There will come a time, maybe even in the next few days,
when at least some of our top newsroom leaders will acknowledge the growing mountain of evidence before them
and reach the obvious conclusion that Donald Trump’s actions have precipitated a full-fledged constitutional crisis.
They will recognize that through his unconstitutional executive orders,
his rampant law-breaking,
and (new!) his defiance of court orders,
he is acting as if he alone is the government.
And they will see how the other branches are either unwilling or unable to restrain him.
Assuming they are not immediately fired by their corporate bosses for insubordination,
they will then call a #staff #meeting or send out a #memo, to share their conclusion.
But what then?
What will those newsrooms start to do differently❓
I hope our top journalists have thought this through already, but I fear they have not.
As it happens, I have some ideas.
The first essential step is to fully and intentionally go into crisis mode.
💥That means constant, round-the-clock, top-of-the-homepage coverage until the crisis is resolved.
#Oliver #Darcy, in his media newsletter #Status, did a marvelous job last week of describing what the media’s response to Trump’s actions should be.
“Think about how it covers natural disasters and terror attacks,” he wrote.
✅“It’s time to break out those six-column front page headlines and interrupt regular programming with special broadcast news reports.”
Crisis coverage requires clarity and focus:
💥During a crisis, you don’t argue about whether there is a crisis or not. You focus on getting through it.
Crisis coverage also requires a dramatic change in language.
✅No more euphemisms and passive voice. It’s time for strong words and active verbs.
It requires authoritative reporting.
✅No splitting the difference between two sources when one of them is misinformed or deliberately misleading. Accurate information is essential in a crisis.
It requires big-picture thinking:
✅What are the consequences of this crisis? Who will it affect and how?
It requires profiles of the victims.
It calls for regular assessments of the response.
Who’s helping? Who’s hurting? Who’s proposing solutions?
Whose ideas are just making it worse?
✅It requires digging into the motives of the people who are making it worse.
And this is minor, but it necessitates calling things by their name:
Bold rubrics like “Democracy in Crisis” or “America Under Siege”
— not “Trump Administration.”
Identifying something as a crisis is the opposite of accepting it as the new normal
— and that’s entirely the point.
🔥This can’t become the new normal. Our democracy won’t survive

Good morning and happy Thursday #Fediverse friends!

How are we all doing today and what are the plans for the day today?

For me, I'm starting work in just over an hour. I took yesterday off, so I'm hoping today will be nice and slow.

I do have a company wide All Hands meeting from 11:30am EST - 1pm EST, so that should be interesting to see how things are going.

Not much else is planned, as I of course work until 8pm EST, so it'll just be a time to rest and relax afterwards.

An image that appears to be a chalk board. The words Happy Thursday are written in white chalk, there is a yellow sun in the top right, blue coffee cup on the bottom and what appears to be an orange bowl of oatmeal in the top left corner.

Do you ever feel like you could be more productive if only you were involved in a few more meetings every day?

Don't worry! The Bureau of Macro-Management has announced new guidelines encouraging daily Stand-Up Calls, followed by two Sit-Down Meetings, and at least three Squat Conferences.

Chefin der Produktmanager fummelt an meinem Bein und wirft mir seltsame Blicke zu, während ich den Managern unseren Tätigkeitsbericht vortrage.
Sehr ablenkend. 🤨
#Metoo?

Stellt sich heraus, dass sie mich getreten hatte, damit ich manche Themen besser nicht anschneide. Vielleicht bin ich doch zu unsensibel. 🤔

#LoveIsBlind’s #StacySnyder #addresses whether #producers will ever make a #queer #version of the #Netflix #show

The #show bills itself as “a #socialexperiment where #single #men and #women look for #love and get #engaged, all before #meeting in person”. They must then test their #relationships in the real #world, before getting #married (or not, as the case may be).
