Vox Media has sold @polygon, its gaming and entertainment site, to Valnet, owner of ScreenRant, GameRant and Android Police, @theverge reports. Some staffers will stay with the publication while others have been laid off. At the second link, find a story from @TheWrap about Valnet's questionable treatment of writers. “Everyone is underpaid, overworked and really pretty — extremely — exploited,” a former Collider contributor said.

Reporters Without Borders on May 5 announced that it had facilitated russian journalist Ekaterina Barabash's escape from russia to France.
"I fled — I had no other choice. #Journalism no longer exists in russia," Barabash told reporters in Paris on May 5.
You can do something about this. It takes two minutes.

The Pulitzer Prize winners were announced today. Here's a Flipboard Storyboard with the full list, plus some of the prizewinning stories, photos and illustrations. One particularly noteworthy winner is Ann Telnaes, who was awarded for her career as the Washington Post's editorial cartoonist — she left the paper in January after 17 years when her cartoon lampooning tech billionaires bowing down to Donald Trump was rejected by opinions editor David Shipley. We were delighted to see a win for @ProPublica's "Life of the Mother" series on abortion bans. It's the second consecutive Pulitzer in the "public service" category for one of our favorite #NewstodonFriday contributors.

The BBC is shocked when Israeli soldiers – illegally occupying Syria – identify its film crew, point guns at their heads, strip-search them, then blindfold and interrogate them.
Might it encourage the BBC to report the systematic murder of Palestinian journalists in Gaza?

Did you know it’s not just two journalists who’ve been shot while covering the LA anti-ICE protests?
It’s many more. They appear to be targeting the press. Trying to silence them. Dissuade them from reporting on what is one of the most important issues America is facing.
Does the country want to submit to a fascist authoritarian?
Or do they want to fight back?
LA has chosen to fight back. And journalists are showing up to cover it. As they should.
Adam Rose is keeping a running tally on a thread on Bluesky. Highly recommend checking it out.
here’s some of the injured:
Ryanne Mena, shot with pepper balls
Sean Becker-Carmitchel, hit multiple times
Anthony Cabassa hit in face with chemical munition
Ryanne and Sean were hit again the next day, with a tear gas cannister
No name has been given but reports of someone from KTLA being hit with less lethal ammo and going to urgent care
Lauren Tomasi hit with less lethal ammo
Nick Stern shot with less lethal ammo and requires emergency surgery
These people were clearly identifying themselves as members of the press
They were there to do their jobs
And at least in the case of Lauren Tomasi, there’s video evidence which appears to show an officer taking clear aim and firing directly at her
Say their names.
Speak up.
The public need to know the risks the press are taking just to attempt to bring truth to the masses.
The Regime have been attempting to silence, sue and throttle the press since day one.
We shouldn’t tolerate any direct attacks on them.
