Just when you thought the situation for journalists couldn't get worse, The Gamer has introduced a new system whereby writers are paid according to the traffic their stories attract. [@Aftermath](https://flipboard.com/@Aftermath ) reports that workers will receive between $3 and $8 per 1,000 sessions depending on their role in the story's production. Here's more.

In a survey of 25 countries, the United States was the only county in which more adults describe the morality of their compatriots as bad than good. 53% of respondents said that the morality and ethics of other people in their country is either somewhat or very bad. Since this is a new question for Pew Research, the team says they don't know whether this is a long-held view or something new. A million miles away in sentiment, but just kilometres away geographically, 92% of Canadians think other Canadians are either very good or somewhat good.

U.S. Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer appeared on a panel together at the 62nd Munich Security Conference along with Matthew Whittaker, United States ambassador to NATO. They talked about complicated issues of foreign policy and geo-diplomacy for an hour or so and it was, at the time, seen as an uncontroversial, non-newsworthy conversation. Yet a few days later, the press was full of stories about their slip-ups and lack of knowledge. Emily Horne, a former National Security Council and State Department spokesperson, did a deep dive into what had happened. What she found? Stories from "pink slime" sites — local news publications that are largely funded by right-wing dark money groups — picked up and "laundered" into real news by POLITICO, The New York Times and more.

Mastodon (npub163h…mv0n) is changing course when it comes to how people join the platform.

HI Jeff (npub1r3c…leyj)! We have federated many of our Flipboard accounts, which allows you to follow them in the fediverse. Here's an up-to-date spreadsheet of which accounts are available. There typically isn't much conversation/dialogue with publishers because they use RSS to add their content to Flipboard. However one advantage is that their content is typically organized topically into Magazines (for example, [@theverge](https://flipboard.com/@theverge ) is the main account, whereas [@science-news-theverge](https://flipboard.com/@theverge/science-news-itqojh86z ) is just the science coverage). That means your entire feed won't be flooded with every single thing an outlet publishes if you follow the account and you can just check out the things you're interested in.

Yes! The Flipboard/Surf Slack channels were popping!

"Have you followed this whole open social web movement basically the what, what Blue Sky is or Surf is? Yeah. I mean I, to me that's here, here is now what I think is the top thing. We need to require these of these big tech platforms. They need to be compatible with the open social web. They, they should be required by law. If you're X, if you're Facebook, if you're TikTok to be compatible with the open social web, what does that mean? Now I can take all my followers, all my contacts from those other platforms and construct my own social media graph where I don't have to have the algorithmic chunk."

Open social media has a new fan: U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna. The congressman for California's 17th Congressional District appeared on Kara Swisher's "On" podcast last week and talked about Bluesky, Surf (npub1ekk…vy6m), and the importance of being able to construct your own social graph, take your followers where you go, and opt out of algorithms.

Google search traffic to publishers declined globally by a third last year, according to new Chartbeat data. In the U.S. only, referrals from organic Google search were down by 38% year on year. "The report noted that publishers that specialise in lifestyle or utility content such as weather, TV guides, or horoscopes were more likely to have seen traffic declines, linking it to the arrival of Google’s AI summaries at the top of search results from 2024." Here's the full story from Press Gazette.

Here we go again," said a fellow politics reporter to @theindependent@flipboard.com's Andrew Feinberg when Trump took office a year ago. Here's his story on how the second Trump term has differed from the first — where once he and the rest of the press pool benefited from the famously leaky White House, they are now treated as "the enemy of the people" by Trump and those he surrounds himself with.

"If it doesn't spread, it's dead." For Nieman Lab, Mark Coddington and Nick Matthews take a look at what news people share on social media, what they don't, and how they decide. "In smaller, closer networks, users are more attentive to pleasing their audience and maintaining relationships, carefully weighing the potential impact of each story," a new survey found. "In larger, more public-like networks, these concerns are less pronounced, as it becomes impossible to satisfy every participant." What's your attitude to sharing news on social media?

2025-11-25T19:15:31Z

How do conspiracy theories develop and proliferate, and what are the best tactics to quash them? Extensive research focused on Europe, led by a team at King's College London, indicates that it depends where you are. In the U.K., concerns over COVID lockdowns led to conspiracy theories about restriction of movement in "15-minute cities." In the Baltic states, fear of hidden elites is fueled by memories of Nazi and Soviet occupation.

"These ideas are spreading in all parts of society. If we want to tackle the problem of conspiracy theories, it’s not enough to turn off a particular pipeline, such as putting restrictions on a specific social media platform or shutting down someone’s account," says Professor Clare Birchall, who led the research. "We need to think about structural problems in society as well as the business models of platforms. And instead of focusing on why people don’t trust institutions and politicians, we should work on making them worthy of trust."

Nine months, and many executive orders later, how is it going? Nieman Lab's Joshua Benton says the new name hasn't stuck in media, or in general use — to the extent that a Trump-loving retirement community in Florida refused to rename Gulf of Mexico Drive to Gulf of America Drive.

Here's the official announcement. It makes no reference to whether politics reporting will continue, sating: "As a dedicated pillar on Vogue, Teen Vogue will focus its content on career development, cultural leadership and other issues that matter most to young people, according to the publication." Lex McMenamin, the magazine's only politics reporter, announced on Bluesky earlier today that she has been laid off, along with multiple other staffers.
