    Newsonomics: At the new L.A. Times, Norm Pearlstine is doing a little California dreaming
    “With a traditional media company, you can have well-defined lines as long as you’re doing the same thing every day. But when you’re trying to reinvent yourself, if you don’t have an ease of communication with IT and with your business counterparts, it doesn’t work.”

    Newsonomics: Patrick Soon-Shiong on the L.A. Times’ transmedia future, french-fry tweets, and modernizing the “newspaper” business
    The billionaire owner on unions (“I think they did the unionize thing out of desperation”), esports (“We must start fighting for the 16-year-olds all the way to the 30-year-olds, because that’s not our demographic”), and hiring the intern.

    The Correspondent’s editor-in-chief talks about what U.S. expansion means (and doesn’t — an office)
    “Keep in mind that, especially in a campaign like this, tons of people talk about what we’re trying to do. So the idea that you can keep all these people on message all the time would be kind of totalitarian, right?”

    Newsonomics: Inside the new L.A. Times, a 100-year vision that bets on tech and top-notch journalism
    It’s a few years behind its East Coast brethren in New York and Washington. But tens of millions in new investment and ambitious digital plans are showing a path back to its former prominence — and beyond.

    Circa, Sinclair’s millennial-focused news site (and the final remains of some interesting mobile ideas), is shutting down
    From an innovative startup to a Sean Hannity segment supplier to a generic millennial news site, Circa seems to have finally run out of lives.

    Slow down, read up: Why slow journalism and finishable news is (quickly) growing a following
    “You can’t finish a news feed, but you can finish Zetland, and that is just very nice, you know: ‘OK, that was the lesson for today, now I’m off out in the sun, talking to a friend.'”
