For the Record

"Different Feelings":

Former Globe and Mail reporter Sunny Dhillon resigned from the newspaper when his editor overruled a story on the disproportionate racial composition of the Vancouver City Council. A subsequent Medium essay on his professional struggles went viral. "It’s clear this is a widespread issue," he said. "How many journalists of color need to share the same stories before we do something meaningful about it?"

"Hierarchies Of Attention":

Although Super Typhoon Yutu devastated the Northern Mariana Islands on October 25, "national coverage [...] was largely limited to republished stories from wire services," including the Associated Press and Reuters. "[The term] mainland doesn’t make you think of these seemingly faraway, disparate islands where some people live, and that lack of attention really has devastating impacts," said Tiara R. Na’puti, a Chamorro who is an assistant professor of communication at the University of Colorado Boulder.

"Free To Ask Questions":

Fox News will file an amicus brief in support of CNN's lawsuit against the White House. "Secret Service passes for working White House journalists should never be weaponized," network president Jay Wallace said in a statement.

"Small, but Smart":

Crowdfunded Dutch news site De Correspondent will launch an American edition in 2019. "We stay away from the news and say, 'Hey — the news you can find everywhere. We’re going to dig deep into structures that are just not in the news at all, that should be in the news but are not,'" said Rob Wijnberg, the Dutch edition's editor.

"Reality Check":

Although "32 state and local fact-checking projects were operational during the midterms in at least 22 states," the dearth of fact-checking by local news outlets has persisted. "I think we have a crisis in local journalism, and the lack of local fact-checking is part and parcel of that decline in local coverage," said Angie Holan, editor of PolitiFact. According to Duke Reporters' Lab Co-Director Bill Adair, "Politicians at the state and local level don’t need to worry very much about lying or exaggerating. It’s a lot easier to get away with lies if there are no fact-checkers in town."

"No Boring Headlines":

Newly installed Daily Beast Editor-in-Chief Noah Shachtman spoke of his plans for the news site: "We’re just gonna bite the hand off if you spoon-feed us. So we’re a dumb outlet to spoon-feed to. However, we’re an awesome outlet to leak to."

"A Diligent And Thorough Reporter":

CNN and Jim Acosta have filed a lawsuit against President Trump, several aides (including Chief of Staff John Kelly, Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Bill Shine and Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders), the Secret Service, Secret Service Director Randolph Alles and Secret Service agent "John Doe" for revoking Acosta's press credentials. The complaint calls for the "immediate restoration" of Acosta's press credentials and security pass.

"I Still Want To Be More Like Her":

Cleveland.com culture reporter Nikki Delamotte "was found shot to death in a suspected homicide Monday" alongside her uncle at his trailer in suburban Toledo. She was 30. "Her natural curiosity and her love of everything artistic was evident in everything she wrote," said Kris Wernowsky, the news site's crime editor.

"Journalism Wants To Be Paid For":

New York Media, the parent company of New York magazine, will implement a metered paywall on its sites (including NYMag.com, Grub Street and Vulture) after Thanksgiving. Subscriptions will cost $5 a month or $50 annually, while a $70 annual option will include a print subscription to New York magazine.

"The Vicious Attacks":

On CNN's Reliable Sources, retired ABC News anchor Sam Donaldson said that the network "may be gearing up for a legal battle over the Trump administration's revocation of chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta's permanent press credentials." "No decisions have been made," a CNN spokesperson said. "We have reached out to the White House and gotten no response."
