takes a special kind of media company to lose Wesley Morris AND Trent Dilfer xitter.cf/bryancurtis/status/167…

Add to JVG, McShay, and everybody else who got laid off by ESPN today to this list. Find me a media company that lost this much talent in a decade.

Happy US pub day to @mrkocnnll, whose fascinating, funny book A THREAD OF VIOLENCE is both a true crime investigation and an unraveling of the entire idea of true crime as a genre. Read it! Here's his NYT rave nytimes.com/2023/06/27/books…

A Literary Take on a Notorious Crime Finds More Doubt Than Truth (Published 2023)

In “A Thread of Violence,” Mark O’Connell investigates an infamous Irish murder case that eludes explanation, refusing to cohere into a single narrative.

Boy did I love writing this piece. Thanks @nyu_ajo! xitter.cf/nyu_ajo/status/1673700…

Replying to @nyu_ajo
The award for Best Media Criticism goes to @dankois for “My PR Day of Yes” in @slate. Judge @ParkerMolloy called the piece “an engaging, well-written piece of service journalism, offering readers a glimpse into the media's inner workings.” slate.com/human-interest/202… 17/

I Said “Yes” to Every PR Email for an Entire Day. If Only I Knew What I’d Done.

Maybe the publicists are on to something.
