Hi! Some news: I’ve joined @adweek as a TV news reporter where I’ll be covering what’s happening in the TV, streaming space, and more. Pitch me at: [email protected]
BREAKING: @lindayaX is stepping down as CEO of @X one day after @grok spewed antisemitic content across the platform. Story for @ADWEEK: adweek.com/media/linda-ya…
For @Adweek, I spoke with Nielsen, VideoAmp, and several sources over the last few months to make sense of the messy drama in the TV measurement and currency world as this year’s upfront season comes to a close. adweek.com/convergent-tv/…
Peep the @MarkStenberg3 / @Adweek shoutout in NYT today 👀
Source: Fox has officially closed its upfront discussions, reaching $2B for core sports properties, excluding the World Cup, for the first time (@saleyley / Adweek) adweek.com/convergent-tv/… mediagazer.com/250721/p11#a25…
New: I teamed up with @elenalingshao and @nytgraphics to map more than 100 public TV and radio stations that are at risk of closing as a result of tonight's vote: nytimes.com/interactive/20… This is a time bomb that will go off in the fall, when the last federal grants run out.
That’s it. Congress has officially killed federal funding of PBS, NPR and local stations across the U.S. after decades of thwarted attempts.
BREAKING: $9 billion rescission package gets final passage in the House 216-213. This was close. Did not vote: Three members - 2 Rs, 1 D No votes: 2 Rs.
Julie DeTraglia, vp, ads measurement strategy, is out at @netflix. @Adweek has learned that DeTraglia has exited Netflix after nearly three years. DeTraglia joined the company in 2022 ahead of Netflix’s ad tier launch. adweek.com/convergent-tv/…
NEW for @ADWEEK: After bidding adieu to @lindayaX, the one-time leader of @X, Musk may not be seeking a CEO-type to fill her shoes as X's business model is undergoes a substantive transformation. Reporting by @Lucy28Southern, @trishlaostwal, and me: adweek.com/media/xs-futur…

Elon Musk is steering X away from ad revenue and toward subscriptions and AI. With Linda Yaccarino’s sudden exit, brands are once again pulling back spend. The question now: Does X have a future as an ad business—or has that chapter closed? Link ⤵️
