A new #law goes into effect today in #Louisiana that will make it a misdemeanor for anyone, including #journalists, to be within 25 feet of a police officer if the officer orders them back.
Louisiana is the 4th state to enact one of these so-called #police "buffer laws," which allow officers to order people to keep their distance.

Folks, I just found a treasure trove:
a list of over 1,300 #journalists that already are on #Mastodon in the form of a #googledoc
In order to give the #BorgSite its final push, journalists there need to see that there really is an audience for them here in the free #fediverse
Some pull marketing would be helpful: follow as many, as you find sensible. This helps a lot.
Please boost!

@stim And I like that #CANADALAND really does cover stories that aren't covered elsewhere - especially about the news media itself. And #indigenous news and #journalists.
I'm not sure that #Mastodon will ever be able to provide as powerful a platform for breaking news as the #BirdSite did: it is contrary to Mastodon's fundamental vision to force a single news thread into everyone's face, the way the BirdSite does.
But I've been thinking, maybe that's for the best in the long run.
Hi, fellow #journalists ... in an attempt to make the Twitter diaspora a little easier, I'm compiling a list of #journalism types on mastodon. Currently it's biased toward #science / #scicomm types, but there are others in there.
I'll post the names, but the ongoing project is available on Github here: github.com/cgseife/mastodonpeo…
