CEO resigns

The Washington Post’s CEO has announced he is quitting the job, days after the newspaper slashed a third of its staff.

CEO and publisher Will Lewis shared the decision in a message to employees on Saturday, which was later posted on X by the paper’s White House bureau chief.

As if this will do any good

"We are The Washington Post's international correspondents, writing with a collective plea for you to preserve our newspaper's global coverage, which we fear will be greatly weakened in coming cuts," one such appeal read. "Our coverage — thanks to your investment — shapes conversation and global policy at the highest levels each day."

It's accelerating: Media Industry Faces 2026 Turmoil with Layoffs and AI

https://www.webpronews.com/medias-2026-reckoning-layoffs-surge-mergers-stall-ai-reshapes-newsrooms/

Media companies started 2026 with deep staff cuts. Over 17,000 jobs vanished in 2025, an 18% increase. Mergers stalled, and AI continued to reshape newsrooms. Digital ad revenue faltered, intensifying pressure on publishers. Audiences now hold significant sway over the industry's future.

About 10K laid off and not a peep in the biz news

What is up with the news? About 10K jobs have been eliminated this month (January) and not a single news article, posting, etc. anywhere... where are the biz reporters?

How can anyone trust the news and media when a story like this doesn't even make the LinkedIn news feed?

Inquiring minds want to know.


VAB report isn't good for the future of Nielsen

Ratings across 158 TV networks are down this year by an average of 18% to 30% under Nielsen’s new Big Data + Panel measurement, the Video Advertising Bureau (VAB) told The Current.

The declines in the highly prized 25 to 54 demographic — now at levels not seen in 23 years when compared with panel-only measurement — break down three ways: an 18% drop overall, a 23% decline for cable networks and 30% plunge when news and sports programming are excluded.

VAB President Sean Cunningham said the organization began uncovering these issues in late October after digging into the data. He added that Big Data + Panel shows unusually high variance, overreporting or underreporting ratings by roughly 20%. Some networks, he said, are experiencing statistical aberrations across as much as 60% of all viewing hours.

This misreporting — especially for the valuable 25 to 54 demo — has major implications for both buy and sell sides. Incomplete, unstable measurement suppresses CPMs for publishers, draining ad revenue for the already shrinking traditional TV ecosystem. On the buy side, agencies struggle to plan, forecast or trust audience guarantees.

“There is an enormous structural defect sitting in the trading currency where the 25 to 54 demographic has been systemically crushed by all of the biases inside of the way Nielsen’s calculating Big Data + Panel,” Cunningham told The Current.

When asked to comment, Nielsen responded: “This report is seriously flawed and manipulated. From what we have seen, the VAB incorrectly pulled our data and the bureau does not know how to do a proper ratings analysis. The VAB is wasting the time and money of its members."

A source close to one of the TV networks contacted by The Current added: "We went into Nielsen Big Data + Panel knowing that there could be challenges, which is why we’ve evaluated it closely from the start. As we’ve continued working with the data, and after reviewing the VAB report, we’re seeing additional discrepancies that deserve a closer look."

Cunningham said the VAB stepped in only after publishers exhausted all options trying to work with Nielsen, efforts that led to frustration over what he described as “layer upon layer of voodoo math” embedded in Nielsen’s methodology.

He believes Nielsen is weighing its 43,000-person panel too heavily, allowing it to dominate signals compared to its 45 million big data sources. He argues this leads to an oversaturation of viewers aged 55 and over in the reported ratings.


Advancing the transition to a media and content delivery company

CEO News

She was challenged several weeks ago on this board to go on CNBC to be interviewed and by golly, she did ! Albeit a soft ball interview with Sharon Epperson for DEI reasons.

Let's be honest here, if she interviewed with Jim Cramer, David Faber, or Sara Eisen, she'd be eaten alive trying to defend her missteps. It is ironic that even Roger Ferguson has appeared on CNBC as a contributor more times in the last year, then Duckett has appeared on CNBC in 5 yrs.

There are rumors and whispers she is losing internal support. All of a sudden, we see a flurry of activity from her lately in an attempt to save face and her job. So many speeches and public appearances that she has no real time to run TIAA like she is supposed to and this begs the question; who is really running TIAA ? She is paid millions and the company is chaos and no one is at the helm. She collects hundreds of thousands of dollars as a Nike Board Member & a pair of Air Jordans.

Instead, they have Jay Leno headline the TIAA FutureWise conference with the CEO laughing herself all the way to the Bank while many long term TIAA employees are being laid off. Shoot, maybe is she ran AI to run the company, it would be in much better financial shape today. It's funny how she criticized AI, but sold out to Accenture as they promised us the world with AI driven solutions which have not materialized.

Qualcomm’s longest-serving employee

A heart warming article on WSJ about the longest serving employee of QC..

De... ..nch at Qualcomm
Principal engineer/manager
Age: 61
Date hired: 1987

Early days: Qualcomm’s longest-serving employee moved to San Diego after college, looking for warm weather. He saw a classified ad in the San Diego Union-Tribune in 1987 and applied for a role as a technician. He was 22. “I had no idea what the company was,” he said. Qualcomm would go on to power the technology used inside millions of cellphones and other devices, with Punch working on many of the company’s key projects.


Chris McCarthy Moving to 101 Studios/NBCU

Chris McCarthy being “let go” as co-CEO back in August was probably the first sensible decision Paramount’s made in years. The man’s entire career has been one long masterclass in failing upward. Now he’s probably slinking over to 101 Studios or NBCU to “collaborate” with Taylor Sheridan, who’s already planning his big exit from Paramount in 2028. It’s the perfect Hollywood farce. One guy can’t keep a job without wrecking it, the other’s counting down the days till he can cash out and ride off on a horse named Ego. You decide which is which. Chris somehow walks away with a multi-million dollar payout for achieving absolutely nothing, proving once again that in this town, being useless isn’t a flaw,it’s a business model. That's right, Amy, Liza, Laurel, Nina, and co.


I'm curious if "Project M" was leaked by employees or if DELL leaked it themselves

BI - Business Insider has an entire story about this NDA thing and much of it is accurate however, I can't help but wonder if it was EMPLOYEES who leaked all this or if Dell did it to try and gain interest or something...

Kind of how Apple leaks product info/details about new products.

Dell isn't "selling" a new product here but what they are doing is moving towards a new platform and it's possible by Dell leaking this, it'd make customers/future customers think "hey, I like what they are doing! Let's think about Dell instead of HP!"

To merge or not to merge?

Is the merge happening? Media has been pretty quiet about it. the most recent report was a clean team meeting was scheduled and it went well. Hope all goes well if the merge does happen but what's going to happen in certain markets. If pfg and usfood both delivering in the same area.who's going to take over those markets when you have delivery drivers and sales reps for both sides. I guess only time will tell if it's even going to happen or not happen.this is slow seasons but usfoods jist hired 10 drivers in my area.while we still have stand days going on. Doesn't make sense
