Pair this thoughtfully designed infrastructure with revenue/engagement hooks for creators/communities and you have pragmatic growth roadmap to match!
Years of ‘link-in-bio’ hacking has gotten creators/communities in a poly/platform reality already.

Never write an email that you don't want to see on the next day's front page.
Never write a prompt that could be part of a credible Justice Dept investigation.
When asked for comment about the missing pages and the accusations against the president, a White House spokeswoman told NPR that Trump "has done more for Epstein's victims than anyone before him."
Re-upping this incredible scoop for those signing in for the evening so it doesn’t get buried during SOTU …
Vera said that?!??
The internet is magical.
Especially the branches remain are open, free and durable :)
And it’s so crazy how the game goes so fast they can’t even show you the replays before the next one happens.
Thanks so much John!

👏👏 to @baratunde.com doing an amazing job breaking down the pathways to protocol-based publishing with more resonant computing for a human-centered internet.
To borrow a phrase from @masnick.com, projects like Roundabout are "enshittification killswitches"

Co-sign! One of the most delightful emails to open time-and-time again ...
If you're in the right elder millenial cohort, you can both hear that projector sound ... and remember the grade you were in for the field trip to iMax for this one:

If you’re pissed about the 60 Minutes censorship, my advice is to go find your favorite independent journalist and give them some money.
Corporate media isn’t going to save us.
Reading @masnick.com resonate computing piece.
And thinking about those 300 journalists laid off at the Washington Post, what if journalists own their work in the form of Personal Data Store?
What if legacy news organizations adopted and really integrated at-protocol infrastructure?
This atlas of independent journalists just launched and looks promising. www.journalismatlas.com
You end up with outcomes like @craignewmark.bsky.social describes elsewhere in the interview. Very thoughtful and right.
AND YET ...
I deeply believe that the rise of creator economy and the possibilities of protocol-based publishing offering pathways to turn this gap around QUICKLY.
Oh boy.
I worked on Audience Dev @washingtonpost.com before we had that terminology to describe it ...
And was recruited to @nytimes.com in the wake of the innovation report that named the discipline .....
Whenever you seperate audience functions from editorial ..
SARAH SCIRE: What do you wish you had known earlier about funding journalism? CRAIG NEWMARK: I really didn't understand that audience development and related marketing needed to be a really big deal for everyone in journalism, and didn't understand that very few really good journalists were aware of that, but I've started discussing that in maybe every engagement. Also, I've only recently understood the danger, reputationally and otherwise, that effective journalists face, but I've started discussing that in maybe every engagement. I'm still directing some resources to real efforts to keep them safe.

Commenting in case anyone here knows great stater packs for when they do …
Those of us born in 1981 are joyfully getting in our exercise and preparing for what Denzel Washington called life’s 3rd and 4th quarters!

Yeah. In these moments we need as much energy on-the-ground reporting as possible.
Let the public express what it is feeling and seeing. Like this chilling reporting from @washingtonpost.com
Bill Buckner?
A nice nugget from today's newsletter:
@lenasun.bsky.social letting the facts speak for themselves quite clearly:
The reporting @indicator.media did lays out, this is the new (old?) ecosystem:
Thankful to see such clear, actionable steps identified.
Pretty amazing to see @gothamist.com, a New York based newspaper, running the feed that’s in the trending section of the Bluesky explore tab for the NYC mayoral election. A @graze.social feed, too!
This is the sort of democratized social media we need more of.
Another day and more cuts as we hit peak journalism layoff season. Join Project C on Nov. 24th at 1 p.m. ET for a live session with real working indie journos to explore whether the creator economy path is right for you. luma.com/lcbckl7j
