You do not have permission to use it as I've told you numerous times in DMs. Shouldn't have laid off all those reporters if you wanted locker room content.

The MAGA crew does relatively little reporting, so most coverage of the US military is now happening from outside the Pentagon's five walls. Journalists from some traditional outlets were allowed to attend this morning's press conference with Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine. But Hegseth only answered Q's from his chosen outlets.

What could be interesting for publishers/media outlets is that, based on the new line that says: `discover_is_profile_claimed_` (followed by the MID entity or domain if the entity doesn't exist), it might be possible to claim their profile page and therefore modify the information, much like the Knowledge Panel.

Physical media sales, DVDs especially, are experiencing a new burst of popularity. After a decade of freefall, enthusiasm among Gen Z halved a 20 percent sales decline in 2024 to just 9 percent in 2025. Stores have noticed. The Times' Karla Gachet spoke with staff at cultural hubs like Cinefile and Vidiots to discover why 2026 is already shaping up to be their biggest year, with the latter renting a surprising 1,000 DVDs a week.

Institutionally, we still don't understand what inclusion means. Just because you invite someone into a space, but you don't provide the necessary resources to keep them and everyone else in that room safe by them being there, that's not inclusivity. That's exploitation. That man's disability got exploited that night, and it led to multiple offenses.

The battle for WBD played out amid a pivotal backdrop for Wall Street: a period investment banks hope will mark a full-throated M&A rebound, in which just landing a role on a deal of this size is as useful for one's street cred as actually winning it. Even advisers on the losing side will walk away with hefty fees, boardroom credibility, and proof they belong on the biggest mandates of the coming year.

For Northwestern University's 2025 news report, they estimated that almost 40% of all local U.S. newspapers have vanished, leaving 50 million Americans with limited or no access to a reliable source of local news. The local newspapers that haven't closed their doors have immensely reduced their operations, cutting the amount of reporters in the newsroom from hundreds to just dozens and working out of rented office spaces instead of downtown buildings.

Warner Bros. Discovery on Friday agreed to be acquired by Paramount Skydance in a deal worth $110 billion, Reuters and Deadline reported, citing remarks by Warner Bros. executive. Bruce Campbell, Warner Bros' chief revenue and strategy officer, made the announcement at a morning town hall, according to Reuters.

We've been locked out, banned, denied, restricted for more than 2 years. The Israeli government has refused to allow journalists into Gaza to report independently, to show the world the reality of war and this fragile ceasefire from every angle. It is long past time for Israel to lift this ban and let us in.

The progress we've made over the past 6+ months - from advancing our strategy to strengthening our portfolio and reorganizing our businesses to operate more efficiently and effectively - is a direct reflection of your hard work and commitment.

A record 129 journalists and media workers were killed in the course of their work in 2025, and two-thirds of them were killed by Israel, the Committee to Protect Journalists has said. It was the second straight year that killings set a record and the second straight year that Israel was responsible for two-thirds of them, the CPJ, a New York-based independent organisation that documents attacks on the press, said in its annual report.

A unified front against data fragmentation. As the industry's primary watchdog, MDA, which represents 56 companies including digital publishers, platforms, and agencies, is focused on delivering a single standard currency for Malaysian internet traffic. Nicholas Sagau, President of MDA and COO of REV Media Group, emphasized that these benchmarks are not just about numbers, but about the health of the marketplace.

You can call me a dork, but working in public radio was my dream as a teenager - and the hours I spent mapping out my career path and building up my résumé paid off by the time I was an adult. After graduating from college in 2019, I interned at NPR, then landed a job at my local public radio station. Within a few years, I'd worked my way up to being a beat reporter, the role I'd always wanted.
