I didn't know what to make of it a few days ago, when @bstarrreports wrote, "For now at least, several familiar institutions remain, including CBS, CNN, ABC, Reuters, and the Associated Press—but no one knows who will be next." Guess we know now.

A little surprised he burned his "write about English football" pass so early in the year, but it's definitely worth a read! Documentary "content" is a topic close to my heart.
Delighted that @CJR asked me to write about the English football team I support and make content about, Plymouth Argyle; the media storm that ensued when they hired Wayne Rooney as head coach; a scrapped doc project; and access v. gossip:
