Stopped the presses— One cool thing about this former printing plant was that it had its own rail spur that entered the building to deliver newsprint. Those days are long gone. "The media company ceased printing operations at the end of 2025 and outsourced duties to a facility in Iowa, citing declining print subscriptions and cost savings. The site is the last piece of real estate owned by the company, which used to control several blocks in and around downtown Minneapolis."

Why is everyone saying they talked to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes? By Melina Khan USA TODAY "Now, the internet is fixating on McConnell's reported conversations and the mystery surrounding his hospitalization, with social media users riffing that they too talked to the senator about dramatized topics." https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/2026/07/08/mitch-mcconnell-20-minute-talks-hospital/90847222007/ #Kentucky #kypol #newspapers

The #CruiseShip delivers a daily newspaper to every cabin. This is a concise 8 A4 page printed edition produced by KVH media for cruise lines. There's just enough news in all areas (UK, global, sport, finance, celebrities) to keep up to date. There's no editorial, and no apparent bias (there will be but it's not blatant). I think I'd pay to have this type of daily digest at home. (No, it's not available to individuals) #news #Newspapers #UKNews #BoatTripNorth #Cruise

Democracy? What Democracy? It's all about the old mighty cold dollar... -> "When the World Wide Web went live in the early 1990s, its founders hoped it would be a space for anyone to share information and collaborate. But today, the free and open web is shrinking. The Internet Archive has been recording the history of the internet and making it available to the public through its Wayback Machine since 1996. Now, some of the world’s biggest news outlets are blocking the archive’s access to their pages. Major publishers – including The Guardian, The New York Times, the Financial Times, and USA Today – have confirmed they’re ending the Internet Archive’s access to their content. While publishers say they support the archive’s preservation mission, they argue unrestricted access creates unintended consequences, exposing journalism to AI crawlers and members of the public trying to skirt their paywalls. Yet, publishers don’t simply want to lock out AI crawlers. Rather, they want to sell their content to data-hungry tech companies. Their back catalogues of news, books and other media have become a hot commodity as data to train AI systems. https://theconversation.com/news-sites-are-locking-out-the-internet-archive-to-stop-ai-crawling-is-the-open-web-closing-274968 #OpenWeb #Media #InternetArchive #News #Newspapers #Journalism
