Journalists, do your jobs
Colleagues in the media: If you are regurgitating extremist/alarmist rhetoric painting these students as violent and hostile without doing actual journalism and stepping foot on campus, you're helping to make the situation more dangerous.
I am a professor and as of today, I quit my position as Artist-in-Residence #ColumbiaUniversity which I have served for the past two years. I am an Associate Professor at Hunter College and in support of the courageous student protestors at Columbia, I cannot in good conscience..
I am very very proud of Columbia students for taking a stand. I have never felt prouder to be an alum of the university. I wish I could be there to support but the campus is closed lol.
laughing abt how journalism can sometimes just be distilled down to constantly following up with people who are actively ghosting you and hoping you'll break them down eventually
“So admin, what are you going to do?” the Spectator editorial board asks in criticism of Shafik’s handling of campus activism following her April 17 congressional hearing. “Suspend more students until your entire student population falls into line?” l8r.it/HBc2
I remember when Columbia invited me to give a talk on authoritarianism and dissent in the former Soviet Union and I described…the type of things Columbia is doing to its student protesters now

Columbia Journalism School is committed to a free press. If you are a credentialed member of the media and have been denied access to campus, please send us a DM. We will facilitate access to campus.
The most fulfilling part of my job is when the stories I'm fortunate enough to tell have real impact. Last year I did a project on the veterinarian shortage. This year the General Assembly passed two items to help with the shortage: courier-journal.com/story/news/pol…
Note the applause at the UNSC after the Gaza ceasefire resolution passed This is extremely uncommon Last time this happened was when de Villepin gave a historic speech against the Iraq war in 2003 It reflects the immense exasperation with Biden's efforts to keep the war going
“Last week, Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Mhawish, who contributed to this report, was told that he and his family, including his two-year-old son, had been diagnosed with malnutrition, the condition that precedes starvation.” aljazeera.com/news/longform/…
More than 70 news organizations and journalist associations - including NPR @NAHJ @aaja @ARIJNetwork @politiken - have now signed a letter in solidarity with Palestinian journalists. The letter is still open for signatories. 🖊️cpj.org/2024/02/news-o…
Report for America, which funds of hundreds of local journalists, will no longer support positions at Gannett, Alden, or any newspapers owned by private equity or hedge funds because "that business model isn’t the future for robust local news." journal-isms.com/2024/03/j-grou…
Thanks @mitchkokai, @dawnbvaughan, Michael McElroy of @CardinalAndPine. @musher_01 of @CPublicPress debuted on State Lines (Great Job!) My peace sign is in honor of @Bode4Senate, who - for some reason - has made this a "thing" w/ our weekly photo #ncpol @dreakcorona @MyPBSNC

The Gaza reporting Alice and her colleagues at @theintercept have done over the last 4-5 months has been vital. I’m not exaggerating when I say that the loss of these voices from the (morally anemic) American journalistic landscape right now—as Gaza coverage dwindles—is seismic.

There’s a lot of bad news about layoffs and the state of media right now. But it’s also the season for new internships, fellowships, and opportunities for emerging journalists. I started this list for my Book and Media Studies students at @UofT and it makes sense to share it. +
This many news layoffs during an election year when AI is better than ever and disinformation spreads like wildfire makes my stomach hurt.
Layoffs in the news business continue to pile up in 2024 after what was one of the worst years for the media sector since the Great Recession. f-st.co/sBQzzxo

Did you know Iranian CUNY students once chained themselves inside the Statue of Liberty in 1977 to protest the US-backed authoritarian Shah, whose secret police had a computer center at CUNY to monitor them? I discuss this forgotten local history on my “Mecca to Manhattan” tour.
My @columbiajourn students are out reporting non-stop: working sources they've built over months, navigating the campus unlike any outsider, and adding much-needed context, humanity and depth to coverage. If you're an editor looking to commission them, get in touch.
Hi, newsrooms: If you are relying on Columbia-affiliated journalists, namely student professionals in various programs at @columbiajourn, for exclusive, inside-campus coverage of protests and events, it is common (industry) courtesy and standard to compensate them for their work.
I wasn’t certain about the claims that @ShaiDavidai was a billionaire nepo baby until this grown man did a toddler stomp about how, during a genocide, it is WE who are not OK.
Journalists, do your jobs
A pro-Israel organization offered payment to individuals who can blend into protests at Columbia University, specifically seeking those with keffiyehs and “Middle Eastern appearance” for more “deeper infiltration.”
After more than 100 students from Barnard College and Columbia University were arrested at an encampment calling for the school to divest from Israel amid the country's deadly assault on Gaza, similar encampments have begun across the United States.

My usual TV beat is food, but I'm also a current @Columbia student, and I'm so sad & so frustrated with the way student protests on our campus are being reported. This will be imperfect, but I can't watch things that are so contrary to what I've actually seen and stay silent. 🧵

I just send this message to the leadership at @Columbia University. I am going to be on campus Monday morning and I am requesting police escort. Police escort for simply going to my own place of work.
This asshole showed up at my show last night @ASE and then he shut up like a little popple because the club unlike #Columbia security actually secured those of us being harassed instead of the perpetrator. they told him behave or he would get bounced so the little chicken shut up
That toddler stomp tho, deluding himself into thinking he is the victim of genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and collective punishment
I am a professor and as of today, I quit my position as Artist-in-Residence #ColumbiaUniversity which I have served for the past two years. I am an Associate Professor at Hunter College and in support of the courageous student protestors at Columbia, I cannot in good conscience..
