@DylanByers Might be something here. But DC also feels like the only city in the country where it’d be a reasonable expectation for bars to have TVs turned to news networks at all.

outrageous. media companies need to find a way to get info out faster than in print. perhaps a way to publish instantaneously, and in a manner that could be updated as news develops. and what if, someday, you could somehow get the articles without having to go to a newsstand?

I’m thrilled to share that I’m joining the @PhillyInquirer as an #Eagles reporter.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped me get to this point.

My first assignment is the NFL Draft. Eagles fans, let’s get to know each other before then.

Let’s gooooo.

Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa, Iowa State, Illinois, Nebraska, Purdue. This Midwest is taking over March Madness and I’m so here for it.

[Will Compton @_willcompton]

This is the Sweet 16 matchup that the Midwest prayed for

Nebraska vs Iowa

Nationally, I don’t think people understand how great this is

This is war

[Chris Vannini @ChrisVannini]

The Iowa-Nebraska Sweet 16 game will need security like a soccer derby in the Balkans.

Months before the World Cup, FIFA is beginning to claw back the spare change it offered host cities for footing the bill.

This all sounds exciting and genuinely well thought out as it's written here. Really rooting for it. That said, what's described here is a massive undertaking to do with 100 total staffers across all aspects of the company.

[Max Tani @maxwelltani]

As we first reported in last night's @semafor media newsletter, NOTUS is rebranding/dramatically expanding. In a memo to staff this morning, the organization said it plans to "launch this new version of NOTUS under a new name" and double staff from 50 to 100.

The size of the @nytimes newsroom: Publisher AG Sulzberger says it’s now 2300 journalists, doubled from 10 years ago.

RE: A.J. Brown being traded. Most everything I wrote in the below column stands a week later:

- #Eagles are assessing the market
- Their asking price is believed to be 1st and 2d round draft picks (as I’ve learned since, at a minimum, although the swap can have multiple moving pieces)
- There is a general sense that a decision needs to come before the league year (a then there will be a reassessment after the team makes their initial moves in FA)
- The Patriots are the most likely suitors (and are interested)

The Bills trading for WR D.J. Moore may have altered Brown’s value, which some league executives had compared to draft compensation received in previous trades for Stefen Diggs and DK Metcalf (essentially a 2d rounder)

The Eagles likely want something closer to what the Packers got from the Raiders for Devante Adams (a 1 and 2) several years ago, as @AlbertBreer and I spoke about on my most recent podcast https://t.co/03B74SawCi

We also spoke about A.J. Brown’s supposed unhappiness and how there is nuance to that topic. The Eagles don’t see that as great an issue as some outsiders.

I still believe whatever apparent standoff the Eagles are having with the Pats about compensation could be resolved, especially if the Ravens, Chargers or Colts have legit interest. But the clock is ticking.

[Max Tani @maxwelltani]

Shows the difference in incentives for journalists and creators. A journalist’s primary objective in an interview is to make news. A political influencer’s objective is to keep their audience on board and further their side’s agenda. Making news is kind of a bonus.

[Mike Sielski @MikeSielski]

Just a point of annoyance: Yeah, Nick Castellanos confirmed the beer-in-the-dugout story. But the real credit goes to @MattGelb, who had it & went to Castellanos & his agent for comment. Only then did Castellanos put it out there. Good reporting forced his hand.

Rich is super talented. I’ve read his content for years, most recently every morning with his must-read newsletter.

More than being an excellent writer and intrepid reporter, he’s a total professional and any outlet would be lucky to have him on staff.

Can't imagine anything like this ever happening in Philly.
