Chris Cillizza is asked often about his political takes — that's not what this show is about. Instead, we're talking independent journalism.Newsrooms are smaller. Trust is harder to earn. The incentives are louder, quicker, and more punishing than ever. And for many of the most recognizable voices in political media, the next chapter isn't another beat — it's independence.On this episode of The Friday Reporter, I sit with political analyst and longtime political journalist Chris Cillizza for a candid conversation about what it really means to build a career in media outside the machine — and why independent journalism isn't just a trend, it's becoming a necessity.Cillizza shares how the economics of the modern newsroom shape what gets covered (and what gets ignored), why “high traffic” doesn't always equal “high value,” and what audiences even get into the corrosive nature of the words “fake media.”This conversation isn't about the hottest take of the day. It's about the infrastructure of political coverage — what's working, what's broken, and what comes next.In this episode, we discuss:* The incentives driving political coverage in 2026 — and what they reward* The difference between high-traffic stories and high-value journalism* The shift from newsroom journalist to independent voice — and what it costsFor communications leaders, this is the takeaway:If you want to earn attention and trust today, you have to understand the environment journalists are operating in — and how independence is reshaping the business, the tone, and the future of political media.

My guest is Robyn Curnow, a native South African who spent over two decades at CNN, where she hosted CNN's Newsroom, and anchored The International Desk with Robyn Curnow. Prior to that, she served as the network's Africa correspondent out of Johannesburg and covered Europe out of CNN's London Bureau. If you don't recognize her name, I bet you'll recognize her distinctive voice because you likely saw her interviews with some of the most prominent people of our lifetimes, including Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Robyn has covered news stories as diverse and dynamic as Africa's HIV/AIDS epidemic, the rise of Boko Haram, the 2010 World Cup, and the murder of Jammal Khashoggi. This work earned her and her colleagues multiple Emmy nominations, the Royal Television Society Award, and the duPont-Columbia Award. On her new podcast, Searching for America—which I love—Robyn explores our society and culture through the eyes of a new-comer. Like a modern-day de Tocqueville, she offers a sincerely interested outsider's perspective on the quirks of American life, including the Halloween Industrial complex, the obsession with high school graduation and college acceptance, turducken, and—most importantly—our collective love of Dolly Parton. She lives in Atlanta where she and I serve on a school board together.

Two of The Express News Group's most enduring newsroom fixtures decided that 2025 would be the year they finally stepped away from journalism. At the end of December, photo editor Dana Shaw and reporter Stephen J. Kotz officially filed their last stories. For more than three decades, Shaw was a constant presence at the region's most important moments — from protests and public meetings to wildfires and parades. And for over 30 years on the East End, Kotz — who also had stints as a news editor — chronicled the villages, towns, people and personalities of the South Fork with relentless curiosity and determination. This week, the editors sit down with Shaw and Kotz for a candid “exit interview,” filled with unforgettable anecdotes, hard-earned wisdom, and reflections on a lifetime spent chasing the story.

The Trump administration is defending a dramatic U.S. operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and brought them to the United States to face criminal charges tied to narcotics trafficking and corruption. Officials say the mission was carried out as a law-enforcement action with military support, while critics raise questions about congressional notification and the long-term impact on Venezuela's governance and regional stability. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford (R-AR), joins the Rundown to detail the legal authority behind the operation, the decision not to notify Congress in advance, and the administration's broader strategy for securing the Western Hemisphere. 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year as America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary. President Trump is promising the 'most spectacular birthday party the world has ever seen' on July 4th—the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. America's Newsroom co-anchor Bill Hemmer joins the Rundown to discuss the importance of celebrating the nation's history, the founding principles that continue to shape America, and his role in the new FOX News Audio podcast, The 250 Most Impactful Moments in American History.

Today we're bringing you an episode of Uncuffed from 2024 that really resonated with our Newsroom staff. It's about a lesser known, but important aspect of life in prison: grieving.

Corn, extreme heat and the military, and skiing are all subjects featured on Floodlight, an independent, nonpartisan newsroom that investigates the corporations and political interests stalling climate action. On today's show, host Douglas Haynes speaks with Dee J. Hall, an award-winning Wisconsin journalist and Editor in Chief of Floodlight. Hall says that her work at Floodlight strives to be “locally relevant and nationally resonant.” They talk about Floodlight’s mission, impact, and recent notable stories, including the essay, “Corn's clean-energy promise is clashing with its climate footprint.” Currently 40% of corn grown in the US goes to producing ethanol for fuel. But researchers are finding that the continuous growth of corn for fuel has caused an explosion of nitrous oxide emissions in the upper Midwest that comes from the continuous application of nitrogen fertilizer. Hall says “we've traded one issue (carbon) for another (nitrogen).”  Another Floodlight story on climate change's impact on winter activities. 2025 was the third hottest year on record and the effect is being felt in people's daily lives, including during ski season. In the next 25 years, projections suggest that ski seasons could shrink by another 3 months.  Hall also speaks to the state of climate journalism today and the challenges of doing climate journalism during the second Trump administration. She says the administration often doesn't respond to requests for comment, or when they do, their responses are disrespectful. They also discuss the importance of “official” perspectives, the distinction between “objectivity” and “fairness,” and how the rise of non-profit newsrooms is changing the face of journalism.  Dee J. Hall is the Editor-in-Chief of Floodlight. Before joining Floodlight, Dee was the managing editor of Wisconsin Watch, a nonprofit investigative news outlet based in Madison and Milwaukee that she co-founded with her husband, Andy. In her more than 40 years in journalism, Dee has won more than three dozen state, regional and national awards for her reporting. During her eight years as Wisconsin Watch’s managing editor, Dee edited and reported more than 70 award-winning projects. Dee previously reported for the Wisconsin State Journal and the Arizona Republic. Featured image of the Granite Peak Ski area in Wisconsin via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 2.0).

The Philadelphia Inquirer never had an AI engineer on staff until the Lenfest AI Collaborative & Fellowship program changed that.The collaborative is a $5 million partnership between the Lenfest Institute, OpenAI, and Microsoft that placed 10 AI fellows in American newsrooms for two years. These engineers work within the organizations, building tools that solve real newsroom problems.This week on Newsroom Robots, host Nikita Roy sits down with Jim Friedlich, CEO and Executive Director of the Lenfest Institute, David Chivers, lead advisor to the Lenfest AI Collaborative and Matt Boggie, CTO of The Philadelphia Inquirer, to walk through how the program works and what the Inquirer has built as a result.The Inquirer came to the collaborative with an idea to build a full-archive search tool that would let reporters query decades of journalism. They expected it to take 24 months. Within two weeks of a Microsoft hackathon, they had working code. The tool, now called Dewey, searches everything the Inquirer has published since 1978.This episode covers:03:02 — How the Lenfest AI Collaborative got started05:34 — Can newsrooms trust big tech partners?08:33 — How the fellowship works day to day14:52– Inside the Microsoft hackathon that built Dewey in two weeks21:37 — Training journalists to understand LLM limitations24:07 — How AI literacy has changed newsroom culture29:45 – How small newsrooms can get started with AI35:14 — AI answers, search decline, and the future of audience traffic38:15 — Rethinking journalism's role in an AI-mediated world41:23 — Closing reflections and personal AI useThis episode of Newsroom Robots is supported by the Lenfest Institute for Journalism.

This week on Newsroom Robots, host Nikita Roy is joined by Tav Klitgaard, the CEO of the Danish newsroom Zetland, to unpack the origin story of GoodTape — an AI transcription tool that began as an internal newsroom solution and evolved into a profitable, global product used far beyond journalism.Zetland is an audio-first newsroom in Denmark. But GoodTape wasn't born from an AI strategy or a product roadmap. It emerged from a familiar newsroom pain point of journalists spending hours transcribing interviews, with existing tools falling short, especially in non-English languages like Danish.In this conversation, Tav breaks down how GoodTape went from an internal experiment to a standalone, subscription-based product that quickly became profitable, generated millions in revenue and was eventually divested. He also shares what building GoodTape taught Zetland about AI adoption, organizational learning, and where newsrooms should, and shouldn't, use generative AI.This episode covers:05:50 – How a prototype using OpenAI's Whisper sparked GoodTape08:36 – The moment Zetland realized GoodTape could be a real product12:34 – How journalism's trust and privacy standards became a product advantage13:59 – What actually improves transcription quality beyond the model itself15:27 – How GoodTape became profitable and contributed to Zetland's revenue16:29 – Why Zetland eventually divested GoodTape instead of scaling it internally17:36 – What building an AI product taught Zetland about newsroom AI adoption19:08 – Why Zetland uses AI for productivity, not editorial output28:14 – A real-world example of AI use that forced Zetland to rethink its own guidelines30:34 – Why principles matter more than rigid AI rules in newsrooms

Andrew Ross Sorkin (1929: The Inside Story of the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History) is a financial columnist, TV anchor, and author. Andrew joins the Armchair Expert to discuss a kid telling him when he was young that god drew him wrong, actually working with Aaron Sorkin (no relation) on his show The Newsroom, and landing an unofficial internship at The New York Times as a senior in high school. Andrew and Dax talk about why his motto as a finance journalist was ‘chasing interesting,' understanding not trusting the stock trading system because it doesn't deserve to be trusted, and his tips for getting ChatGPT to tell the truth with verifiable facts. Andrew explains writing an exposé on going into debt to buy stocks, shocking and unexpected stories of fallout from the stock market crash of 1929, and parallels he sees in current financial trends accompanied by an argument for transparency.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
