<p>One of the things I really missed about Twitter after leaving there a few years ago were the independent, on-the-ground, local <a href="/tags/journalists/" rel="tag">#journalists</a> covering <a href="/tags/protests/" rel="tag">#protests</a>, local weather <a href="/tags/disasters/" rel="tag">#disasters</a>, etc. It was a *great* way to get accurate, timely info. </p><p>&gt;&gt;&gt; I&#x27;d love to be able to get a list of local people doing this kind of work if you know of anyone on Mastodon. For now, I&#x27;ve come across this guy on bluesky who&#x27;s got good coverage of <a href="/tags/la/" rel="tag">#LA</a> <a href="/tags/ice/" rel="tag">#ICE</a> action: @ acatwithnews.bsky.social </p><p>Build <a href="/tags/community/" rel="tag">#community</a> ✌️</p>

<p>1/ Announcement: So today being a news day I might as well announce that the team at TheCanadian.Social has officially taken ownership of <a href="https://journa.host" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>journa.host</a> and <a href="https://newsie.social" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>newsie.social</a>. We have also moved these instances to our facilities in Canada. These are two important instances hosting a large portion of the fediverse&#x27;s journalism accounts. We felt it important to keep them going as the previous stewards were considering shutting them down. <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/fediadmin/" rel="tag">#fediadmin</a> <a href="/tags/journalists/" rel="tag">#journalists</a></p>
