I'm delighted Oliver Darcy's Status is expanding. We need it. It's the best media coverage we have--e.g., its coverage of the BariWeissification of the miniMurdochs' CBS far outshines Puck's & Semafor's credulous kid gloves.

The Scoop About Status

Status is entering its next chapter—expanding to seven days a week, hiring new correspondents, and growing into a fully staffed independent newsroom that holds the powerful accountable.

Puck on Weiss: "In any event, the anxiety around Bari’s circuitous ascent to the top of legacy media may be overwrought....(Also, not to be an ass, but those who do see Bari’s arrival as a catalyst for resignation probably won’t be missed.)"

Semafor on Weiss: "But as television news viewership continues to evaporate, perhaps the new Paramount regime will be a bit ahead of the curve."

Can Bari Weiss remake one of the oldest US news channels?

The new owners of Paramount appear to think The Free Press founder can do it.
