New: WP Ventures, the “third newsroom,” is changing — some of it will now report to biz side leader Suzi Watford, while the editorially related stuff will stay in the newsroom. “The next iteration of WP Ventures will be developed apart from The Post newsroom.”

FLF kicked a reporter out of a press conference for being critical 😬
Then fans protested, signs got taken, and a woman got hurt.
FLF’s response? “Oops, our bad 🤷♂️”

But it’s better than OpenAI and Anthropic who send 40x and 1000x fewer users per page crawled than Google.
