Good morning from New York (slightly less smoggy today) and welcome to our weekly look at the dominant #mediarevenue stories.
There have been remarkable developments at CNN and some of the, unfortunately usual, stories about cuts and news and media companies, but there have also been some very interesting stories about the funding of local news.
Want to buy The Telegraph? Or Complex?
I spent a lovely few days at the FIPP - Connecting Global Media conference in Portugal this week and connected with some old, and new, friends there to discuss the future of news and the role that media technology plays in that future.
If you see articles about?#MediaRevenue,?or the impact of local journalism, that you think I should look at, please let me know so I can include them in this roundup.
Here is this week's curated selection of?#MediaRevenue?news:
