Community is how you build trust, loyalty, and resilience. Excellent-looking event from @tinynewscollective.bsky.social, reporting back from six local newsrooms that moved to a listening-first model:
Tiny News Collective@tinynewscollective.bsky.social👂What does it take to build a newsroom by listening first? On July 30 at 3 p.m. ET, six tiny newsrooms — from rural Alabama to DC to Southern Arizona — will share what listening taught them before they ever reported a story. Register: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
Please share far and wide. 👀

Every week I gather notable links and articles that I think are worth discussing. Today's roundup includes: why news needs an equivalent to Mamdani's PIT Crews, allies in innovation, and why news urgently needs to invest in digital security. werd.io/notable-link...
Notable links: July 17, 2026
At a time when journalism is increasingly under attack, we need PIT Crews for news.

I love this roundup of allies for newsrooms in the AI age by Adiel Kaplan of the Tow-Knight Center - and I'm proud to be part of it. restructurednews.substack.com/p/we-are-not...
Surveillance doesn't improve crime or make anyone safer. It wastes civic dollars and creates new risks for vulnerable communities. The SFPD's leak demonstrates one reason why. werd.io/the-sfpd-lea...
The SFPD leaked its drone footage. It shouldn't be surveilling to begin with.

I'm not sure why @standard.site chrome isn't appearing here: the data is in my PDS and the markup is on the page. My link posts are automatically sent via @buffer.com, so I wonder if there's an issue there. Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Any advice from people who know?
Zohran Mamdani has unveiled a radically collaborative, cross-disciplinary approach to building internal technology capacity. News has a lot to learn from it. werd.io/we-need-a-pi...

“A report from earlier this year by @propublica.org identified 70 children across the US who had been harmed by teargas or pepper spray – not just at protests, but during immigration enforcement operations as well.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Jesus I hate how normalized guns are. An armed policeman just walked up the aisle of the local train I’m on and my blood pressure increased. (Not as bad as the armed police crossing guards outside the local school.) There are lots of bad things about American but the number of weapons is the worst.
I finished this tonight. Though beautifully written, it’s a hard read. When people talk about fiction as a way to tell the truth, this is what they mean. It’s a masterpiece. bookshop.org/a/7949/97811...
Did a thing and my Ghost site is now integrated with @standard.site, entirely using Cloudflare workers and Ghost webhooks (with zero modifications to Ghost code). I'll be backfilling, but new posts are saved to my PDS completely automatically. werd.io/climate-gov-...
