Weiss had recently arrived in Los Angeles from New York, a city she'd left behind in 2020 along with her job editing and writing for the New York Times' "Opinion" section. Although Weiss technically left of her own volition - blasting the paper for its "illiberal environment" in her publicly posted resignation letter - it felt as though she had been hounded out in the wake of the Tom Cotton op-ed fiasco, during which her boss, James Bennet, had been forced to step down amid a newsroom revolt.
The cable TV bundle is making a minor comeback - with an assist from YouTube TV. Next year, Google will 10 genre-specific skinny channel bundles that combine broadcast and cable channels into a single YouTube TV package, The Wall Street Journal reports. For example, YouTube TV's new skinny sports bundle provides access to FS1, NBC Sports Network and ESPN, plus broadcast channels. Other packages will focus on news and family.
Substack, for the uninitiated, is a subscription-driven online media platform that allows creators to publish, and monetise, a variety of content, including newsletters, podcasts and videos, directly to their audiences. In that same newsletter, Emily dives further into the IG-Substack comparison, saying " Substack's mission statement is "Building a new economic engine for culture"? Which means the point of Substack - unlike Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok - is to get you to monetize your content,
The psychotherapist, podcaster, and author is launching a newsletter called Entre Nous on Monday, at a moment when modern relationships can be defined by dating apps, ghosting, and even AI companions.

Most of the content on Perel's Substack is free. Subscribers who pay $9 a month, or $90 a year, get access to chat features, plus perks like ad-free podcast episodes and behind-the-scenes content.
In July, Sundberg published a newsletter headlined "1 in 3 Feed Me readers surveyed use a GLP-1." Despite being sponsored by a company that sells weight-loss medication, the post doesn't shy away sharing its negative perceptions. In one anonymous quote submission, a reader said, "It's kind of cheating, shouldn't we all work to get healthy, not thin?" Another said: "I am still embarrassed for other people if they get on them."
My last years at the paper weren't my most pleasant. My job went from being one I would say, earnestly, I would do for free, to one I struggled to justify doing for pay. The zombie thing that came to be published under my name had a dwindling trace of my breath in it. It was no longer fully my voice.
Substack's bet that writers want the platform to provide a community just as much as distribution appears to be paying off in 2025. Five newsletter creators who moved their operations over to Substack from other platforms such as Patreon and Beehiiv in the past year told Digiday that their following - and revenue - had grown since they made the jump, directly crediting Substack community tools such as co-livestreaming and recommendations for the subscriber boost.
"I quickly pulled up , published on February 9th, and then hers, published March 13th. The title was different, though it conveyed the same idea; however, the body was a near copy-paste job, with a few bits removed or changed and some words swapped out, I guess to make it seem 'different' enough. But it wasn't. My observations, metaphors, italicised emphasis (!), and the research I'd gathered stared back at me from her page."
