🏈On NewsNation’s new podcast “BIFF,” ESPN’s @KirkHerbstreit says college football “collectives” are all but “bribing" players, and it has him and former Michigan interim head coach @BiffPoggi worried about the future of college athletics. Watch the debut episode here: youtube.com/watch?v=E0NPjyE6…

There are dozens of reporters trapped at section 114 and they are not letting them back inside the arena. Ushers said the fire marshal won’t let more people in (even though these reporters have assigned seats).

I carried Malört shooters around the entire city of Chicago trying to get politicians to try what Gov. @JBPritzker called the unofficial drink of the Democratic National Convention for the @washingtonpost.

Alden is making obscene money; we want fair wages to fight inflation, recognize our efforts to provide watchdog journalism and bring fairness to the gender, ethnic and racial disparities in pay. Alden needs to stop being stupid. Don't cut healthcare. Protect seniority.
Investigative reporter Ray Long went on strike because he hasn’t had a raise “in years & years & years” as Alden squeezes reporters and readers.
“We want Alden to know that we will not buckle to their baloney and we’re ready to rock — harder & harder & harder.” — @RayLong

The shocking news about jurors streaming the hearing on cell phones in the back has caused the judge to take a break.
Everyone is asking each other in the courtroom what this means big picture.

Last week CNN asked me how I explain the downturn in the news industry: big layoffs, scant investment, no recovery in sight.
A list of factors is not an explanation, I said. But that is what I have.
So here's my thread. None of it should be news to people in the business. 0/

Calling all journalists. APPLY for a journalism fellowship. Good experience. Some deadlines are coming up very soon, but if anyone can make a deadline, it's a journalist. If you know of one, let me know. SHARE

As the CTA has become less reliable and less safe, its president
* doesn't undergo performance reviews
* works w/out a written contract detailing his duties
* rarely faces scrutiny from the CTA board
* hardly rides the trains or buses
But his salary jumped from $230k to $376k.
CTA’s Dorval Carter has seen his salary grow 60% since he took the position and has received biannual raises since 2018. This all came w/o a single performance review of his work, something other large transit agencies do. My first w/ @mack_liederman blockclubchicago.org/2023/10…
