NEW: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will continue publishing! It has been acquired by the nonprofit Venetoulis Institute, which runs the Baltimore Banner. My story here: nytimes.com/2026/04/14/bus…

Matt Shearer pitched his first-ever live show as the “most unhinged episode of Oprah.” He delivered with a furry, poop songs, a Red Line car seat, $5 Dunkin’ gift cards for all, and lots of Masshole energy. More on the famed reporter who took his viral videos onstage in my reply:

This is increasingly becoming the only way to sustain journalism in resort communities. Three of the four Vineyard Gazette reporters live in a house together rented by the paper, and I live in housing provided by the Gazette.

@leomschwartz @theinformation Congrats Leo!!

Thrilled to share that I'm joining @theinformation in early May! As a longtime (and constantly envious) reader, I can't wait to be part of the team

“The paper can’t survive if it can’t get young people to come and work here,” said Ed Miller, editor of The Provincetown Independent, about why the outlet's nonprofit partner bought a condo to house reporters at below-market rates.

Faced with a lack of housing, a Cape Cod nonprofit bought a condo for Provincetown Independent reporters via @aidanfitzryan for @BostonGlobe bostonglobe.com/2026/04/07/bus…

My latest: Nonprofit news pioneer VTDigger is facing several challenges, years after it established itself as Vermont's news outlet of record: the departure of its editor and CEO, financial losses, and a tense contract negotiation with its editorial union. bostonglobe.com/2026/04/02/bus…

Plus, I can learn how @tnyfrontrow's style isn't limited to his film criticism! At a time when we're so saturated with visual content that can often look the same, it's so refreshing to go beyond bylines and see the diversity of style among writers. @newyorker/video/7584249539071069454" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@newyorker/vid…

The best thing about media's push into vertical video is that people can discover local journalism legends like @emilysweeney

More on the idea of a merger between two of public media's most prominent organizations, from notes that the leaders of WBUR and GBH sent to their respective staffs Thursday.

NEW: GBH and WBUR have long insisted that there’s room for two public media giants in Boston. In an era without federal funding, could that come to an end? “It would make a lot of sense to merge,” GBH CEO Susan Goldberg told me. bostonglobe.com/2026/03/12/bus…

New from me: A Milton-based startup that launched this week is aiming to be a MasterClass for new parents, with videos created by working pediatricians. With so much free parenting content online, can it break out? bostonglobe.com/2026/03/02/bus…

@julito77 @BostonGlobe Thank you, Julio! Really appreciate it.

@aidanfitzryan @BostonGlobe I got the last 3 days today, and it was joyful. Love the work you are delivering these days. I especially like the one about sports journalism, post-layoffs at the Post.

The @BostonGlobe presses are quiet tonight, as its executives have made the unprecedented decision to not print and deliver a paper Tuesday due to Monday's monster of a blizzard. bostonglobe.com/2026/02/23/bus…

Dartmouth has moved swiftly to embrace AI. @ditikohli_ and I covered its deal w/ Anthropic, how AI is leading to classroom tension, and how officials are under fire for paying an undergrad to promote a mental health chatbot in the student paper. bostonglobe.com/2026/02/25/bus…

Well it wasn’t delivered on paper (yet), but today’s Globe print edition is online: mobileapp.bostonglobe.com/full_page_imag…

@brianstelter Of course, much easier to justify when most readers are online. But you can’t discount the record snowfall, which was concentrated near the Globe’s printing plant in Taunton bostonglobe.com/2026/02/23/met…

Unprecedented but also... entirely logical in an era when digital is slowly replacing print anyway?
