I tried reporting this as potential hate speech to police but they say victim of this sort of crime has to report it themselves. I tried reasoning with them to investigate him anyway, but didn’t get any where. Sorry and sorry this has happened to you.

Really sad to read this, Carole. We need brave journalism more than ever.

Their loss. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is the best, not only a fine writer but a pillar of integrity, and everyone knows it

All of which to say is thank you for the support. I felt sad about leaving my perch in a global news org but now I'm energised by the challenge ahead & the chance to respond to this extraordinary crisis with something new. Join me! THANK YOU 🙏

Both these projects are experiments in storytelling. How do you hold power to account in an age of unaccountability? How do you make people care about the tech revolution we're living through? That's been the north star of the non-profit I set up & informs all my work

And also out today (!) episode 9 of Sergei & the Westminster Spy Ring. Another podcast series, this time on a shoestring with a crowdfunded budget (just another v talented producer) but so of the moment, it's quite unreal. This is a story that's going to run & run

And then there's this, out today: ep 4 of Stalked. The top series in the UK. This week we name who we think is Hannah's stalker. The BBC has been pretty incredible. I'm not sure any other UK news org would do this in the face of the pushback we've had

I'm hugely grateful to 57k readers who've signed up to my newsletter. It's a moment of incredible growth & imagination for indie media: maybe it's possible to build something new from the ground up? Listen to Ep 1 of my new podcast to understand why we have to try

And I'm lucky too, in a way, that this is happening as the world convulses. My beat has been trying to understand the information revolution, it's the crisis beneath the crisis...& now I'm throwing myself into its swirling eddies just as the wave hits the shore.

It means my 20 years at the Guardian & Observer is drawing to a close 😢. For most of that time, it's been the journalistic job of my dreams. I worked with the best editors, photographers & designers & got to do stories that wouldn't have been possible anywhere else. I know how lucky I've been.
