The Unions of Lee Enterprises denounces plans by @LeeEntNews to sell The Southern Illinoisan paper to Paxton Media Group under terms that will eliminate all @thesouthern journalists who currently work for it. Read our full statement on this VERY bad deal: docs.google.com/document/d/1me…

These folks have covered Southern IL for years with tremendous dedication. They all lose their jobs in 10 days as the newspaper sale closes out. They are all class acts. They will find work because of their talents. I don’t know what will become of news in the lower 1/4 of IL.

🚨 If you're following Donald Trump's arraignment in NYC today, just remember: ⚠️ bad actors online use big breaking news stories to spread falsehoods by tugging at people's emotions ✔️ follow multiple standards-based news outlets to stick to the facts #NewsLiteracy

With several news outlets reporting that a grand jury in NYC has voted to indict former president Donald Trump, some basic reminders if you're following developments online ⤵️ #NewsLiteracy #BreakingNews #TrumpIndictment

So, there's A LOT of breaking news today. Remember: 1️⃣ It takes time for reporters to gather info, confirm it & then report it. 2️⃣ Bad actors try to spread disinformation preying on people's emotions. 3️⃣ It's better not to share something if you're unsure. #NewsLiteracy

❌ NO: The images ⤵️ depicting former president Donald Trump being arrested during a raid at Mar-a-Lago Club, his residence in Florida, are not genuine. The images were created with AI software. #RumorGuard post: bit.ly/ImagesTrump

A bunch of AI-generated images supposedly showing former President Donald Turmp being arrested have been circulating recently. Remember, whether it's photoshopped or AI-generated, tracing images back to the source is the best way to test authenticity. rumorguard.org/post/these-ima…

Pro tip of the day: If you want to understand legislation, start by understanding the difference between "may" and "shall."

When I say the state of local news across downstate #Illinois is in crisis — I’m not kidding. There’s been an exponential shrinking and wide-spread regionalization of local news that should alarm every Illinoisan. Support those left, because one day there may not be anyone.
