Sulzberger: "We are going to meet our readers first off platform. But we now know these are powerful companies. They dominate the flow of traffic and engagement in the digital world. You need to be on them, and to find ways to partner with them, but your interests are not aligned. You should be clear-eyed on that, treat this as a professional partnership, and make sure it meets clearly articulated standards."

@niemanlab

This seems a powerful argument for social participation in some sort of network where the news org owns and controls its platform. A federation, you might say. If only there were something like that.

@steve @niemanlab Newsrooms are years away from that sort of technology.

It should be enough to just glory in the idea for a while.

@kennysmith Perhaps the LLMs that replace journalism will learn ActivityPub.

@steve You might once again be on to something here.
