Good Morning DC,
The Messenger is shutting down after less than a year.
Word on the street is, to run a news organization, you’ve gotta have more than just deep pockets. It takes strategy, know-how, and a whole lot of grit to build news company from the ground up. Anyone can burn millions of dollars, but not everyone can make it rain with sustainable journalism.
Meanwhile, over at The Pavlovic Today, it’s all about that steady climb. With a focus on efficiency and productivity, looks like we’ve cracked the code to lasting success in this cutthroat industry.
Let’s get you caught up with the news of the day.
