☆ Media insiders would often gossip about which anchor was about to leave Fox News. None of them guessed Tucker Carlson.
  + stars: | 2023-04-24 | by ( Matt Turner | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The Dominion lawsuit was an embarrassment to Fox, airing text messages the company would rather have kept private. Tucker Carlson's departure is a huge surprise. Like a plot twist in "Succession," the departure of Tucker Carlson from Fox News is one we didn't see coming. The news of Carlson's departure almost immediately wiped close to $1 billion off of Fox Corporation's market capitalization. Upon confirmation that Carlson had left Fox, veteran media reporter Sarah Ellison simply wrote: "Incredible."

  + stars: | 2023-04-24 | by ( Nathan Mcalone | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
NBCU CEO Jeff Shell, Fox News' Tucker Carlson, and CNN's Don Lemon are all out. Shell's bombshell exit took many insiders by surprise, Insider's Claire Atkinson reported on Sunday. Fox News declined to comment beyond its press release saying it had agreed to "part ways" with Carlson. Media watchers had been primed for a Lemon exit for weeks. With all the news of the past 24 hours, media insiders have barely even gotten a chance to drill down into the second wave of layoffs at Disney, which will number in the thousands.

More than one third (35%) of the S & P 500 reports earnings next week — including megacaps Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta Platforms and Amazon — versus less than 12% in the week just ended and only 2% last week.

Private capital has been eyeing public health for years. Several founders and investors told me that the failure of Kleiner's fund made Silicon Valley wary of investing in pandemic preparedness. Venture investors love that kind of thing. Public health and private industryWhen COVID hit, Charity Dean was the assistant director of the California Department of Public Health. In the end, almost every pandemic-related product created by Silicon Valley will ultimately require the government as a primary customer.
☆ 2 Republican leaders pushing for anti-drag laws have dressed in what could be considered drag based on the bill texts' definition
  + stars: | 2023-03-02 | by ( Lloyd Lee | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Both Republican leaders have previously dressed in drag — based on their bills' definition of the word. The Tennessee bill does not include the term "drag" but suggests "male or female impersonators" as one type of entertainment that is "harmful to minors." Schatzline similarly responded on Twitter that his performance was not a "sexually explicit drag show." Yah, that's not a sexually explicit drag show… lol y'all will twist ANYTHING," he tweeted on Monday. Bella DuBalle, a Memphis-based drag queen, previously spoke to Insider about the Tennessee bill and the rise in legislation that associates drag performances with sexually explicit acts.

☆ The CEO of buzzy healthtech startup Vial, which slashed up to 50 jobs last year, asked remaining employees to write positive Glassdoor reviews
  + stars: | 2023-01-31 | by ( Stephanie Palazzolo | Samantha Stokes | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Vial's CEO asked workers to post positive Glassdoor reviews to counter negative ones, Insider found. In a month, 20 positive reviews for Vial flooded the site, raising its rating from one to 3.8 stars. On December 12, Simon Burns, a cofounder and the CEO of the healthtech startup Vial, sent a Slack message in his company's "random-kudos" channel. He included a link to Vial's Glassdoor page and asked other employees to "give her a hand, review us on Glassdoor." In earlier days at the startup, negative employee reviews on Glassdoor cited a toxic culture, a disconnected leadership team, and a lack of industry experience.

Ahead of the deluge of tech layoffs that have plagued the beginning of 2023, one healthtech startup quietly slashed dozens of jobs late last year, Insider has learned. In October, Vial, which helps biotech companies run faster and more efficient trials, laid off an entire division. As of December 2022, Vial had 125 employees, according to Pitchbook.

Noah Schnapp, one of the young stars on Netflix's hit series "Stranger Things," came out on to the internet Thursday using a TikTok trend. Schnapp, 18, posted a video to his verified account featuring popular audio where people describe big life events that weren't "that serious." "When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after being scared in the closet for 18 years and all they said was 'we know,'" Schnapp wrote in the video. During the series' most recent season, fans speculated that Will's character was closeted because he appeared to be in love with his best friend, Mike Wheeler. Schnapp referenced his character in his coming out, writing in the TikTok caption that he was "more similar to Will" than he thought.

A video shows Washington Post staffers shouting at the company's CEO at a town hall meeting. Gowen said the video is from a colleague, and she took it from the Washington Post Guild's chat. At the town hall, Ryan said job cuts will probably be in the "single-digit percentage." The Washington Post Guild did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment ahead of publication. "The Washington Post is evolving and transforming to put our business in the best position for future growth," Kathy Baird, chief communications officer at The Washington Post, said in a statement on Tuesday.
☆ What would happen if the NCAA didn’t exist?

CNN —This past weekend, fans flocked to college football stadiums around the country to cheer on their favorite teams. “And he ruled the NCAA with an iron fist out of Kansas City. Not long after, the NCAA voted to support an interim policy allowing college athletes to make money off of their name, image and likeness. But for the average college athlete playing at a mid-major Division I school, it doesn’t provide much in the way of cash. As ESPN’s Paul Finebaum told me, there are just too many people who care too much about their schools to let that happen.
☆ Bloomberg and CNN won't pay for Twitter verification for reporters, as newsrooms consider Musk's new plan
  + stars: | 2022-11-08 | by ( Steven Perlberg | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Twitter is planning to require users to pay to keep their verification. When reports emerged that the Elon Musk-operated Twitter planned to require users to pay to keep their blue verification badges, a question blossomed in newsrooms: Would media companies front the bill for their reporters? One media company, however, would certainly cover the cost of Twitter verification: Puck. Musk wrote on Twitter last week that he planned to charge $8 per month for a "Twitter Blue" subscription that would include verification. Long considered Twitter power users, journalists make up a large contingent of verified users on the platform, along with celebrities, organizations, and brands.
☆ Newsrooms consider whether to pay for Twitter verification for journalists. For CNN, it's 'highly unlikely,' but for Puck, it's a resounding yes.

Twitter is reportedly planning to require users to pay $20 a month to keep their verification. CNN is unlikely to pay for everyone, while Puck said doing so for its dozen writers was a no brainer. One media company, however, would certainly cover the cost of Twitter verification: Puck. "It's a negligible amount of money for most media companies, even the largest that employ thousands of journalists," Kelly said. Long considered Twitter power users, journalists make up a large contingent of verified users on the platform, along with celebrities, organizations, and brands.
