"We need independent media organizations, and there are very few of them left. The for-profit journalism model is breaking. Perhaps the future is in nonprofit publications like ProPublica and the Texas Tribune, but we need more of them and we need to support them."

Cartoonist Ann Telnaes announced she quit her staff position at the Washington Post, because a cartoon criticizing newspaper owner Jeff Bezos was refused for publication. Today's cartoon by Ramses. More cartoons: https://www.cartoonmovement.com/search?query=&sort=created&order=desc

"De verantwoordelijke eindredacteur van de krant laat aan persbureau AP weten dat hij het niet eens is met de "interpretatie" die Telnaes van de gang van zaken geeft.

De reden waarom de tekening geweigerd werd, is volgens hem dat de krant net een column over hetzelfde onderwerp had gepubliceerd en op het punt stond nog zo'n column te publiceren."

Dat gelooft geen hond.

Challenge for the weekend: find 3, no wait, 2 reasons; actually, even just one credible reason why I should not cancel my subscription to the Washington Post? Given that, at the end of the day, it's all about the bottom line, the only real power that we have as consumers is to take our business elsewhere. How many subs. can they afford to loose before they realise that not just democracy, but also profitable businesses die in darkness?
