Sara Fischer / @sarafischer: Exclusive: Billionaires Reid Hoffman, George Soros and others back new media firm led by @taraemcg to combat disinformation — As part of its launch, “Good Information” will acquire @CourierNewsroom, a local news group with a progressive perspective. https://www.axios.com/...
Daniel Gritzer / @dgritzer: @mathewi Wow, I'm amazed you don't see the difference. It's not because “we are the good guys.” There's literally one side committed to disinformation and another that's trying to keep us grounded in some basis of fact. How in the world do you think that's the same?
Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: If right-wing billionaires did this, I'm sure there would be a hue and cry. Why is it different because these are supposedly “progressive” news outlets? https://twitter.com/...
Casey Newton / @caseynewton: @jameshamblin i mean you just ruled out all of the available business models james
Patrick Thornton / @pwthornton: @jameshamblin The general answer is a freemium model like The New York Times. The ads could be done away with as subs take on more and more of the revenue pie. People who don't want to pay can do with there free number of articles per month. The general answer is that news needs paywalls.
Shoshana Wodinsky / @swodinsky: @jameshamblin in all seriousness (and speaking as someone who writes about The Economics of Online for a living), what you're describing is literally impossible under capitalism. sure, you could have nonprofits, but that kind of falls under the behest of some millionaires thumb sooner or later
Patrick Thornton / @pwthornton: @CaseyNewton @jameshamblin If you don't have a business model, what are your favorite ways of supporting your business? It's an odd question.
James Hamblin / @jameshamblin: Imagine people really do want journalism, from experienced writers and editors, and they want it to be free and available to all, and widely representative, and without ads or weird data tracking, and without the potential bias of any billionaire stakeholder. How would that work?
Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D / @rvawonk: I want to be supportive, but a new initiative to combat disinformation that is made up of media insiders, politicos, and ad/tech experts — but not a single scientist who studies disinformation — seems to be a symptom of the problem, not a solution to it. https://www.axios.com/...

Emily Bell / @emilybell: Also compelling reading is @benyt on the #FacebookFiles leak handling, which made me thing two things. One, as @IfeomaOzoma has often pointed out, whistleblowing requires strat comms. Two , where is the NYT Styles piece on the Puerto Rico crypto nomads? https://www.nytimes.com/...
Josh Kraushaar / @hotlinejosh: “The polished rollout, including Ms. Haugen's Oct. 3 appearance on ‘60 Minutes’ and congressional testimony days later, has led to dark hints from Facebook and its allies that there's something a little too good to be true about her.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

Jessica Lessin / @jessicalessin: The Facebook whistleblower says she doesn't need financial support because she bought “crypto at the right time.” She is in Puerto Rico in part to join her crypto friends, who are there seeking a tax shelter. Now I'm entertained. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Kimi Yoshino / @kyoshino: Some news from me! I'm leaving the @latimes and taking on a new challenge in Baltimore. I'm excited to join Stewart Bainum as editor-in-chief of The Baltimore Banner, a digital, nonprofit news start-up. https://twitter.com/...
Sewell Chan / @sewellchan: In my 3 years at @latimes, one of my favorite colleagues was @kyoshino. A fellow @aaja member and a fantastic leader, Kimi will run the new Baltimore Bulletin. This is great news for Charm City and the growing world of nonprofit journalism. https://twitter.com/...
@elaheizadi: EXCLUSIVE via @sarahellison: Stewart Bainum unveils plans for new ‘Baltimore Banner’ news site — and hires Kimi Yoshino, a top L.A. Times editor, to run it https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Alice Dreger, Ph.D. / @alicedreger: This is certainly going to be interesting to watch. Plan is for a nonprofit news operation, but the budget is big. Doesn't feel realistic to me, frankly, as a successful local news nonprofit publisher of 7+ years. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
@washingtonpost: The Maryland hotel magnate tried but failed to buy the Baltimore Sun. Now he's trying to demonstrate a new business model for local news. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Seamus Hughes / @seamushughes: “David Simon, a former Baltimore Sun reporter who created the HBO hit “The Wire.” Simon has committed to write a monthly column for the Banner.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Matt Pearce / @mattdpearce: Local journalism needs digital projects Baltimore Banner under @kyoshino to succeed so that we can find the model that will work in more communities and help us climb out of this Wall Street hell. https://twitter.com/...
Daniel Miller / @danielnmiller: Congratulations to @kyoshino, who after 21 years at the Los Angeles Times is taking on a big new job. Kimi is a wonderful journalist — Baltimore is lucky to get her. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Chris Krewson / @ckrewson: The organization has focused first on building its business operation — earliest hires were in marketing, subscriptions and technology. Many other media start-ups are “a bunch of journalists trying to figure out what to do with subscriptions.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Kimi Yoshino / @kyoshino: I'm starting in Baltimore next month. Stealing this idea from @sewellchan: Tell me what I should read, who I should follow, what I can't miss in Maryland.
Evan Serpick / @serps: We're starting a Baltimore-based news outlet and dropping a million names but zero Black people. 🚩🚩🚩🚩 🚩🚩🚩🚩 🚩🚩🚩🚩 🚩🚩🚩🚩 https://twitter.com/...
Lenfest Institute / @lenfestinst: We're proud to support and advise @VenetoulisInst and The Baltimore Banner as they launch an ambitious plan to reinvent local journalism in Baltimore. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Jillian Weinberger / @jbweinz: I just really, really want this work and be a model for other cities, please and thank you. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Emily Sullivan / @emilyasullivan: Stewart Bainum says he's committed $50 million toward the Baltimore Banner, his planned news site that will allegedly hire roughly 50 reporters. His first hire: Kimi Yoshino, a top L.A. Times editor. She'll help launch the nonprofit digital site https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Ted Williams / @ted_williams: I respect how BIG Bainum is thinking. 50 reporters. $15M annual budget. $50M personal commitment. Love that the team is clear eyed about the challenge and not too romantic. It's doable. Very cool to see this. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Imtiaz Patel / @imtiazbaltnews: Exciting news. I'm thrilled to lead @VenetoulisInst as CEO and welcome @kyoshino as Editor in Chief. Together we will work on creating a sustainable local news operation https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Scott Shane / @scottshanenyt: The announcement of The Baltimore Banner is the best news for Baltimoreans and for local journalism in a while. Stewart Bainum has gone about building this venture with patience and care. I especially like his shoutout to The Sun's stalwart journalists. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
@niemanlab: The plan isn't to compete with The Baltimore Sun, according to Bainum, who also believes there is room for more than one outlet in the Maryland city. “There's a lot of damn talent there. And we just want to add to it.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Molly O'Toole / @mollymotoole: Wow! Congrats @kyoshino ! https://twitter.com/...
Ron Cassie / @ron_cassie: Rather than “The Banner”—referencing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” penned by slave-owning lawyer Francis Scott Key—"The Baltimore Star"—an homage to the anti-slavery newspaper “The North Star” published by Maryland & Baltimore's Frederick Douglass would've been helluva lot better. https://twitter.com/...
Helaine Olen / @helaineolen: Congratulations to Baltimore .. and to @kyoshino! https://twitter.com/...
Chris Krewson / @ckrewson: Also the second high-profile LA Times departure to run a big nonprofit newsroom... Sewell being the first. :) https://twitter.com/...

David Lauter / @davidlauter: I've watched @kyoshino for more than 2 decades as her career has blossomed & she's developed into a smart, dedicated & tenacious editor. Bainum's decision to hire her is really good news for his new Baltimore venture. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Sanya Kamidi / @skamidi: (personally I think a membership model would go a long way vs subscriptions/paywall if you're trying to build up name recognition + trust in a city) https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Risa Heller / @risabheller: This is awesome - hope it works- and hope it can be replicated. https://twitter.com/...
Blake Hounshell / @blakehounshell: Rooting for these guys — so important that local news startups find new models that can work https://twitter.com/...
Bryn Stole / @brynstole: “The Banner is targeting a goal of 100,000 subscribers to break even” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
David Boardman / @dlboardman: Hugely excited about this initiative, about @kyoshino as its journalism leader, and about the @lenfestinst's role as an advisory partner. https://twitter.com/...
Ron Cassie / @ron_cassie: Stewart Bainum and deputy @WSJ Imtiaz Patel unveil plans for “Baltimore Banner” news site—hire Kimi Yoshino, top @latimes editor, to run it. David Simon to do a monthly column. Billionaire publisher, ex-NYC mayor Mike Bloomberg has been consulting... https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Joe Flint / @jbflint: Congrats Kimi. If this guy hands you a resume steer clear. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Dave Troy / @davetroy: Glad to see this moving forward. I'm always nervous about how to set culture in an effort like this; journalists don't get product, product people don't get journalism. Hoping they strike a good balance here and create something special. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Sameer K Rao / @amancalledsrao: Looks like whatever happens with The Baltimore Banner, a chunk of its leaders are APIA, which is currently more than can be said for a lot of publications, local and otherwise https://twitter.com/...
Jim Friedlich / @jimfriedlich: Long may it wave! Welcome to the world to new digital local news non-profit Baltimore Banner and Ventoulis Institute for Local Journalism @ventoulisinst Congratulations to new Banner EIC @PulitzerPrizes winner @kyoshino and CEO, @wsj alum @ImtiazBaltNews https://twitter.com/...
Brandon Soderberg / @notrivia: Takoma Park, MD-born rich guy with non-local high-level hires (so far) and taking advice from Michael “Stop and Frisk” Bloomberg, why is Baltimore in the name of this news site exactly https://twitter.com/...
Kimi Yoshino / @kyoshino: Every city deserves better than what ‘vulture’ hedge fun Alden Capital is doing to its newspapers across the country. From this @mckaycoppins piece: “A vulture doesn't hold a wounded animal's head underwater. This is predatory.” https://www.theatlantic .com/ ...
Samantha Melbourneweaver / @samanthamvb: This is an incredible gain for the city of Baltimore. I can't say enough good things about @kyoshino as a manager, strategist and as a human. She's the best. She really is. I cannot wait to see her take on this amazing role. Meanwhile I'm...😭😭😭 😭 https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

Thomas Baekdal / @baekdal: I agree that communication needs to be better, but publishers should not use pictures that they don't have the copyright too, licensed, or have permission to use. So... if this has been such a widespread problem, then yes. Delete all of them. https://twitter.com/...
Evan DeSimone / @mediaevan: Last minute housekeeping before they SPAC. It's actually surprising that so many copyrighted images were still on the site for this long. https://www.gawker.com/...
Ahmed Ali Akbar / @radbrowndads: The idea seems to be avoiding copyright infringement - but they also deleted original artwork made by BuzzFeed staff like on the cover art by @MaritsaPatrinos on one of my personal essays from 2016.

Matt Deegan / @matt: The problem with all this stuff isn't the tech or even the idea, it's that it ends up being lots of poor quality hosts, bad production and a lack of understanding about listener behaviour. The participants do shows for themselves, not the audience. https://twitter.com/...
