It takes an incredible amount of guts, drive, and fortitude to run a neighborhood newspaper in this day and age, let alone two. So when it was announced over the weekend that Michael Durand- editor and publisher of both the 38-year-old Richmond Review and the 35-year-old Sunset Beacon had been diagnosed with aggressive cancer and was entering hospice care to transition at his home, it came as a shock to media-watchers across the city.

Vantage Data Centers claimed the $8 bn project would largely run on zero-emission energy resources like solar, wind and battery storage.

“It has always been like that to a certain extent; it is even worse now,” opposition National Democratic Party leader Saboi Imboela told DW, arguing state-owned media gives more coverage to the ruling party, while opposition voices largely rely on private outlets.

Sportico published an article featuring an original analysis of parlay bets made via the prediction market Kalshi. Two days later, on May 15, Sports Illustrated published an article - titled " Who is really winning on Kalshi parlays according to the data" - that regurgitated the same figures, without ever attributing the analysis to Sportico, as would be the normal and ethical thing to do.

“Right now I'm just about 100 miles off the coast of mainland China,” is how Dokoupil began Wednesday night's broadcast from the balcony of a hotel in Taipei, Taiwan. Tony was being kind to himself: Taipei may be very close to mainland China itself, but it is 1,000 miles away from Beijing, where all of the important stuff was happening. The reason Dokoupil was stuck on that hotel balcony is that CBS failed to secure a visa for their man. Semafor's Max Tani reported that as a result the network had to send Dokoupil to Taipei at the last minute.

She told the outlet that she spoke with the candidate during a one-on-one Zoom call and said that the meeting was "initially courteous, substantive, even inspiring." But, according to the woman, Schlossberg suddenly slammed his hands on the table and moved closer to the screen and began using the woman's name and telling her repeatedly that he "wanted her" and "needed her."

“I’m a 34-year-old NBA center,” his essay begins. “I’m black. And I’m gay.” Those words made my stomach sink. “I’m a 20-year-old sportswriter, “ I thought to myself. “I’m gay, too.

The Red and Black's February traffic increased by 36% over January, and then by 40% from February to March. It had about 210,000 visits in January and ended March with over 401,000. Editor-in-chief Katie Guenthner said the growth is a combination of factors, including four February stories that made national news, along with newsroom workflow changes like publishing stories at 5:00 a.m. instead of 8:00 a.m., linking every Instagram Reel to a story on the website, and streamlining cross-team communication so published stories are pushed out on social media faster.
