- Guess who’s back at Breitbart?: I guess Steve Bannon didn’t take too much time working on his resume after getting the bum’s rush from the White House. He’s back at Breitbart. And this NYT story makes it clear that he’s already sharpening his sword — sorry, “pen” — and getting ready to battle his enemies. It should be interesting.
2.Two journalistic lessons from Charlottesville: Margaret Sullivan from the WaPo talks about how the events there “should put the nail in the coffin for ‘both sides’ journalism.” And some practical advice from Poynter on how journalists should handle racist words, images and violence.
3. The best reporting advice I ever received was…: Interesting, and a fun read. Lots of great journalists, including David Fahrenthold of the WaPo, share wise advice they were given early in their careers. The words still resonate with these reporters today, with good reason. Great stuff from CJR.
