Like so many other things, Iowa has abdicated it's position as one of the leaders in LGBTQ+ rights. We used to be a sensible place. Now, as a state we're driven by ignorance, fear, and hate. We are no longer nice. We're cruel. It's sad. desmoinesregister.com/story/… via @DMRegister

Last night, something incredible finally happened. @maddow did what no other news anchor on ANY MAINSTREAM NETWORK thus far has had the courage to do: and laid out how the Trump administration is doing EVERY POSSIBLE THING to assist Vladimir Putin & Russia. The Kremlin OWNS THEM.

I love podcasting, which is why I'm ridiculously sad about the cancelation of "Heavyweight." We've officially hit the end of podcasting's golden era. open.substack.com/pub/jeffin…
Uninos at Conde Nast and DotDash Meredith have been fighting for better contracts and working conditions. It's been an uphill battle. jeffinman.substack.com/p/the…
A recent letter to the US Copyright office from IAC, the parent company of America's largest publisher Dotdash Meredith, said that unchecked training of LLMs on copyrighted material could be the end of the internet as we know it. jeffinman.substack.com/p/the…
A panel of experts discussed how to save local journalism at an @IowaPublicRadio forum. The takeaway: It all comes down to donor dollars. jeffinman.substack.com/p/ple…
@popularinformation nailed what happens when reporters parrot talking points rather than asking the obvious next question. Political reporters need to do better or they do a disservice to the country. popular.info/?r=1rjzls&utm_c…
Political reporting shouldn't be merely about the horse race. This week's Journalism Monday Memo is a conversation with longtime correspondent and editor @SteveSebelius about how we can rethink political reporting. open.substack.com/pub/jeffin…
A small town in Iowa is voting on whether the strip its library board of power after it didn't ban the book "Gender Queer." Welcome to Stage 2 in the Censorship Games! jeffinman.substack.com/p/cen…
This week I talked with @shelmick, president of the #iowalibraryassociation about the pressures school book bans are putting on public libraries.
