I am going to miss Stephen Colbert beyond words. But these segments last night remind me how much I miss the glorious, unexpected chaos of David Letterman.

This is GLORIOUS

David Letterman & Stephen Colbert on the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theatre bringing back the classic @Letterman routine one last time

This is how you go out, @StephenAtHome! 😂

And may @CBS implode literally the same way without you

My 2026 prediction was inspired by something I heard from the very first keynote at the @newsproduct Summit. I discuss how product teams will lead the way to unlocking the value of AI for media organizations in three areas: agents, archives and vibe coding.

[Nieman Lab @NiemanLab]

.@cindyroyal: “Archives can be used to create new value from decades of reporting, becoming a living, dynamic asset rather than an attic of locked-away, hidden gems.”

This sounds like a product approach, but I am leery of creating a separate newsroom for “service and social journalism.” And the focus on video and AI seems limited. https://t.co/9uz0JiD619

Thrilled to be on the team that proposed and will work on this initiative!
