[Nieman Lab: The Daily Digest] Tuesday, June 4, 2024 [Does curiosity make you read more hard news? How about anxiety?]( A new study finds that certain personality traits might make you exaggerate — or underestimate — how much political news you consume. By Joshua Benton. [What’s in a byline? For Hoodline’s AI-generated local news, everything — and nothing]( None of the AI writers seems to have a specific beat, except possibly for what can be best described as “police exploits,” which they all cover with gusto. By Neel Dhanesha. [We always thought The Epoch Times was sketchy, but this is really something]( [For most news outlets, Trump’s conviction was front-page news. What about local chains?]( What We’re Reading Axios / Sara Fischer [CNN’s testing a registration wall in a push for data →]( “The registration gateway doesn’t require payment, but it gives CNN access to first-party data that it could use to improve its ad products or eventually sell subscriptions…It comes as CEO Mark Thompson has begun teasing a possible consumer subscription strategy for the company’s digital products.” The Guardian / Margaret Sullivan [If the Washington Post is to fly again, its journalists must share the cockpit →]( “Journalists don’t delude themselves that newsrooms are democracies; they know they don’t get a vote. But successful newsrooms aren’t dictatorships, either.” The Atlantic / Lawrence Wood [How I became the Ken Jennings of the New Yorker caption contest →]( “I know, because my wife and friends keep reminding me, that not everyone shares my obsession, so I try to pretend I don’t care that much. When I meet new people, I never bring up the contest on my own—deep down, though, I hope someone else will, because it’s all I want to talk about. (You can imagine my delight when an editor at The Atlantic asked me to write this article.)” The Daily Beast / Justin Baragona [G/O Media sells off Gizmodo →]( G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller in a company-wide memo: “After serious consideration, G/O Media’s board of directors have decided to accept [European company Keleops Media’s] offer for a variety of reasons which include Keleops’ agreement to keep Gizmodo’s entire staff intact and a sale valuation that represents a substantial premium from our original purchase price for the site.” The New York Times / Kevin Roose [OpenAI insiders warn of a ‘Reckless’ race for dominance →]( “When I signed up for OpenAI, I did not sign up for this attitude of ‘Let’s put things out into the world and see what happens and fix them afterward.'” Mother Jones / Ali Breland [How Q became everything →]( “The conspiracy group’s goal was to convince people the world is run by pedophiles, and, well, mission accomplished.” NOTUS / Matt Fuller and Tara Golshan [Inside the Washington Post after a surprise newsroom shake-up →]( “Washington Post staffers are concerned that Lewis is cleaning house, sources told NOTUS. They fear that he’s installing allies to consolidate power over an editorial vision they don’t have clarity on just months ahead of one of the most contentious election years in American history.” Axios / Sara Fischer [WSJ plans multimillion-dollar brand campaign amid newsroom changes →]( “The campaign tagline, ‘It’s Your Business,’ is meant to ‘shift the perception of the Journal that prospects may have. Those who think the Journal isn’t for them,’ said Sherry Weiss, chief marketing officer of the Journal’s parent company Dow Jones.” The New York Times / Michael M. Grynbaum [The low-key British newshound taking charge of the Washington Post →]( “Taciturn and low key, more likely to be buried in documents at his desk than hobnobbing at a Mayfair club, [Robert] Winnett, the deputy editor of The Daily Telegraph, is known for his focus on breaking news, once earning the nickname ‘Rat Boy’ for his relentless drive for scoops.” Mediaite / Alex Griffing [Feds indict Epoch Times CFO in massive money laundering scheme →]( U.S. attorney Damian Williams: “As alleged, Bill Guan, the Chief Financial Officer of a global newspaper and media company, conspired with others to benefit himself, the media company, and its affiliates by laundering tens of millions of dollars in fraudulently obtained unemployment insurance benefits and other crime proceeds. When banks raised questions about the funds, Guan allegedly lied repeatedly and falsely claimed that the funds came from legitimate donations to the media company. “ Slate Magazine / Scott Nover [When a lifetime Rolling Stone subscription isn’t for life →]( “‘That was not our agreement. Our agreement was the lifetime of you or the lifetime of the magazine, if you pay $99—and $99 back then was a lot of money for a magazine subscription.’ He even put the subscription in his son’s name so it would live on beyond him.” [Nieman Lab]( / [Fuego]( [Twitter]( / [Facebook]( [View email in browser]( [Unsubscribe]( You are receiving this daily newsletter because you signed up for for it at www.niemanlab.org.
