It is true that if your goal is to maximize the number of clicks on a given piece of content, you don't want to produce a 3,000-word piece. But maybe not everyone should be trying to maximize clicks! Maybe it's okay to target a smaller, more devoted audience. Indeed I've bet my entire career on it.
I get the same thing. My stories are rarely under 1000 words-I write about public policy.
Nashville reporter's detention by federal immigration officials poses grave threat to press freedom and the public’s right to know. A thread on Estefany Rodriguez: www.freepress.net/news/free-pr...
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
Still agog at this (beyond my baseline agog) www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
Jaquez Lewis similarly showed little remorse; at her sentencing last week she didn't apologize to the three victims, her constituents, the state Senate or the people of Colorado. This was forging letters in an ethics investigation. Hardly at the same level of what Peters was convicted on.
LOTR reference! That’s what I’m here for 😄
Every day they dismantle more of our guardrails and knock down speed limit signs and cut everyone’s brake lines — and eventually there is going to be a massive pileup on this metaphorical highway equivalent to *or worse than* the 2020 pandemic.
As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
According to Nielsen, 'CBS Evening News' just recorded its lowest-rated February of the 21st century, averaging 4.4 million total viewers and 538,000 in the key 25-54 demographic.
The Taliban are burning musical instruments in the name of morality. It is an assault on all culture
This is just pathetic, to be playing like this at the end of February.
🏀 #Nuggets Nation just lost the greatest stiff of all. Doug Moe officially left us for That Big Coffee Shop In The Sky, holding Big Jane in one hand and Saint Peter with the other. A tribute to a Denver lcon, via @nuggetsnews:

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.
As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.
The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.
His assistant public affairs director insisted the FBI director was not in Italy for the Winter Olympics.
US taxpayers probably pay FBI spox Ben Williamson $150,000 to $220,000 a year.

you have my stapler...
Annoying that she got picked to do a lecture named after Daniel Pearl, a real journalist. What was UCLA thinking?
Rep. Bottoms said he would take questions. He didn't. He also didn't provide any evidence of his pedophilia claims.
Turnout for state Rep. Scott Bottoms news conference on his bill to ban gender-affirming surgery for children and his claims (made without evidence) that there are pedophile rings at the Colorado Capitol. Bottoms is running for governor and has declared himself the front runner. #copolitics #coleg
Congrats! That’s a monumental success!
NEW: State Rep Scott Bottoms (R) claims, without offering evidence, that there are pedophile rings involving elected officials at Colorado's Capitol.
When the GOP candidate for Governor wouldn't agree to a scheduled interview, we met him for an unscheduled interview.

BREAKING: State Sen. Dafna Michaelson Jenet, D-Commerce City, currently President Pro Tem of the Colorado Senate, announces resignation to become director of the David and Laura Merage Foundation for Confronting Antisemitism. Story to follow. @coloradopolitics.bsky.social
A district attorney's office in suburban Denver withdrew from a veterans treatment program, whereby a team monitors veteran defendants' compliance with probation. Colorado's judicial ethics panel determined judges can still participate without the DA:
