Comey Firing Provides Bright Dividing Line for Media Coverage
FBI Director Comey’s firing was a clear indicator of how America’s political divide is present in news media. According to The New York Times, traditionally right-leaning media condoned the firing, while those more left-leaning condemned it. Pew Research Center data shows that the divide among the two major political parties is the largest it has been in the past 30 years, with 89% of Democrats believing the news media to be a government watchdog and only 42% of Republicans believing the same.

How Women Are Changing the Podcast Game
As podcasts grow in popularity, it’s interesting to see how hosts become more and more diverse. Forbes reports that in 2013, men dominated as hosts of podcasts. But, more diverse listeners and creators are creating opportunities for more female hosts. Women now host two of the top three most popular podcasts on iTunes, and more podcasts are being created to cater to women and minority audiences.
