☆ Joy Gregory’s new book shines a light on overlooked Black women photographers
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-15 | by ( Suyin Haynes | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

CNN —The genesis of photographer Joy Gregory’s latest project, “Shining Lights,” began 40 years ago, at a Valentine’s Day party in London. After the party and as they became friends, Mercer suggested the pair collaborate on a book about women’s photography. Courtesy the artist/MACKThe idea then, for a book surveying the work of Black women’s photography in Britain in the 1980s and 1990s, lay dormant for several decades. The result is “Shining Lights: Black Women Photographers in 1980s–90s Britain,” a new photography book edited by Gregory and co-published by Autograph and Mack. “I think as women, it wasn’t open, and I think being of color, it definitely wasn’t open.”In the book, Black “refers to the whole gamut of color, which was really about difference,” says Gregory.

☆ The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and the Long Shadow of 1948

In 1948, Jews realized their wildly improbable dream of a state, and Palestinians experienced the mass flight and expulsion called the Nakba, or catastrophe. It’s only in 1948 that the Arabs become Palestinians and the Jews become Israelis. Many Jews became lower-level officers during World War II, and they brought their new military expertise to the 1948 war.

☆ UK bars Abu Dhabi-backed group from acquiring Telegraph, pending review

LONDON, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Britain's government on Friday blocked an Abu Dhabi-backed group from taking ownership of the media group that owns the Telegraph newspaper while its takeover bid is scrutinised by regulators over freedom of expression concerns. The government intervened in the planned deal on Thursday when it asked regulators to examine the deal. On Friday, culture and media minister Lucy Frazer set out an enforcement order preventing any transfer of ownership of the Telegraph Media Group without her permission and also stopping any changes of its structure or senior editorial staff. As well as the right-leaning Telegraph newspaper, the group owns the Spectator magazine. They are up for sale after Lloyds Banking Group in June seized control following a long-running dispute with owners, the Barclay family.

CNN —Yevgeny Prigozhin turned the Wagner Group from a shadowy band of mercenaries into a feared military powerhouse operating across multiple countries on three continents. The kind of clear chain of command that is common in traditional military does not exist in Wagner, which makes Prigozhin’s demise a potentially existential problem for the group. Members of Wagner group sit atop of a tank in a street in the city of Rostov-on-Don, on June 24, 2023. A Russian military delegation went to the Libyan city of Benghazi this week to meet with Haftar, who has been supported by Wagner for several years. He said the cracks in the foundations of West African and Central African countries that have leaned on the Wagner Group for support could begin to emerge now.

An image of a French news report about hot weather in Corsica is being falsely touted online as evidence of the media exaggerating high temperatures in France. The image is a cropped still from a broadcast weather report on CNEWS, a French-language news channel. “Same temperature manipulation in France relating to Corsica,” said one social media user sharing the image on messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter. Reuters traced the image to a weather report broadcast on CNEWS on July 18 (here). The visuals were filmed on July 17 and were used to illustrate a broadcast on July 18 about temperatures forecast for later that day.

☆ I gave up my 6-figure journalism job to become a high school teacher. It was a huge culture shock — and nothing like 'Dead Poets Society.'

She gave up her six-figure salary to retrain as a teacher and set up the charity Now Teach. My mum was a great school teacher and when she died when I was in my forties I briefly thought about becoming a teacher like her. Ten years later when my dad died, I thought I needed to do something radical with the time I had left of my working life. So for me to leave readers with the impression that my life is like "Dead Poets Society" couldn't be further from the truth. I knew from writing about working life that many people in their fifties who were lawyers or worked in other corporate roles get bored with it and want to do something more useful.
