When the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis happened on Wednesday morning, MS NOW correspondent Alex Tabet was already on the ground documenting local protests against a fresh push of federal immigration raids in Minnesota. The shooting, which left the 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three dead, became an immediate and national political firestorm for control of the narrative.

The BBC has said it has reached a settlement with a Jewish family who survived Hamas's 7 October attacks in southern Israel after a news crew filmed inside their destroyed home. The reporting team, which included senior correspondent Jeremy Bowen, entered the Horenstein family's home in the days after the attacks in 2023. A BBC spokesperson said on Friday: While we do not generally comment on specific legal issues we are pleased to have reached an agreement in this case.

Carine Abouseif, Senior Editor: As an editor, my ears always perk up when I hear a story described as "juicy." That's how we talked about contributing writer Tajja Isen's essay, " The Publishing Industry Has a Gambling Problem," as it made its way through our editorial process. Tajja interviewed writers, book editors, and literary agents about the concept of "sales track"-a term for the number of books a writer has sold. Low sales numbers can cut down a writer's career before it's even really begun, shaping how an agent pitches their second book and whether editors will buy it.

Earlier this week, the Washington Post announced that it would be launching "personalized" AI powered podcasts that would let users choose their own AI host to regale them on their choice of topics. And now for an entirely unsurprising update: the AI podcasts have turned out to be complete, error ridden disasters. Semafor reports that less than 48 hours after launching, the AI podcasts have sparked outrage among the WaPo's rank and file and editors alike.

The two were once in a relationship and were the talk of Washington, D.C.'s spicy political circles. Nuzzi was the wunderkind who wrote well-received, insider-type profiles at places such as Vanity Fair, New York magazine and The Daily Beast. Lizza, 18 years her senior, had a resume that included work at places such as New York, The New Yorker, CNN and Politico.

Both Williams and Storrie have become overnight sensations thanks to their roles as rival ice hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov respectively in the new sports romance series, which premiered on Friday 28 November. Owing to the pair's undeniable chemistry both on and off screen - and some very steamy sex scenes - the duo have become the latest infatuation of the thirstiest corner of Gay Twitter.

When they engage with the news - if they do - they hear a cacophony of voices. They don't know who to believe. Reporters are biased. They make mistakes. Besides, why would you hitch your future to a dying industry? "There is a lot of commentary - 'Oh, good for you. Look what you're walking into. You're going to be screaming into the void. You're going to be useless,' said Murphy, a 21-year-old graduate student at the University of Maryland's journalism school.

But I understand why it's important if you're at the New York Times or a network to claim to be completely objective. Vanity Fair's west coast editor shared her thoughts on objectivity vs. subjectivity when asked about the state of the media world and the future of journalism, while talking to Patrick Murray, the director of Monmouth University's Polling Institute at the time. I never had a mandate to be objective and be this news robot, like an AP wire, right? she told Murray.

What exactly is it that causes Tulsa "truthstorian" Lee Raybon to compromise his journalistic integrity and sleep with a subject-cum-source? It could be as simple as going halfsies on a fifth of tequila with Betty Jo Washberg, the most gifted flirt in Tulsa. Or you could chalk it up to the bombshell that Lee's ex - the one who didn't "believe" in marriage back when it was Lee asking - has recently decided to walk down the aisle with a dentist. (She probably flosses, too.)

1. Journalism that reports on the world as it actually is. 2. Journalism that is fair, fearless, and factual. 3.

[T]he highest order of business" for journalists is to try and get to the facts without giving shooters the attention they seek, but that's become more difficult with this new wave of "performative" attacks,Terence Samuel, chair of the National Press Foundation Board of Directors and former editor-in-chief at USA Today, told Axios. Threat level: Theinternet subculture that fosters and spreads extremist communities online isn't going anywhere, and journalists have to learn how to navigate the toxic ideology they put out.

Reporting on a press conference in Utah on Tuesday, Gutman described text messages allegedly sent by suspect Tyler Robinson to his partner as very touching in a way that many of us didn't expect. The journalist went on to call the exchange a very intimate portrait into this relationship that he said highlighted the duality of the alleged killer, pointing to Robinson's repeated messages referring to his partner as my love.

Almost immediately I began to get intensely pressured about the contents of my columns, not from anyone within ATL, but from the partnership at the law firm where I was then employed. My God, what if someone realized their lawyer wasn't the intellectual equivalent of a genital-less Ken doll and was instead a real, live person with agency who actually had opinions about things?

Mrs Justice Steyn's judgment is about power and complicity as well as the failure to protect vulnerable people. In her verdict, she agreed with the Guardian that there were strong grounds to believe that [Clarke] is a serial abuser of women. The court heard testimony from 26 witnesses before concluding that Clarke had engaged in harassment, bullying and abuse of power over many years. The judge accepted some of his evidence, but found him to be neither credible or reliable.
