PBS and affiliate stations are in trouble if federal funding to public media is eliminated. TV is expensive to produce and at least half of the federal grants go to local stations that use the money to buy PBS programs. I don’t think eliminating the DEI office is going to protect them, though.

The White House stenographers have a problem. Donald Trump is talking so much, the people responsible for transcribing his public remarks are struggling to keep up with all the words.

White House stenographers are struggling to keep up with Donald Trump as the president has been speaking 'nearly nonstop'

Bets on which podcasters will be front row.

Nieman Lab @niemanlab.org · Jan 29

Leavitt announced several changes to the White House briefings designed to “bring in more voices.”

If you Google "inauguration day," you're greeted with an animation of fireworks forming the shape of the American flag. Google has never done something like this for the inauguration, sources told me, out of fear of appearing partisan. But that's changed now, with Sergey and Sundar attending.

The news cycle was pretty heavy this year, which made me all the more grateful to have @headgum.com's Handsome podcast (hosted by comedians Tig Notaro, Mae Martin, and Charlotte-area's own Fortune Feimster) as an audio pal.
