Every public relations (PR) professional's dream is to get their brand or client featured in a national publication with a high readership. In the digital PR world, getting a link back to your company's website is even better. Unfortunately, it's not always that simple, as you might not have news to share every month that interests the press. So, how can you still earn media coverage, and links back to your website?

Oireachtas group that probed Ryan Tubridy payments scandal turns its attention to media conflicts of interest Media regulator to consider new rules in wake of controversy, which will 'deepen suspicion among public' Chairman Alan Kelly says declaration of interests, similar to politicians, is needed from those working in the media Ivan Yates is being called before an Oireachtas committee to discuss his coaching of Jim Gavin in the presidential election while also acting as an political commentator.

(MSNBC / Ralph Bavaro). On Saturday, Nov. 15, MSNBC officially becomes MS Now standing up a modern, independent newsroom under the new corporate banner Versant and formally separating from NBCU's news division. On Wednesday morning, President Rebecca Kutler hosted a breakfast-hour walk-through for roughly a dozen media reporters, with a rotating cast of on-air principals dropping in to shake hands and take questions.

According to VP Mitzi Reaugh, the new MAV metric represents members who have watched at least one minute of ads on Netflix per month, multiplied by the estimated average number of people per household. MAVs take the place of MAUs - monthly active users. Reaugh noted one advantage is that the MAV metric better captures co-viewing behaviors. So you can see why Netflix prefers it.

The most obvious use case for generative AI in editorial operations is to write copy. When ChatGPT lit the fuse on the current AI boom, it was its ability to crank out hundreds of comprehensible words almost instantly, on virtually any topic, that captured our imaginations. Hundreds of "ChatGPT wrote this article" think pieces resulted, and college essays haven't been the same since. Neither has the media.

One high point came early on, realising, pretty soon after we opened, that the shop was so much more than just a shop. It's a public space for magazine lovers to meet like-minded people: other readers, publishers, wannabe publishers. One example was fashion designer Junya Watanabe, who liked our black totes so much he bought several hundred and incorporated them into a shirt in his next season.

Victims of child exploitation and grooming will have their child prostitution convictions disregarded after years of appalling injustice. New measures announced by the government this week will see victims who were convicted or cautioned as children for loitering and soliciting for prostitution offences automatically have these disregarded and pardoned. Announcing the scheme, the Home Office acknowledged that instead of being supported as victims, those affected were criminalised for actions that occurred under duress, fear and coercion.

There is nothing more important to us than connecting with and making our games available to our great fans,

"I'm not going to," she said. "For me, it's really important to protect her and her story until she's old enough to potentially one day share it herself."

"This [will] empower creators to make data-driven decisions about how they want to grow their channel organically or use paid tools like YouTube Promote."

Since the actress sued her It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni for sexual harassment and retaliation at the end of 2024, a certain class of content creators had been eager to weigh in. In her complaint, Lively had alleged that Baldoni's camp was planting hit pieces about her online. TMZ had just reported that Hilton was one of three influencers Lively had set her sights on.

Podcast creators are redefining influence.

During his "60 Minutes" interview, President Donald Trump called Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer a "kamikaze," complained about investigators searching through his wife's closet, spoke in detail about ending wars and turned the tables on interviewer Norah O'Donnell to ask about safety in Washington, D.C. None of that was seen by people who watched the CBS telecast Sunday night. Less than half of O'Donnell's interview, conducted Friday, actually made it onto the air.

These mobile-first shows run just two to three minutes per episode and are shot vertically, but unlike typical short-form clips they trade quick dopamine hits for narrative tension. Each installment feels like a miniature TV episode complete with characters, arcs and cliffhangers that pull views into the next. Instead of doomscrolling, they bridge - one micro drama at a time.

Netflix is reportedly in talks to license video podcasts distributed by iHeartMedia, according to Bloomberg. iHeartMedia's podcast portfolio includes shows like "The Breakfast Club," "Las Culturistas," "Jay Shetty Podcast," and "Stuff You Should Know." Netflix is looking for exclusivity, which means video podcasts that it licenses from iHeartMedia could no longer be uploaded to YouTube. It's worth noting that if a deal does come together,

As the host of On With Kara Swisher, her twice weekly podcast for Vox Media, she grills leaders in tech and politics, coaxing them to share the things they may not reveal on any other gabfest. For Pivot, her Vox show with New York University marketing professor Scott Galloway, she keeps the banter between herself and her cohost-but still, she doesn't hold back.

Screenshot Fox News is drawing heat from media industry observers for getting duped by an AI-generated video and then failing to take sufficient accountability for the error. In a piece published Friday to Foxnews.com, writer Alba Cuebas-Fantauzzi posted about SNAP beneficiaries threatening to loot stores amid the government shutdown. The piece, originally headlined SNAP Beneficiaries Threaten to Ransack Stores Over Government Shutdown, quoted Black women claiming to be SNAP recipients complaining about the cutoff of benefits due to the shutdown.

Called The Tea, Spilled by Morning Joe, the revamped newsletter for the popular morning show on the network that will soon be called MS NOW (the name change is official on November 15, the network says) took its inspiration from the world of print magazines. It's designed to be part of a larger flywheel to grow and connect with the show's audience.

Which raises a pressing question: Can online magazines survive when ads have plateaued and digital subscriptions still don't cover the cost of producing quality journalism? Maybe the answer is ... AI. Condé has content and data licensing deals with OpenAI, Perplexity and Amazon. But those deals could have steep half-lives, especially when a publisher's value is primarily tied to its library of content.

Posted total net revenue of $180.3 million, a decline of 11.5% year-over-year Generated digital revenue of $39.0 million, a decrease of 2.6% year-over-year But there is nuance in those metrics also, related to the departure of The Dan Bongino Show, an extraordinarily podcast. (Bongino discontinued the podcast when he was recruited as Director of the FBI.) Bongino's departure registers on the finance sheet as a $6.9 million negative impact.

It seems like you have to be a little bit more online or up to date with how fast culture moves just to determine, yes, this is a 'safe brand' - a brand that I'm willing to work with versus a brand that's [in] a little bit of hot water right now,

"The press today depends on multi-trillion-dollar businesses just to survive," Heckman said in a conversation with Mario Nawfal, Founder, IBC Group Official. "They have to play the game of centralized Silicon Valley. They're dependent on multi-trillion-dollar businesses. I don't blame them; they're trying to survive." Heckman explained that premium outlets such as CNN, Fox News, and The New York Times must align their distribution and ad operations with Big Tech to reach audiences.

The problem was: I had never given an interview to The Times. Yet here was a screenshot of the article along with a quote from "me" claiming that Mamdani's platform "doesn't add up." That's the opposite of what I believe and have said dozens of times publicly, including on national television and in this magazine. Yet, here was a major international media outlet, one of the most famous and oldest newspapers in the world, publishing a story stating that I had suddenly reversed myself.

There were 1,853 employees at Montrose on December 31 last, according to the station's annual report for 2024, which has just been published. This was up from 1,836 at the end of 2023. The reclassification of seven contractors to employees accounted for some of the increase. RTÉ is still engaging with the Department of Social Protection about the status of contractors, and paid €0.9m in tax settlements last year as a result of this investigation. The total wages and salaries bill also rose last year, up from €130.2m in 2023 to €132.7m.

When it comes to the appearance of conflict, I am not an ideal owner of The Post.

It's a perfect recipe for complacency at a time when luxury brands are laser-focused on appealing to wealthy consumers. But Sarah Ball, who took over as editor-in-chief of WSJ. in the summer of 2023, succeeding longtime editor Kristina O'Neill, said she wants to broaden the definition of who her reader is. The magazine is profiling more Millennial and Gen-Z movers and shakers, like actress Sydney Sweeney, "Call Her Daddy" podcast host Alex Cooper and TikTokker extraordinaire Alix Earle.
