GONZALEZ V. GOOGLE

The Supreme Court will consider to what extent tech companies can be
held legally liable for the content that gets published on
its platforms. The court will take up a case that concerns whether
Google was in the wrong for recommending YouTube videos that helped
encourage ISIS recruitment, and by extension a separate case brought
by Twitter over similar content.

THE DRAINING OF NPR

Current Affairs

voices of average Americans. Today it’s a sterile, inoffensive
corporate product that is produced, funded, and consumed by a narrow
demographic of highly educated liberals.

Common Dreams

The news crisis is prompting lawmakers at the local, state and federal
levels to examine how to use public policy to keep communities
informed. The most promising solutions look at how public dollars can
be used to meet community-information needs, cultivate new models for
journalism and address the widening gaps resulting from the
destruction of local commercial media.

WASHPOST UNDER BEZOS

By Dan Froomkin
Columbia Journalism Review

Bezos’s money changed everything, bulking up the newsroom,
revolutionizing its technology, and firmly reestablishing it as a
dominant voice in the national media. But the conflicts of interest
are self-evident. Pretty much every public-policy issue
the _Post_ covers affects Bezos’s sprawling personal and business
interests in material ways.
