As someone who has been chronicling Philly for nearly 20 years and has watched @PhillyInquirer go through many different cycles, I think they’ve finally hit the sweet spot. It’s become a must-have subscription, and their Instagram content is sooo good. They’ve finally embraced social media in a way that feels fresh, engaging and relevant.

LeBron James cannot be a true member of the #Sixers if he’s commuting from New York. He must live in Mount Airy, Queen Village, or in a tent on the beach in Wildwood. My column:

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?
This seemed so outrageous (even for the NYT) that I wanted to verify it I went and got a physical copy and took this photo The shooting was at 8:34pm ET on Saturday night Is this not enough time to get the story in print? If not, then how is this “news”?

Pretty simple concept, albeit rare in the world. “A primary purpose of the First Amendment is to enable the press to publish what it will and the public to read what it chooses, free of any official proscription.” nytimes.com/2026/03/20/us/fe…

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.
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.

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 audacy.com/podcast/uncoverin… 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.

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.
Obama: "Yes aliens are real." Interviewer: "Haha. OK, let's move onto the next topic."
