As part of our mission to bring more high-quality journalism to the fediverse, we’re federating today the profiles of nine U.S. media sites, bringing their content to Mastodon and other platforms. We think this is especially important now as the world faces serious crises like Ukraine, Gaza and climate change — not to mention pivotal elections coming up this year in several countries.
We’re delighted to welcome this next wave of trusted publishers:
Bloomberg: @bloomberg
Bloomberg Law: @BloombergLaw
Bloomberg CityLab: @citylab
The Kyiv Independent: @KyivIndependent
Politico: @politico
Quartz: @quartz
Salon: @Salon
Time: @time
Vox: @Vox
Here are just a few of the amazing Magazines you’ll be able to follow:
Business News by Quartz, @business-news-quartz
Congress by Politico, @congress-politico
Markets by Bloomberg, @markets-bloomberg
News & Politics by Salon, @news-politics-Salon
Supreme Court by Vox, @supreme-court-Vox
Urban Planning by Bloomberg City Lab, @urban-planning-citylab
World News by Time, @world-time

@tchambers @NewsDesk When will these be more than just read-only glorified RSS feeds?
@tchambers @NewsDesk As of right now this doesn't feel much different from following all those "bird.makeup" Twitter syndicators that filled up the Fediverse a couple years ago.
@jsit @tchambers Hi Jay! These are official publisher accounts on Flipboard, so the content is all directly curated by the publisher, which makes them a bit different than those "bird.makeup" mirror accounts.
Publishers use a combination of RSS feeds and manual "flipping" to add content to their topical Magazines.
You can follow the publisher's complete account or just the Magazine feed you're interested in (we always use the example of ESPN, where you might be interested in tennis but not golf, for example, so you can just follow one type of content using a Flipboard Magazine).
Comments and boosts can be seen by publishers logged into the app and we are also working on federated people on Flipboard being able to reply to federated comments, so stay tuned for more on that!
We also have our totally-humanly-curated, not-an-RSS-in-sight accounts here, which are @NewsDesk, @TechDesk, @ScienceDesk, @CultureDesk and @ArtPhotosDesk. Follow those for handpicked stories, polls, and human interactions!
