Sergey Ponomarev for The New York Times [Your Tuesday Briefing] By SEAN ALFANO Good morning. Here’s what you need to know: • Trump vs. the news media. President-elect Donald J. Trump’s transition update is grabbing attention for how it was delivered on Monday: [an infomercial-style YouTube video] laying out his goals for creating jobs. The video underscores how Mr. Trump may try to navigate around traditional news outlets. Mr. Trump also met privately with executives and anchors at the major TV networks and was said to have [called their campaign coverage] dishonest. Mr. Trump, who has not held a news conference since winning the election, is scheduled to meet today with representatives of The Times. • President-elect’s business dealings. During a recent meeting, Mr. Trump [encouraged a British politician] to oppose the kind of offshore wind farms that he believes will mar the view from one of his Scottish golf courses, according to a media consultant who was present. Separately, we look at how an [obscure provision of the Constitution] poses risks for Mr. Trump if he continues to reap benefits from dealings with companies controlled by foreign governments. • Deadly school bus crash in Tennessee. The driver was charged with vehicular homicide after at least five children were killed when the bus overturned and [hit a tree in Chattanooga]. Nearly three dozen elementary school students were on board. • Displaced in Iraq. The military campaign to oust the Islamic State from Mosul is in its sixth week. Our photographer and reporter covering the battle focus on an intensifying humanitarian crisis: [the thousands of residents trying to flee]. Stories of anguish like one from a grief-stricken man searching for his parents are common. “I have not heard from them,” he told our reporter. “I am always crying.” • North Dakota pipeline protest. In our latest 360 video, a lifelong resident of the [Standing Rock Indian Reservation] talks about his relationship to the land and the water, and his fear for their future. Law enforcement officials defended their recent [use of fire hoses] against protesters, despite temperatures below freezing. • Rewriting Olympics history. The fallout from revelations of Russia’s state-run doping program is [altering the record books] for the 2008 and 2012 Summer Games, in Beijing and London. The retesting of stored urine samples has incriminated at least 40 medal winners. Business • Earlier we dissected the making of a fake news story. Today, we look at a Washington pizzeria that [is reeling from menacing calls] and online abuse after fake stories claimed it was a child-trafficking site. “It’s endless,” the owner says of the threats. • Worried about hacking or surveillance, or both? Here are [seven steps to protect your digital life]. • Sabra is recalling some varieties of hummus with a “best before” date of Jan. 23, 2017, or earlier, [over listeria concerns]. • Life at [call centers in India and the Philippines] is the subject of a photographer’s new project, which opens a window to the world on the other end of the line. “How much do they earn? How important is this job for them? Does it help their families or not? I wanted to have answers to this,” he writes. • U.S. stocks [were up] on Monday. Here’s a snapshot of [global markets]. Noteworthy • Obama to hand out prestigious award. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ellen DeGeneres, Robert De Niro, and Bill and Melinda Gates will be among the 21 Americans receiving the [Presidential Medal of Freedom] today. It is the nation’s highest civilian honor. • Kanye West hospitalized. Exhaustion has landed the rapper in the hospital, and he has [canceled the remainder of his tour], his representative said. Onstage in Sacramento on Saturday night, Mr. West delivered [a long, meandering speech] on politics and the music industry. • In memoriam. William Trevor, an Irish writer, [has died at 88]. He focused his mournful, darkly funny short stories and novels on “the sadness of fate.” [Here are excerpts] from some of his works. • “Historic gastronomist.” Sarah Lohman may have one of the best jobs in the world. Ms. Lohman searches old cookbooks to recreate forgotten dishes as a way of studying the effects of earlier cooking on modern eating. One of her most notable endeavors was [drinking like a man in colonial America] following accounts that had her slug down whiskey, hard cider and a hot toddy all before noon. • Recipe of the day. [Bake a frittata] with spicy Italian sausage, broccoli rabe and cheese. Back Story Ah, the family road trip. Every country with cars knows the drill, and this week the United States will see some of its busiest [traveling days of the year] with the Thanksgiving holiday. [AAA predicts] that 43.5 million Americans will be on the roads. What to do as you’re going over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s house? While [m][odern-day comforts], apps and back-of-the-seat screens have made it easier to pass the time while on the road, the games of yesteryear can offer a twinge of nostalgia for adults and a tablet-free option to entertain the kids. Whether it’s spotting roadside novelties — as in [I Spy] or Bingo — or vehicles from different states (or countries) — as in the [license plate game] — most games are variations on a scavenger hunt. ([Punch Buggy], which depends on spotting a dwindling supply of old Volkswagen Beetles, could just be an exercise in frustration.) In Britain, car snooker adapts the rules of the variant of billiards on which it’s based, requiring players to spot vehicles of different colors. Earlier this year, The Times also collected [favorite travel games from readers] (one is titled “Guess What I Saw”). Perhaps in the aftermath of a contentious election, getting to dinner might be more fun than the destination itself. Chris Stanford contributed reporting. _____ Your Morning Briefing is published weekdays at 6 a.m. Eastern and [updated on the web all morning]. What would you like to see here?
