She was turned down for raise repeatedly despite pleas from city editor it was a “moral” issue. My NPR story: https://www.npr.org/...
Joel D. Anderson / @byjoelanderson: This graf is specific to the LA Times but could broadly apply to the journalism industry specifically and most institutions generally.

Felix Salmon / @felixsalmon: There are certain NYT journalists, who wish to remain anonymous, who prefer the business imperatives of an ad-funded paper to those of a subscriptions-funded paper. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Roger Cohen / New York Times: The Outcry Over ‘Both Sides’ Journalism
Balaji S. Srinivasan / @balajis: People say that the West today has no goals, no metrics, no sense of purpose by which to measure itself. Nonsense! The purpose of every politician, journalist, and intellectual is clearly to amass likes on Twitter. By extension this is now the purpose of Western civilization.
Joseph Wulfsohn / Fox News: NY Times publisher ‘laments’ ousting of editorial page editor over Tom Cotton op-ed
Noah Shachtman / @noahshachtman: NYT's publisher and CEO both express deep, on-the-record regret about James Bennet stepping down. Pretty clear they wanted the guy to stick around. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Girish Gupta / @jammastergirish: So it was Jim Dao—the New York Times opinion editor who accused me of working for the Venezuelan government when I pointed out a factual error in one of his pieces—who published the Cotton piece. https://twitter.com/...
Angela Walch / @angela_walch: Or, say, what if speakers at crypto conferences had a disclosed crypto affiliation by their name? Or if every crypto core dev had a disclosed funding affiliation by their name? https://twitter.com/...
Preston Byrne / @prestonjbyrne: Twitter is one off-the-platform controversy away from losing this title. As soon as the conversation goes somewhere else, Twitter loses this power. https://twitter.com/...
Dave Rubin / @rubinreport: Interesting thread. I'll add... The game is rigged and we all know it's rigged. Twitter boosts and deboosts certain accounts. It's in the Terms of Service. So the numbers being chased are fake in the first place. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Paul Graham / @paulg: I had long suspected that the reason for the NYT's sharp leftward shift was that highly partisan articles drive subscriber signups, but this is the first confirmation I've seen from inside the business. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Balaji S. Srinivasan / @balajis: Interesting thought experiment: what if every journalist had a disclosed political affiliation by their name, like politicians do? John Smith, D-NYT Jane Doe, R-WSJ The AP style guide once considered this “essential” information. https://www.ap.org/... https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Benedict Evans / @benedictevans: I don't understand. everyone says ad-funded models drive divisiveness and a subscription model has no such problems? https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: The Times has been publishing 120 opinion pieces every week? That seems like overkill https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Simon Boyi Chen / @simonbchen: Neither political nor a journalist, but will proudly publicly affiliate myself with Pastafarianism https://twitter.com/...
Oedipa Maas / @bridgietherease: I love a good heavy investment in the growth of opinion https://twitter.com/...
Balaji S. Srinivasan / @balajis: Twitter is now the supreme force in Western civilization. It edits both Trump and the Times. Neither the president of the United States of America nor the publisher of the New York Times can write whatever they want if Twitter doesn't like it. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: Every revenue stream — every — carries conflict of interest. .@jayrosen_nyu explored the conflict inherent in a subscription-sustained Times in 2018: https://pressthink.org/... https://twitter.com/...
Seth Mandel / @sethamandel: Bari was and remains the original target. Everyone else is collateral damage https://twitter.com/...
David Carroll / @profcarroll: The commercial web was built to monetize quantity, not quality, using a magical metric that fails to measure scarcity. Everything in digital publishing runs downstream from that fundamentally flawed baked-in business imperative. https://twitter.com/...
Michael Calderone / @mlcalderone: “I really lament the loss of a talent that I respect and admire more than you could know,” AG Sulzberger said of Bennet's departure https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: “It's OK to make people angry, just don't do it by accident. In other words, it's one thing to choose to stride into controversy with eyes open, but it's quite another to stumble into it...” https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Kurt Andersen / @kbandersen: I knew they'd been publishing a ton of opinion pieces, but the actual number—120 a week!—shocked me. I think at that volume, the delicate balance between diversity-of-voices and @nytimes-seal-of- approval is just impossible to maintain. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...

Aaron W. Gordon / @a_w_gordon: Wait a minute...is it pronounced “qui-bye?” https://www.wsj.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Garance Franke-Ruta / @thegarance: As far as I can tell Quibi is a vehicle for moving money from one group of rich people to another group of rich people for a product no one needs. https://twitter.com/...
Tom Gara / @tomgara: Quibi is burning a truly heroic amount of cash. It raised $1.75 billion from investors, expects to have spent *a billion* of it by *October* and will need to raise at least $200 million more by the middle of next year to keep going. https://www.wsj.com/...

Quarantiana / @tianathefirst: This provides some pretty damning insight into the rank narcissism, from billionaire creators to Hollywood airhead actors, required to create anything so financially and artistically disastrous as Quibi. https://www.wsj.com/...

@nytmedia: Chris Wallace is comfortable being a bit of an enigma. For every Trump loyalist who views him as a heretic, there is a liberal who wishes he'd denounce colleagues like Sean Hannity. (To be clear: He won't.) https://www.nytimes.com/...
Sam Thielman / @samthielman: I really wish this had dealt with the supposedly evenhanded content of Wallace's work. He persistently refers to public benefits as “entitlements” including during the 2016 debate and he's obsessed with abortion. He's not a good-faith actor. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Howard Mortman / @howardmortman: .@grynbaum writes of Chris Wallace: As NBC chief WH correspondent “he had feisty reputation, squabbling with Sam Donaldson over camera positions in briefing room” https://www.nytimes.com/... From 5/13/1988 here's WaPost photog Dayna Smith describing “altercation...thought fistfight” https://twitter.com/...
Tom Fitzgerald / @fitzfox5dc: There's a reason he's one of the most well respected journalists we have. It doesn't matter if it's on @FoxNewsSunday, moderating a Presidential debate, or writing a book. Chris Wallace is the gold standard. No flash. No B.S. and always pushing for the truth. https://twitter.com/...
@nytimes: “Look, I work at Fox. Do I agree with some of the stuff I hear? Absolutely not,” the “Fox News Sunday” anchor Chris Wallace told @grynbaum. “In the end, I have decided that what matters to me is what I am allowed to do.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Mehdi Hasan / @mehdirhasan: The problem with this otherwise decent NYT profile of Chris Wallace is its - again - failure to name the problem. Fox's primetime problem is not that it's ‘pro Trump’ but that it boosts white nationalism, & crazy conspiracism. Is Wallace ok with *that*? https://www.nytimes.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: Chris Wallace: “One of the things I loved most about coming up with the idea for the book, researching the book, writing the book, and now talking about the book, is it has nothing to do with Donald Trump.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: “In the end, I have decided that what matters to me is what I am allowed to do.” Chris Wallace on how he rationalizes working at Fox News. https://www.nytimes.com/... In other words, no one calls me up and tells me which guests I can book, what I can and cannot ask them, and so on.
