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.

A mass shooting at Bondi Beach during a Hanukkah event created major challenges for journalists trying to confirm fast-moving details. Newsrooms had to decide how to describe the attack, when to name suspects and how to treat unverified online posts. Jacqueline Maley, senior writer at the Sydney Morning Herald, explains the decisions behind early reporting and the influence of social media. The UK government has begun a consultation on BBC charter renewal, which will shape the organisation from 2028. It raises questions about how the BBC is governed, how it supports producers across the UK and how it might be funded in the future. Options include subscription models, advertising and changes to licence fee income. Alex Farber, media correspondent at The Times, outlines what is being considered. In Florida, Donald Trump has filed a defamation case against the BBC over an edited sequence in the Panorama documentary which triggered the resignation of the corporation's Director General and its CEO of News. Stuart M Benjamin, professor of law at Duke University, sets out the legal issues. Short, vertical micro dramas are becoming a major part of China's entertainment industry, with revenues expected to exceed cinema box office figures. The format is spreading to other regions through low-cost, rapid production and app-based viewing. Mengchen Zhang from the BBC's Global China Unit describes the trend in China, while Clare Thompson, non-executive director at K7 Media, outlines its international growth.Presenters: Ros Atkins Producer: Lisa Jenkinson Content Producer: Lucy Wai Production Coordinator: Ruth Waites

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

Send us a textStart with a newsroom built from scratch in Belize. Add decades across TV, digital, teaching and public media. Now meet the throughline: a fierce commitment to service, collaboration and stories that help people live better where they are. Managing editor Holly Edgell of NPR's Midwest Newsroom joins us to talk about leading a dispersed regional team covering Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska—and why the “slow cooker” approach to reporting still wins trust.We dive into the craft behind collaborative journalism: coaching local station reporters on deeper stories, co-publishing across platforms and turning embargoed research into reporting that tests assumptions and centers real people. Holly shares standout coverage on housing—affordability, safety, climate resilience and insurance gaps—along with explainers on rural access and labor that move beyond headlines to accountability. She also pulls back the curtain on her day-to-day: Zooms across four states, careful editing pipelines and the art of translating regional reporting into digital, radio and social formats that reach audiences where they actually are.The conversation also tackles the hard part: funding instability, audience fragmentation and how public media can adapt without losing its soul. Holly makes a compelling case for understanding who's listening and reading, not just what's produced; for convening civil, community-based conversations across widening cultural divides; and for building partnerships that amplify impact. For PR pros, she offers a playbook on pitches that land—specific, data-driven, aligned with coverage—and the red flags that guarantee a pass.We close with what keeps her grounded: puzzles, travel, creative writing and narrative podcasts like Criminal that prove spare, human storytelling still cuts through the noise. If you care about local news that serves, regional reporting that collaborates and journalism that earns trust, you'll want to listen. Subscribe, share this episode with a friend who loves public radio, and leave a review to help more listeners find thoughtful conversations like this one.Enjoy the conversation?

As the year rounds to a close, Anthony Albanese has been on a victory lap, while the Coalition continues to pick up the pieces after a bruising election defeat.
