The easiest way to get a big scoop in journalism is to straight-up steal it from @marisakabas.bsky.social, as we've seen over and over from "respectable" outlets.

It's disheartening to see the largest publications in the nation not cite original reporting from independent/individual reporters. Not one mention of @marisakabas.bsky.social's work in ID'ing Tommy. Instead, the WSJ implies that Tommy came forward himself. Disingenuous, at best.

Citizen journalism in action
About — Crackdown Podcast
Garth Mullins—Crackdown’s Host and Executive Producer—is a longtime activist and drug user as well as a member of the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users and the BC Association of People on Methadone. Crackdown was born out of the idea that journalism can be rigorous, fair, and meet the expectations enumerated in the Canadian Association of Journalists, while also containing a clear and transparently-stated point of view. We believe that journalism can and should seek to serve the public good. We believe that journalism need not be produced by people who are distant from the topics and communities they are covering. And we believe that - rather than hiding behind a mask of “objectivity” - journalism is most truthful when it clearly communicates its point of view to the audience.

Thanks! Sort of curious if you've tried out @semble.so for collectively-sourced journalism?
It gets even crazier. After MS NOW reporter @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social published an article debunking the celebrity deepfakes, she herself was woven into the narrative, with fabricated videos emerging that falsely claimed she had retracted her reporting and blamed Democrats for a "false flag."
WATCH: After the viral exchange between Abdul El-Sayed and a heckler named “Tommy,” independent reporter @marisakabas.bsky.social uncovered the man’s ties to Republican politics.
