    Local news has a bright future. Let's not conflate its promise with the death of the newspaper -- to be clear, not a state I celebrate, but expecting a 1:1 replacement, or a new "business model" for the Daily Miracle, is the wrong goal here.

    “When we spoke last month, for about four hours one afternoon, Greenberg had the giddy air of someone planning their own wedding.”

    The fall of Yahoo is one of the great media stories of the 2010s. At one point there was no larger news source. Things have, uh, changed. Good luck on this stuff, guy!

    SCOOP: Yahoo’s new CEO will be Jim Lanzone, CEO of Tinder. His long-term plans include spinning out verticals like Yahoo Finance and Yahoo Sports or taking the entire company public

    Media reporting is so bad and unhelpful to readers around company revenue. This week, a bunch of people wrote stories about BuzzFeed revenue, with no context.

    Major thanks to the Quadrivium Foundation for believing in this mission. As put it “having strong local journalism is key to holding government accountable.”

    We have some exciting news to share: has received a $5M gift from Kathryn & James Murdoch’s Quadrivium in support of our work helping local nonprofit newsrooms build models that work.

    This is almost the definition of breathless hype and there is almost no actual news in it (except promotion for a forthcoming book) so I guess congrats on winning the news cycle or whatever Total empty calorie reporting.

    I was particularly taken by: Vice ...(is) delivering to advertisers eyeballs from a niche audience. That is almost never the route to success in publishing. has interesting things to say abt a volume strategy with a niche audience. Niche monetizes differently!

    This is very good.

    What can be learned from what’s become of Vice? This week’s Second Rough Draft newsletter.

    This is a sign of a healthy digital local news ecosystem.

    .'s contributions as a founding reporter are impossible to adequately recognize in 280 characters. I'm not going to try. Instead, here's 3,600 or so characters. I could write a lot more! I'm thrilled for your next adventure, Mo! I'll be reading. <3

    We're looking for a Director of Audience at . As a newer org folks often have questions before they apply. That's why we have a "hiring hotline". You can schedule a 20 min call to ask me anything you might want to know before you submit your application.

    “This summer was supposed to be great, and it was supposed to move in a linear direction, instead of schismatically looping forward and backward, and for this to just feel like a state that will never end.”

    Philly's patchwork rail system is super confusing, particularly for new arrivals; this $40M rebrand (!!) won't even address the Regional Rail, which has its own charming complexities (not all trains go the full route of the line they're on, some are expresses, etc.)

    SEPTA is testing out a new name for its rail network: the Metro
