Jonathan Cheng / @jchengwsj: “The arrest of the Hong Kong media baron is by far the most significant under the new national security law. Mr. Lai is a towering figure in Hong Kong and his newspaper was a thorn in the side of the city's pro-Beijing leadership.” @LyonsNotes https://www.wsj.com/...
Catherine Garcia / The Week: Media tycoon Jimmy Lai arrested under Hong Kong's new national security law
@nathanlawkc: Crazy arrests. The end of freedom of press in Hong Kong. The national security law is quashing the freedom of our society, spreading politics of fear. Hong Kong tycoon Jimmy Lai arrested under security law, bearing out ‘worst fears’ https://uk.reuters.com/...
Josh Crutchmer / @jcrutchmer: man i was really hoping i'd land a hong kong assignment before it all went down :(
@tanganzhu: This is a significant development. I am surprised at how quickly HK's NatSec Law became a tool of political oppression wielded by unaccountable officials. Vague terms in the law such as “subversion” and “collusion” can be applied to any business person in HK. https://twitter.com/...
@paulmozur: Each week it's something new. What Beijing is doing in Hong Kong is straight from the playbook of the paranoid dictator. It continues to be jaw dropping to watch this global city fall under the pall of China's hard authoritarianism. https://twitter.com/...

Mary Hui / @maryhui: Officers just casually poking through documents on desks, tho reporter on livestream repeats search warrant not yet served. @appledaily_hk employee asked officers what their search area was; no answer. Apple Daily lawyer yet to arrive & may not be able to enter cordoned-off bldg https://twitter.com/...
Melissa Chan / @melissakchan: There is something extra perverse when authoritarians round up the sons and daughters of their target as well. Jimmy Lai has shown he's willing to give up his wealth, his freedom, for his convictions. So they go after the only thing that might break him: his children.
Shibani Mahtani / Washington Post: Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai arrested under national security law
@axios: UPDATE: Hong Kong police are now at the newsroom of Apple Daily, an outlet owned by the arrested media tycoon Jimmy Lai, with search warrants, an aide said
Andy Green / @andygreensf: This has huge consequences for media freedom in Hong Kong, and with that, the reliability of it as a capital markets hub. Will US investors be getting updated risk factors regarding investments in HK listed stocks and even in Hong Kong corporate holding companies? https://twitter.com/...
@kanghexin: Hong Kong media Tycoon Jimmy Lai being paraded through the HQ of pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily to his office, while more than a hundred cops swarm through the building, openly rifling through reporters' desks and refusing to show a warrant. Unthinkable just months ago. https://twitter.com/...
Rebecca Falconer / Axios: Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai arrested under national security law
Melissa Chan / @melissakchan: This is a common tactic of authoritarians everywhere, but Beijing has a long history of this because they know it often works. For those who remain immovable despite the peril to their loved ones, the activists live with that guilt, trauma, and are permanently damaged.
Shibani Mahtani / @shibanimahtani: Monday morning in Hong Kong: police have entered the offices of a media organization that hires thousands, searching the premises under the National Security Law and the powers it affords: https://www.facebook.com/...

Michael McFaul / @mcfaul: Outrageous. Xi's recklessness and overreach continues. https://twitter.com/...
Mary Hui / @maryhui: .@JimmyLaiApple now at the Apple Daily newsroom. The reporter asks Lai what he thinks of his arrest. He snickers. “What do I think? They have to arrest me, what can I think? I don't know what I to think.” Lai said he saw the search warrant, tho unclear if it covers all floors https://twitter.com/...
Mary Hui / @maryhui: Kudos to the Apple Daily reporter livestreaming the search, who said he will uphold press freedom and fulfil his duties as a journalist and continue livestreaming until police stop him from doing so. https://twitter.com/...
Al Smith / @alvarosmith_: Hong Kong's Jimmy Lai arrested along with two of his sons and employees of Apple Daily. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

Newley Purnell / @newley: @LyonsNotes The arrest of the 70-year-old Hong Kong media baron is by far the most significant under the new #NationalSecurityLaw. Lai is a towering figure in HK life whose newspaper was a thorn in the side of the city's pro-Beijing leadership during months of massive protests.
Max Boot / @maxboot: This is an outrage and a disgrace. #freejimmylai #freeJimmy https://twitter.com/...
Shibani Mahtani / @shibanimahtani: Video shows literally dozens and dozens of cops, though most journalists are continuing to work from home given covid19 restrictions. Bear in mind: restaurants here still have to close at 6 p.m., no more than 2 can gather publicly, crippling businesses.
Steve Herman / @w7voa: Livestream of the raid by @hkpoliceforce of the @appledaily_hk office: https://www.facebook.com/...
Mary Hui / @maryhui: While raiding the newsroom of @appledaily_hk to execute a search warrant (tho officers have yet to display the warrant, per reporter), an officer asks the reporter to stop livestreaming bc the search may entail “personal data & news material.” Maybe don't raid the newsroom then? https://twitter.com/...
Newley Purnell / @newley: Police entered Mr. Lai's home and informed him that he was being arrested under suspicion of national security and other violations, @LyonsNotes reports. Police have also conducted searches at the home of a son of Mr. Lai.

Ben Smith / New York Times:
Facebook, Google, and Twitter are making the same mistakes big news outlets made decades ago, trying to placate hyperpartisan critics who are “working the refs” — The new referees in American politics are Facebook, Google and Twitter, and they would be wise to pay attention to lessons the old media tried to learn.

Discussion:
Steve Katz / @steve_katz: Important from @benyt - especially this, from @BostonJoan about halfway down: if @Google @Facebook, @twitter and the rest are *publishers* and not platforms, the entire regulatory rulebook changes. (narrator: they are). https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: Ben Smith in his new column on working the refs writes about “a reality that Facebook won't say aloud: The pro-Trump media is in the misinformation business with scale and energy that lacks parallel.” There is nothing comparable on the Democratic side. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: “The pro-Trump media is in the misinformation business with scale and energy that lacks parallel, and in part because simply repeating the president often means spreading misinformation” -@BeNYT https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Jamal Raad / @jamalraad: Top Bush administration official floated for one of top political press jobs in country. Cancel culture does not exist. https://twitter.com/...
@ceciliakang: Smart smart @benyt piece It's futile to work the refs, SV. It's look at the Times. Great kicker. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jeff Kosseff / @jkosseff: If “regulatory rulebook” means Section 230, this distinction is immaterial. https://twitter.com/...
Julian Sanchez / @normative: Apparently this complete misunderstanding of the law is not restricted to the right. https://twitter.com/...
Hamza Shaban / @hshaban: @CaseyNewton @benyt the false balance in broadcast and print journalism is already internalized in ways that make the ref working on the tech giants seem transparently obvious. Legacy media arguably hasn't learned these lessons. Fearing conservative backlash is baked into appearance of objectivity.
Anil Dash / @anildash: Though the right-wing manipulation of tech & media has been obvious and incredibly damaging for years, it's still good to see the NYT acknowledge the mechanics of it on the record. Doesn't mean anybody will stop appeasing the white supremacists, alas. https://twitter.com/...
Ben Smith / @benyt: Credit for turning that document up to @rickperlstein and his new history Reaganland https://www.amazon.com/...
Casey Newton / @caseynewton: Another excellent @benyt column, this one on how tech platforms' desire for a false balance allows them to get worked continuously by the right https://www.nytimes.com/...
Dan Gillmor / @dangillmor: This reflects an all too common misunderstanding of what the law says and does. The platforms are totally free to edit, curate, or do pretty much what they want and still retain the — very wise — protection that the law provides. https://twitter.com/...
@blackamazon: People are dying. Cops are being called and holding hours of abuse in peoples neighborhoods during a pandemic. People think that “Cancel culture” is real while millionaires send untold abuse to the most marginalized . This isn't working the ref because it's not a game https://twitter.com/...
Ben Smith / @benyt: And a scoop from 1980: Future NYT executive editor Max Frankel furious that his boss, Punch Sulzberger, would sit down with right-wing media critic “nitwits” https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Tommy Vietor / @tvietor08: This piece perfectly captures the way tech platforms have been browbeaten by bad-faith Republican attacks to the point where they're more afraid of being called partisan than of spreading harmful disinformation. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Hamza Shaban / @hshaban: After reading @benyt's column about tech platforms getting “worked” by Trump allies to tolerate misinformation and bad-faith actors, it's worth returning to @WesleyLowery's essay about “neutral objectivity” and editorial decision-making in US news media https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@mcbyrne: Why should someone who assisted W Bush host Meet The Press? Are there no consequences for enabling Bush and Cheney? She was communications director during Katrina. https://twitter.com/...
Matthew Zeitlin / @mattzeitlin: “...a reality that Facebook won't say aloud: The pro-Trump media is in the misinformation business with scale and energy that lacks parallel, and in part because simply repeating the president often means spreading misinformation. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Tim Graham / @timjgraham: Wow, NBC apparently ponders its personnel decisions based on Angry Radicals on Twitter. https://twitter.com/...
Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: Not sure how this changes the regulatory rulebook. They are still covered by Section 230 regardless of whether we call them a publisher or a platform, no? Their curation decisions are protected regardless of whether they are made by a human or an algorithm https://twitter.com/...
Ian Bassin / @ianbassin: “a reality that Facebook won't say aloud: The pro-Trump media is in the misinformation business with scale and energy that lacks parallel, and in part because simply repeating the president often means spreading misinformation.” @benyt on reality. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Bill Fitzgerald / @funnymonkey: The thing about this Facebook piece: 1. It shows that the rightwing strategy of playing the refs works; and 2.

The company subsequently hid the list, citing leaks, per this announcement (leaked to me!) https://www.nbcnews.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@rmac18: Another fun detail: The engineer, who we first reported for documenting the erasure of the misinformation strikes, wrote this internally after becoming frustrated with the company and Mark Zuckerberg. He was fired after this, though the company will not say why. https://twitter.com/...
Olivia Solon / @oliviasolon: FB gets lots of complaints from accounts that have been fact-checked, but few are “escalated” to senior leadership because of “PR risk” or “partner sensitivity” Two thirds of the ~30 misinfo “escalations” since Feb came from conservative partners https://www.nbcnews.com/...

@rmac18: What this shows is that Facebook doesn't want to be “the arbiter of truth” and leaves this to factcheckers, but when there's potential PR or advertising fallout from a factcheck, the company will cave to the loudest voices.

[Thread] A look at SC's newspaper war amid media contraction, as The Post and Courier and McClatchy's The State add reporters, sometimes poaching from Gannett — THREAD: A full-blown newspaper war is happening right now in South Carolina involving its 3 largest papers and their owners. Newspaper wars are as old as papers themselves, but over the last few decades they've *mostly* gone the way of the darkroom ...

@theplunderroom: Important thread, @AndyParas Thank you for this - and well-done. https://twitter.com/...
David Caraviello / @dcaraviello: Heck of a thread here by Andy. https://twitter.com/...
@pluvlaw: Great thread on SC's newspapers. Thanks, @AndyParas. We need quality journalism now more than ever. https://twitter.com/...
Kenley Young / @kenleyyoung: This thread should be required reading for all current and former S.C.-based journos. Quite the history lesson, and quite the insight into @postandcourier's vision and ability to read (and capitalize on) the statewide landscape. https://twitter.com/...
Andy Paras / @andyparas: Actually, three laid off in the newsroom and a fourth in another department. Two sources say Caitlyn's leaving saved them from having to lay-off a fourth person.
Lauren Gorla / @laurengorla: Totally fascinating (and if you're not already looking at The State and Sun News for your coverage, go now!) https://twitter.com/...
Jason Zacher / @jasonczacher: Good thread from my friend (and GenX News compatriot) @AndyParas. https://twitter.com/...
Justin Jarrett / @justinjarrett: @djmikebills @AndyParas Happened quickly, too. They seemed to be positioned to become THE PAPER in South Carolina. Now they're foundering.
Philip Typo Nelson / @blu3r4d0n: @AndyParas I just find it strange they didn't hire from within for the new branch papers. I may be missing something here though.

David Travis Bland / @dtravisbland: Lets hear some more about @TheSunNews in the glory days. https://twitter.com/...
Andy Paras / @andyparas: UPDATE: Earlier I reported at least 2 Post and Courier journalists were laid off this week. I've learned that number is at least 4 in the newsroom - and a 5th in another department ... so basically the size of their new Greenville newsroom.
Lake Morris / @lake_morr1s: Into the world of SC news history. This is a good thread to explain the dynamics of @thestate v @GreenvilleNews v @postandcourier. Give it a read. https://twitter.com/...
Andy Paras / @andyparas: 60 tweets later, this thread is done. I got a little sloppy at the end: P&C actually hired 4 former News reporters. Also, there's hope Gannett will actually invest again now that it's being challenged. If so, the reader truly benefits. Thanks for all the feedback! https://twitter.com/...
Kathryn B. Whitaker / @kbwhit: Great thread. Thankful for the talented journalists we have throughout our state. #sctweets https://twitter.com/...
Jalen Elrod / @jalenelrod: This thread details the most unreported story in South Carolina. It was obvious this was happening but became undeniable given what the Post did in #yeahTHATGreenville these past few months. Power moves. I have thoughts but I've learned is the newspaper industry is cutthroat. https://twitter.com/...
Liz Foster / @thedizzylizzieb: @AndyParas Why a “war” - why not healthy competition for thorough, respectable and relevant coverage from as many decent sources in the state as possible, to get to the nuts and bolts of all that's important for everyone?
@kelleyincola: Fascinating thread. I subscribe to @thestate as my local. I have subscribed to on-line @postandcourier too on occasion. We have some amazing reporting in our local SC papers. https://twitter.com/...
Andy Paras / @andyparas: @blu3r4d0n Ha no one in Charleston wants to leave Charleston. Same reason they almost always had to hire someone from off to work in Columbia
DJ Mike Bills / @djmikebills: @AndyParas Seems to me that things are not well at the P&C. My question is how can the newspaper be on the bottom half of Page 1 of Google? Live 5 News is cleaning the P&C's clock. Number 1 on Google for #chsnews. Their digital team knows how to get rankings without pay walls.

Brutal South / @paul_bowers: @AndyParas Good thread, Andy. I'm curious whether all this jostling results in improved pay or working conditions for journalists. I was making $38k a year at the P&C when my time ended there in 2019. To put it in perspective, that was a 1st-year teacher's salary in Charleston County.

Sara Morrison / @saramorrison: @thetomzone But ..... I thought video was a major part of their new business plan? Didn't they do a big video push?
@thetomzone: G/O Media just eviscerated the entire video team, firing over a dozen of our colleagues during a pandemic with no explanation as to why, or how we are supposed to be a media company with almost no video team left. is the plan to autonarrate articles with Microsoft Sam?
