Mexico City, May 8, 2026—El Salvador President Nayib Bukele’s administration must immediately unfreeze the bank accounts and property of El Faro’s shareholders and end its use of the country’s Ministry of Finance as a tool for harassment of the press, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Friday. Between February and April 2026, the Salvadoran government placed “preventative annotations” on a bank account and real estate property belonging to two partners of Trípode S.A. de C.V., the pare

There was a time, during a personal zenith of certitude and obnoxiousness that fits perfectly over my last years of college, when I was sure I knew what a real novel was, and what it was for. As I understood it from the books that I read and read reviews of, novels were about when you were a man in an unhappy marriage. Sometimes you were English and sometimes you were a college professor and sometimes you worked in The Business Industry, but that was about the size of things as far as I could te

Bogotá, May 8, 2026—Colombian authorities must thoroughly investigate the killing of journalist Mateo Pérez Rueda, determine if he was targeted for his work, and bring those responsible to justice, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Friday. Pérez was last seen at around 4 p.m. on May 5 near the town of Briceño in Antioquia department in northwest Colombia where he was detained at a roadblock by members of a guerrilla group that controls much of the zone, Natalia López of

The WNBA season begins tonight. Rather than preview each team, I've decided to look at some storylines I’ll be following through some of the league's best characters. This has nothing to do with the fact that I only came back from book leave on Thursday and didn't have a lot of time to write a preview. In fact, working on a book has merely pushed me to consider alternative narrative dimensions and explore new modes of storytelling, such as this. Napheesa Collier Looms Large

To watch the Detroit Pistons is to marvel at the highest level of team defense being played anywhere in the NBA. The mental strain they induce in opponents is remarkable, as offenses will cycle through primary, secondary, and tertiary options with increasing mania, unable to engineer anything open despite putting the Pistons deep in rotation. They fly around the perimeter, making dozens of cascading collective decisions despite scant time or space to communicate with each other. It's a sight to

Days before the second Clásico of the La Liga season, the Real Madrid locker room is reportedly falling apart. Courtesy of a running faucet of leaks that has been spraying since early on Thursday, it is clear that the club is suffering from some kind of internal civil war. The matter truly came to a head, so to speak, in the form of a physical confrontation between midfielders Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde, the result of which sent Valverde to the hospital to be treated for a head in

The week begins with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s position under threat following the local and devolved elections, with the loss of several councils and hundreds of seats in England and projected losses in Scotland and Wales meaning the pressure is likely to increase significantly over the coming days. The prime minister is thought to be considering a ‘reset’ speech on Monday to convince voters – and his own MPs – that he’s the man to lead the country thr

The book is available for purchase now.  With the Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School gymnastics team’s state win streak at five years old, Andrea Kinzer stood over her teammate Diana Moock, watching her as she sat on the ground calculating the scores from other teams across the meet. Diana, a numbers whiz with th

As multi-location brands demand clearer proof that digital media drives real-world business outcomes, attribution is moving beyond clicks and impressions toward store visits and sales impact. A new partnership between PadSquad and Cuebiq aims to give marketers a more granular, real-time view of how campaigns influence consumer behavior at the local level. For years, location-based advertising has promised marketers a cleaner line between digital impressions and real-world business outcomes. B

New York, May 8, 2026 – Tunisian authorities must immediately and unconditionally release journalist Zied el-Heni and stop prosecuting journalists under repressive laws for their reporting and commentary, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Friday after a Tunis court sentenced him to one year in prison. On May 7, authorities convicted El-Heni, founder of the independent news outlet Tunisian Press, of “harming others” under Article 86 of Tunisia’s Telecommunications Code after he critici

On April 11, 1999, Slavko Ćuruvija, the owner of Serbia’s first private daily newspaper, Dnevni Telegraf, was assassinated outside his home in the capital, Belgrade. After a decades-long pursuit of accountability, the case reached a turning point in February 2024 when the Belgrade Court of Appeal issued a final, non-appealable acquittal for four former Slobodan Milošević-era state security officers who were previously found guilty of the murder. Although the Serbian Supreme Court 

World Cup tickets are absurdly expensive and everyone is mad about it. Non-American fans seem to have been priced out of the tournament, judging by the lack of hotel reservations being made in host cities, and even FIFA Peace Prize recipient Donald Trump thinks things have gotten out of hand. "I wouldn’t pay it either, to be honest with you," Trump told the New York Post when alerted to the fact that tickets to the USMNT's opening game are selling for upwards of $1,000. FIFA is to blame for thi

The days of agentic ad tech being only for direct ad buys are coming to an end.

Gaza is the compass. These words—emblazoned on large banners at the 2025 People's Conference For Palestine in Detroit, and frequently invoked by comrades in the Palestinian Youth Movement at speeches and rallies—contain a truth with which so much of the world has yet to reckon, though it will sweep them along regardless.  In other words, Gaza is the place—and the event—in reference to which we must orient our actions, our thoughts, our lives. It is the most important place in the world right no

The upfront is no longer just a shop window for content Amazon owns, it’s now one for its ad tech too.  That’s a shift from how this period usually works. The tech pitch used to come after the content deal was done — a separate conversation, often with different people. Not anymore.  “There’s this big shift from these content-first decisions into more of this integrated approach, where you have premium content, deterministic signals and AI-driven technology all
