revisiting (and updating) posts and boost from my old account that I want to close eventually (the account).
Here's two blog posts from the British Newspaper Archive (ie the FindMyPast genealogy subscription website). These give you a more specific look into what newspapers they cover:

'Thanks to the collaboration with the Zentrum für Ostbelgische Geschichte (ZOG), BelgicaPress now offers a home page in German and more than 171,000 pages from 14 newspapers from the East Cantons, both in German and French. And that is just the start.'
"The event was well attended, including by members of The Post royalty, such as Don Graham and Sally Quinn. The toast, it goes without saying, was supposed to be a celebratory affair. Unfortunately, it was anything but."
A talent exodus is almost surely on the horizon at The Washington Post, with some of paper's top names weighing whether to leave as morale remains low under chief executive Will Lewis.
