Exclusive: NBC News launches ‘Dateline Chatline’ to make broadcast more social  —  When Dateline first launched on NBC News back in 1992, it was unclear whether this TV news magazine would fail after so many other NBC attempts had tanked.  Now in it's 20th season, the network is launching …

Jules Stenson / The Huffington Post:
There Is Life After The News of the World  —  It lasted little more than two minutes and, like the best News of the World splashes, was executed with brutal finality.  Without any warning, we were called from our desks to the centre of the newsroom where Rebekah Brooks was waiting for us with our editor Colin Myler alongside her.
Ben Adler / CJR:
Piecemeal existence  —  For today's young freelancers, what will traffic bear?  —  In 2009, an editor for a new website called The Faster Times, which sought to be “an edgier Huffington Post,” emailed to ask if I was interested in a part-time job.  I didn't know it was possible to be edgier than HuffPo …

Jonathan Peters / Slate:
The Supreme Court Leaks  —  The high court has a long and storied history of dishing on itself.  —  The Supreme Court isn't supposed to be like other institutions.  It's supposed to be something more, a place above partisan squabbling, insulated from the unseemly back and forth of politics.
