| 1637863611317075968 | @maddie_sofia 1. Journalism is the indispensable Fourth Estate, serving as the watchdog of government 2. Journalism can only be saved with government subsidies, making it existentially beholden to government https://t.co/Dh4hw7gwgA | 1 |
| 1637867922222637058 | @pudgenet @maddie_sofia “I would argue rather that we actually need to provide more funding for public media to guarantee its independence, so that it is insulated from any undue influence.” Yes, nothing promotes independence like total dependency. https://t.co/doMeZNuzsz | 1 |

| 1638243659903557635 | @petersagal It was sad when @maddie_sofia left @NPRShortWave When @emilykwong1234 talked about learning Chinese in Where We Come From, I knew Short Wave would stay at the top of my list. | 0 |
| 1637864234552811528 | @maddie_sofia To be clear: reliance on government to do the job of journalism is untenable. Whether that is direct funding, or even shield laws set aside for specific people/professions … the answer is No. Govt-supported journalism has a net negative value to society. | 0 |
| 1637864837966356485 | @maddie_sofia Yes, we should let “journalism” wither and die. And applaud its much overdue death. | 0 |
| 1637868547727581209 | @Magnum_CK @maddie_sofia I would say it is insane, but he has to know that what he’s saying is nonsense. He knows that this is the **opposite** of independence. He just doesn’t care, because his interests are aligned with the government’s. | 0 |

| 1638974130413506560 | @maddie_sofia was our keynote speaker for the 2022 @ComSciCon Flagship Workshop, and we repeatedly heard from attendees that her talk was the one of the most illuminating & thought-provoking parts of the conference.
