   @ben has a great piece on why the Fediverse is -- well, should be! -- so very important for media and news organizations.

   Of course, we had @cubicgarden doing an excellent Q&A on the BBC's Mastodon server at the last FediForum. I wonder whether we could somehow get a whole bunch of news organizations into the same (virtual) room at the next #FediForum in March, and figure out together what it will take to get broader adoption.

   People want news in the Fediverse!

     @J12t @ben @cubicgarden @tchambers Agree 100%, any organization now has the chance to not only own its messaging but also become it's own data sovereign. It's a huge deal but it's also an esoteric concept. The meat and potatoes of why media organizations (and others) haven't adopted Mastodon is because it's broadcast resistant. Threads integration may change that to a best of both worlds situation.

     Tim Chambers repeated this.

     @mike @J12t @ben @tchambers

     Still enjoy reading this - https://theconversation.com/canadas-public-broadcaster-should-use-mastodon-to-provide-a-social-media-service-194116

     Not sure why the @CBCNews haven't gone that way?
     When the @EU_Commission set up their own, it should have been a clear sign the new digital public space is developing here?
