    “News unfolds like a saga”: The French news site Les Jours wants to marry narrative, depth, and investigative reporting
    “Serial” isn’t just a podcast: It’s also the format hook Les Jours uses to bring some of the lessons of drama to long-form investigative reporting. It’s a fascinating mish-mash of ideas you’ll recognize from short-run nonfiction audio, Quartz, Epic Magazine, and more.

    Meet TikTok: How The Washington Post, NBC News, and The Dallas Morning News are using the of-the-moment platform
    “When I was a beat reporter, I used to look at national news and say: How can I localize this? I feel like this is the other way around: What’s going on in our community that people can relate to across all platforms?”

    Audiobooks are no longer exempt from the broader shifts in the podcast world
    Plus: Spotify wants into news podcasting, a collective tries to boost the medium in Ireland, and a “slightly absurd, aurally adventuresome, quasi-journalistic podcast about food.”

    Why do some people avoid news? Because they don’t trust us — or because they don’t think we add value to their lives?
    What if distrust is a smaller problem than the way news consumption leaves readers stressed, anxious, depressed, afraid, disempowered, and exhausted?

    News outlets will need public support to battle governments set on chilling investigative journalism
    Recent police raids against journalists in Australia and the United States seek to instill fear in the minds of journalists and their sources — less to punish the last story than to discourage the next one.

    As the Christchurch massacre trial begins, New Zealand news orgs vow to keep white supremacist ideology out of their coverage
    “We’re going to do our job — we won’t chill our coverage in any way — but we’re not going to spread hate or misinformation.”

    Populists prefer television to online news — but are sticking to Facebook as others leave
    “In the U.S., though there are some outlets with populist audiences — such as Fox and HuffPost — it is clear that the majority of outlets have audiences that are predominately non-populist left, such as The New York Times.”

    Investigative Network aims to bring more documentary video to local TV (but it’ll need funding first)
    “What I’ve seen with most nonprofits is they’re driven by former print people who have transitioned to digital. I can’t tell you how many times I see a digital story and think it would have been a good 10-minute, 15-minute, hour-long documentary piece.”
