Some new illustrations / logo treatment from me in this great investigation series:
#CaspianCabals, an ICIJ-led investigation with 20+ media partners, is based on tens of thousands of pages of confidential emails, oil industry records, court documents and regulatory filings and hundreds of interviews.
Coming to you this evening! Sign up: buff.ly/3AQhEBP

Jeremy is fantastic, tremendous hire. I just need you to all be aware his brother wrote the 2010 recession pop banger “Like a G6” (really, this is true)
We’re thrilled to welcome Jeremy Singer-Vine as our new data editor. nytco.com/press/jeremy-singe…

How much does Venmo hate you having privacy? So much that they wouldn’t allow private contacts despite constant complaints until finally in 2021 @RMac18 used public Friends to find Joe Biden’s personal account, and finally Venmo caved buzzfeednews.com/article/rya…
Here's my brother (who is much less cool and not nearly as good looking) getting Fox5 DC hosts sloshed this morning. Good job @Obes64! fox5dc.com/video/1482730

Perplexity’s knock off of our reporting feels like a crystallization of the "Can journalism survive AI?" convo. The company took our paywalled work, without our permission, and competitively broadcast it across web, video, mobile — as though it were itself a media outlet.
Our reporting on Eric Schmidt’s stealth drone project was posted this AM by @perplexity_ai . It rips off most of our reporting. It cites us, and a few that reblogged us, as sources in the most easily ignored way possible. Note the views. #zeroclick forbes.com/sites/sarahemerso…

I messaged Adolfo as soon as I saw this news, but let me just say publicly that media organizations making dumb moves is not news, sadly, but laying off Adolfo in an election year is among the dumber moves out there. He is an incredible reporter and a good person. Hire him.
I was among those laid off from the @WSJ along with @ailworth, @cmaiduc, @acaldwellwsj, @ShannonNajma, @bkesling, @SuryatapaB, and @TalalNAnsari. Grateful for those who trusted me with their stories and for my amazing colleagues. Not sure what’s next, but I'm excited to find out.

"@markseibel tells stories" were always the most delightful times in the BFN newsroom
Happy retirement to @markseibel, a brilliant, exacting editor whose chaotic energy matched my own and never thought twice about launching me (young, inexperienced & female) into a wild national security beat.
Wish all reporters were as lucky!Now let’s bully him to write a memoir
