So, like, reporters?

News should come from the people. From those actually on the scene and those who actually are subject-matter experts!

Update: Northvolt is also yet to receive any of its €700m grant from the German government. It was set to arrive in instalments starting this year, based on the company's progress at its German factory.

Governments have pledged more than €2.7bn to Northvolt over its lifetime — but only €531m of that is confirmed to have hit the company’s bank account. That means it’s unlikely to help the company’s immediate search for cash. sifted.eu/articles/north…

This is such a brilliant piece by @anneapplebaum As she says, the secret wealth and offshore tax havens kleptocrats use to enrich themselves are also a threat to democracy. Why don’t we just shut it all down? on.ft.com/4cLsKoz via @financialtimes

I've spent the last two years being sued for my reporting. It has been – and I cannot stress this enough – an abject waste of my time. Now, the claim has been dropped, so I wrote something (in the dreaded first-person) about it all via @TBIJ thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024-0…


🌱Vertical farming company Infarm declared bankruptcy at the end of last year. Now it's back, focused on growing kosher salad leaves in Canada... though past lives continue to haunt it, with a recent court case naming the old entity. w/ @mparts_ sifted.eu/articles/new-i…

A court in Russia has sentenced Evan Gershkovich, the WSJ reporter arrested last year on absurd espionage charges, to 16 years in high-security prison. Russia rushed through the trial and didn't bother presenting public evidence. It may be a prelude to an exchange. Free Evan!
