Ron, your article is a sharp and thoughtful take on the shifting landscape of journalism. I especially appreciate how you acknowledge the imperfections of the "old guard" while highlighting the promise and pitfalls of new platforms like Substack. Your insider perspective adds depth, and your call for intellectual openness is spot-on. Well done!

What an absolute delight Nicole Winfield's lookback is! Thanks for the weekend-starting gift of reading about her "nothing-to-lose chutzpah" that seems to have nudged rescheduling of a papal trip.

"La prima della classe," indeed. And she has spent 33 years at the wire, including two dozen at the Vatican -- another legend with anecdotes as vivid as yours.

The night Obama roasted Trump wasn’t just funny — it broke America. It lit the fuse for Trump’s rise, poisoned our politics, and shattered the old order. We laughed — and didn’t see the crack beneath our feet. Here's the night that changed everything.

Would love to heard your thoughts on the piece.
