There was a bear in a tree in Roanoke, Virginia, Monday. Efforts to tranquilize the bear were eventually successful, and, after a three-hour standoff, firefighters were able to nudge the sedated bear off the branch it was occupying and onto a tarp.  Logan Sherrill of WDBJ in Roanoke did an excellent job covering the bear […]

You’d think the repo truck was heading straight for Bret Baier‘s house. “Sinclair Broadcast Group’s $3.9 billion deal for Tribune Media is putting Fox in a hole,” Jennifer Saba writes for Reuters. “With such a national broadcast footprint, it has the penetration to match Fox News’ audience,” Michael Wolff writes in the Hollywood Reporter.  Sinclair “could leverage the […]

Last April a New York Times article briefly infuriated a lot of Washingtonians by suggesting Crystal City was “quietly and persistently reinventing itself.” Many of the offended fixated on a comparison made by Mitchell N. Schear, the president of Vornado/Charles E. Smith: “Think Brooklyn and Manhattan,” he said. “You’re close enough, but you’re not paying higher taxes and utilities.” Lost in the digital […]

Have Politico’s Snacks Gone Downhill?

0
0

When Politico moved into its new office in Rosslyn in 2015, its lavish program of free snacks drew immediate praise from employees. The publication’s previous office had a somewhat grim break room served by vending machines, and employees reveled in the upgraded options. Now that news about the Trump administration breaks at an unhealthy pace and staffers rely […]

Has WAMU Solved Public Radio’s Diversity Problem?

0
0

Last year, 87 percent of NPR’s audience identified as white. That’s only slightly less snowy than a line for Pepe the Frog T-shirts, and one of the things keeping NPR executives’ sheets shiny with sweat each night: The public-media network has committed to “sounding like America,” but its audience has not. Across town at public-radio […]

The New York Times Is Losing a Lot by Cutting Its Public Editor

0

The New York Times‘s decision to eliminate its public editor was not exactly met with a mass uproar when it was announced Wednesday, just mild disappointment and a little gnashing of teeth from good-journalism types. The job “really served to placate other journalists, not typical Times readers,” Washington Post reporter Christopher Ingraham tweeted, evincing a longstanding suspicion in newsrooms that […]

A common affliction among staffers at the DC alt-weekly Washington City Paper is the fear that they’ll be the last person to occupy their position.
