This week, Brooke sits down with Shani Hilton of the LA Times (and formerly of BuzzFeed News) for PCMoT's 50th episode! Shani and Brooke talk about online media, from its early promise, to its eventual breakdown, and of course get deep into the biggest media world news, the firings of Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon. They also discuss the (millionth) Twitter debacle and the absolutely addictive nature of TikTok. Brooke and Shani end on some highlights from the newsletter this week, like the “It-Girl” transformation of Sofia Richie. It's a fun one!

We're so lucky to have Who Dat? back again again — in case you forgot, that's our special series on Black Whos (and sometimes Thems, let's be real), featuring Aminatou Sow and Shani Hilton. We're talking Iggy Azalea and Playboi Carti (who allegedly HAD A BABY), the iconic Rashida Jones (plus Black AF & her co-star, Kenya Barris), Tia/Tamara (and Tahj) Mowry, Amandla Stenberg, #VERZUZ, Tiffany Haddish's dictator BFF, Westworld (but mostly Thandie Newton and Tessa Thompson), Yvonne Orji and our collective fav: Kid Cudi aka Scott Mescudi #JusticeforHowtoMakeitinAmerica #RastaMonsta Subscribe to the Los Angeles Times, preorder Big Friendship from your local bookstore and follow both Amina and Shani on Twitter. Then leave us a message at 619-WHO-THEM and we'll see you back here on Friday!
The wait is OVER: 'Who Dat?' is back. Our pals and Black Who experts Shani Hilton and Aminatou Sow join us in Manhattan for a catch-up on all things Who. Sure, we spend a lot of time on Meghan Markle (We gotta!), but we're also talking Safaree (and his ex, the new Mrs. Petty), Lizzo, Ray J, Tinashe, Lori Harvey and... everyone in between. Join us!
June 23, 2019: Sam Vinograd, Shani Hilton, Ana Kasparian, Ron Brownstein, David Dreier, Shawn Speagle, Casey Newton, and Michael Collins join Brian Stelter.
Aminatou Sow and Shani Hilton are BACK and we have so much to catch up on. For example, why is everyone turning on Jameela Jamil? (I thought we liked her? Is airbrushing illegal now?) And who is Nazanin Mandi, Miguel's new wife? And our very own Royal Correspondent (who happens to be Shani) answers the tabloid's #1 question of the month: Are Kate and Meghan really feuding? Is this all a stunt? Are we as infatuated with Nick Jonas and Priyanka "Quantico" Chopra as the rest of the world seems to be? Plus, Toni Braxton on Jada Pinkett Smith's 'Red Table Talk' and...more Halsey—so many of the same topics we can't stop talking about that we...completely forget to introduce new Whos. Oh well! You'll love it anyway. Special thanks to BuzzFeed and Camila Salazar for production help. For more Who? Weekly content, subscribe to our Patreon. There's a weekly newsletter, extra episodes, and so much more. You know you want to. We're also going on tour! Buy tickets here.

The American newsroom is quickly evolving, changing the way people get information on the major events and issues in world around them. Gone are the days when viewers had to huddle in front of the TV to watch the evening broadcast. With the sophistication of disrupters like BuzzFeed, Gawker and VICE, and the coming of age of millennials, today’s news is often provided via high-velocity headlines on easy to use online platforms. But how do these modern news media players impact journalism as a whole? Are these popular news sites overly sensationalist, or simply making journalism more accessible to the masses? Do they have an agenda? Can they match traditional news outlets in depth, substance, and accuracy? And, does the mixing of hard news with lighter fare dilute their product or strengthen it? Rocco Castoro, Editor in Chief of VICE; Max Read, Editor in Chief of Gawker; and Shani Hilton, Executive Editor for News for BuzzFeed joined the Institute of Politics to discuss media in the 21st Century. These pioneers of modern journalism reflected on the nature of their work, how they view their roles as disrupters, and what’s next for journalism. The conversation was moderated by Tom Rosenstiel, Exective Director, American Press Institute. This is event was co-sponsored by the International House Global Voices Program.
