This filter's called dramatic cool, a good description of Evan Gershkovich, the @WSJ reporter wrongly jailed in Russia for the past four weeks. #IStandWithEvan #JournalismIsNotACrime

ALT You’re a journalist and news breaks that Pele, arguably the greatest footballer the world has ever known, has died. A colleague in your newsroom is assigned to write the story, whilst the news editor asks you to provide some news analysis about his legacy. What will you say and how will you write it?

The British government has done all it can to protect tax haven secrecy - which is making it quite hard to enforce sanctions against Putin's oligarchs right now.
So the @guardian has teamed up with @occrp and 25 other media to work out who owns what. #RussianAssetTracker

In the summer of 1938, small ads starting appearing in the Manchester Guardian from Jews in Nazi-run Vienna looking for families in Britain to take in their children. My dad was one of them and was saved. I set out to find what happened to the others.

It would be nice to think that the return of (a handful of) fans would make the football authorities and the TV companies realise just how essential they are to the spectacle and the atmosphere. But I don’t hold out much hope.

Continues to stagger that most US media is so indifferent to (if not supportive of) US's attempted extradition & prosecution of Assange even though it's by far the biggest threat to their press freedom in years, all because he's not one of them & published docs that hurt Dems.

At the famous Scotland '98 Budda Bar pre match party, Alex Ferguson stood up & said
"I used to tell the players their body is their own. Drink, smoke, whatever, it's your body.
But when they pull on the navy blue of Scotland, then their body belongs to the people of Scotland.
