A lot of media-bashing from the new WeWork, which is a thing you do if you run a company but also sort of silly.

Other deets: FB is doing 3 year deals for its News tab, an implicit and explicit pledge that it won't pivot out of this one. Up to $3mm a year for big publishers (News Corp. may actually get more.) Vox Media, I think, is not in. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a big shift for Zuckerberg, who gave us a befuddled look when we asked about this idea spring of 2018. https://t.co/gh4CtlhSrc Now he has been out pitching it personally to media CEOs, and will share the stage with News Corp. tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

@gavinpurcell Best thing we can say is that we are very early in podcasts so we don't know how the biz will evolve, except that consumers will definitely be consuming on-demand audio. — PolitiTweet.org

Oh. Luminary also says it has raised another $30mm from "from existing and new investors" but doesn't say who the new ones are, which is a departure from standard practice. Asking... — PolitiTweet.org

Luminary, the subscription podcast service that seems to have minimal traction, has a new CEO: Simon Sutton, one of many HBO execs to leave that company in recent months. https://t.co/Kb5lWpXS5Z — PolitiTweet.org

@carloshasanax I'm sorry but you should find time for this (or at least wait until the season is done and inhale the thing in two days). Maybe it falls apart but first ep was special. — PolitiTweet.org
