Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau flies to Florida to meet with Trump after tariffs threat WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has flown to Florida to have dinner with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club after Trump threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products. Joining Trump and Trudeau at dinner were Trump's picks for commerce secretary, interior secretary and national security adviser, and the three men's wives. From the Canadian side, the dinner guests included Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, whose responsibilities include border security. Trump’s transition did not respond to questions about what they had discussed or whether the conversation alleviated Trump’s concerns about the border. A smiling Trudeau declined comment upon returning to his West Palm Beach hotel late Friday. Emboldened 'manosphere' accelerates threats and demeaning language toward women after US election CHICAGO (AP) — An emboldened fringe of right-wing “manosphere” influencers has seized on Donald Trump’s presidential win to justify and amplify misogynistic derision and threats online. Many have appropriated a 1960s abortion rights rallying cry, declaring “Your body, my choice,” and have been using it publicly on college campuses and even in public schools. While none of the current online rhetoric is being amplified by Trump, experts say many young men see the former president’s return to the White House as vindication of their views on women. For many women, the words represent a worrying harbinger of what might lie ahead as some men perceive the election results as a rebuke of reproductive rights and women’s rights. Syrian insurgents are inside Aleppo in a major setback for Assad as government forces regroup BEIRUT (AP) — Thousands of Syrian insurgents have fanned out inside Syria's largest city Aleppo a day after storming it with little resistance from government troops. Syria's army said troops have redeployed to prepare for a counteroffensive. Witnesses said insurgents were seen Saturday at landmarks in Aleppo for the first time since 2016, when they were expelled by government forces backed by Russia and Iran. The surprise offensive is a major embarrassment for Syrian President Bashar Assad, who has regained total control of the city eight years ago. Israeli strike in Gaza allegedly kills workers with World Central Kitchen charity DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli airstrike on a car in Gaza has killed five people, according to a senior Palestinian health official. An aid worker says three of the people killed were employees of the charity World Central Kitchen. The charity's aid delivery efforts in Gaza were temporarily suspended earlier this year after an Israeli strike killed seven of its workers. Israel's military says it struck a wanted militant who had been involved in the Hamas attack that sparked the war. In a later statement, it said that the alleged attacker had worked with WCK and it asked “senior officials from the international community and the WCK administration to clarify” how that had come about. Lebanese fisherman hope ceasefire with Israel means normal life returning TYRE, Lebanon (AP) — The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is bringing hope for normality back to many in southern Lebanon. That includes fishermen who’ve long launched their single-engine wooden boats into the Mediterranean at dawn. For months, Israel imposed a siege that kept hundreds of fishermen at this ancient Phoenician port ashore. That upended their lives and dealt the industry a major blow. The port siege also cut people off from key ingredients for traditional Lebanese dishes. As war devastated their country, the loss of fish damaged a deep association with home. Now, the possibility of renewed fishing is helping fuel hope. How Brazilian police say Bolsonaro plotted a coup to stay in office SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s Federal Police have formally accused former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others of plotting a coup to keep him in office. The plot was allegedly comprised of several components and substantiated by evidence and testimony in the agency's 884-page report. The pieces of the puzzle include laying the groundwork by systematically sowing distrust of the electoral system among the populace. It also includes drafting a decree to give the plot a veneer of legal basis and pressuring top military brass to go along with the plan. Bolsonaro and his main allies have denied any wrongdoing or involvement and accuse authorities of political persecution. More than 100 arrested as Georgian police clash with protesters over suspension of EU talks TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — More than 100 demonstrators were arrested overnight in Georgia as protesters clashed with police following the government’s decision to suspend negotiations to join the European Union, the country’s Interior Ministry said. Friday marked the second straight night of protests after Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze of the country’s ruling Georgian Dream party announced the suspension the previous day. The Associated Press saw protesters in Tbilisi being chased and beaten by police as demonstrators rallied in front of the country's parliament building. The violence follows Georgian Dream’s disputed victory in the Oct. 26 election, which was widely seen as a referendum on the country’s aspirations to join the European Union. Romania's parliamentary vote risks being overshadowed by presidential race chaos BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Romanians are preparing to go to the polls in a parliamentary vote that will determine a new government and prime minister to lead the European Union and NATO member country. However, Sunday's vote is sandwiched between a two-round presidential race and is overshadowed by controversies and chaos following the outcome of the first vote. While the president has significant decision-making powers in areas such as national security and foreign policy, the prime minister is the head of the nation’s government. Sunday’s vote will determine the formation of the country’s 466-seat legislature. North Korea's Kim vows steadfast support for Russia’s war in Ukraine SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country will “invariably support” Russia’s war in Ukraine as he met Russia's visiting defense chief. A Russia military delegation led by Defense Minister Andrei Belousov arrived in North Korea on Friday as international concerns about the two countries’ expanding cooperation deepened after North Korea sent thousands of troops to Russia. During a Friday meeting, Kim and Belousov reached “a satisfactory consensus” on issues on how to further boost strategic partnership and defend each country’s sovereignty and security interests, state media said. Great Lakes, Plains and Midwest forecast to be hit with snow and dangerous cold into next week BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The first big snow of the season has the potential to bury towns in New York along lakes Erie and Ontario during a hectic holiday travel and shopping weekend. Forecasters says winter storm conditions could persist into next week and cause hazards in the Great Lakes, Plains and Midwest regions. Forecasters predict 4 to 6 feet of blowing and drifting snow could fall in Watertown and other areas east of Lake Ontario through Monday. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has declared a disaster emergency in affected areas.

UDF IV's Plan "Not to Reconvene the Annual Meeting" is Unacceptable Outcome for Shareholders NexPoint Urges UDF IV to Reconvene Meeting Following Full Disclosure of Ready Capital Transaction Details and to Disclose Amount of Shareholder Funds Used on Advisors for an Annual Meeting it has Failed to Hold DALLAS , Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NexPoint Real Estate Opportunities, LLC (together with its affiliates "NexPoint") today issued a statement regarding the "adjournment" of the United Development Funding IV ("UDF IV" or the "Company") Annual Meeting of Shareholders ("Annual Meeting") due to a lack of quorum and the Company's statement that it will not reconvene the Meeting. NexPoint provided the following comment: "We are deeply alarmed by UDF IV's announcement that it will not reconvene the Annual Meeting after failing to meet the quorum threshold. This decision exemplifies UDF IV's governance failures and unwillingness to engage with shareholders. This outcome also raises serious concerns about the current Board's ability to protect shareholder interests in the context of the proposed acquisition by Ready Capital (NYSE: RC). UDF IV's decision appears predicated on the assumption that the Ready Capital deal will close before the next Annual Meeting, suggesting they may seek to avoid holding its first contested annual meeting and Trustee election in nine years. "We call on UDF IV to reconvene the Annual Meeting in accordance with the Company's bylaws within 120 days after the record date, but only after providing shareholders with the disclosures necessary to assess the proposed transaction, including previously omitted disclosure schedules, recent financials, the proxy statement and many other material details. We also call on UDF IV to obtain a non-objecting beneficial owners (NOBO) list to ensure greater shareholder oversight and engagement." As stated, NexPoint declined to appear at the Annual Meeting due to concerns over the Company's last-minute announcement of the proposed Ready Capital merger, which appeared to be an attempt to sway the Annual Meeting's outcome without providing shareholders the necessary information to evaluate the proposed transaction. NexPoint would support the acquisition if full disclosure is presented, including current financials, and the transaction terms are fair. Independent proxy advisory firm Glass Lewis shares NexPoint's concerns about UDF IV's disclosure deficiencies and the Ready Capital deal: "While we understand a transaction of this nature could be viewed as something of a panacea for investors dissatisfied with the Trust's longstanding lack of liquidity and poor corporate governance, we believe shareholders have ample cause to question the timing of the transaction, the absence of key disclosures and, most fundamentally, the board's ability to credibly negotiate and secure a transformative transaction of this nature. That such an agreement would be executed less than two weeks prior to the Trust's first substantive election of directors in nearly ten years is more alarming still, and, in our view, further stokes concern about the board's true commitment to good governance and shareholder feedback." 1 NexPoint believes the Annual Meeting vote was a dead heat – certainly much closer than reported by UDF IV – demonstrating significant shareholder dissatisfaction with UDF IV's leadership. The Company exploited the purpose of the Annual Meeting and positioned it as a referendum on the merger to sway votes, which indeed caused some shareholders to change their vote in favor of the Company just days before the election. Glass Lewis states: "With the first meaningful board referendum in nearly a decade on the near-term docket — in this instance, seemingly only as a result of legal action in Maryland by NexPoint — UDF has notionally elevated the stakes by announcing a prospective acquisition of the Trust by Ready Capital in a partially contingent cash, stock and CVR transaction executed just eight days prior to the forthcoming AGM." 1 UDF IV has actively suppressed shareholder engagement, refusing any constructive dialogue with NexPoint. To avoid accountability, the Company first spent significant shareholder funds to prevent this meeting from occurring. Then, once a Maryland court ordered it to hold this meeting, it took no steps to obtain the NOBO list representing approximately 24 million of UDF IV's 30 million shares, which would have enabled them to advise those shareholders directly about the first election of independent trustees in nine years. They later fought NexPoint's efforts to obtain such a list, but spent significant shareholder funds on high-priced attorneys and public relations firms to advance their agenda. NexPoint now calls on UDF IV to disclose the costs borne by shareholders related to the Annual Meeting (and efforts to avoid it) the Company now suggests it may never hold. Shareholders are entitled to information from UDF IV to make their own decisions about the current Trustees and the proposed merger and deserve the opportunity to hold the Trustees accountable for years of value erosion and lost trust in favor of NexPoint's independent nominees. We encourage UDF IV shareholders to contact the Company to demand they reconvene the shareholder meeting, publish information on the merger, then meaningfully engage with NexPoint and other shareholders to answer their questions.

Her father, a farmer in Johor Bahru, gave her away to an Indian family shortly after. “The day I arrived at my new family’s home, my adopted father won the lottery,” Madam Jane told tabla! “So I also grew up with the nickname Pakiam, which means good fortune in Tamil.” Inspired by the anecdote and the tales of other Chinese children who were adopted and raised by Indian parents in Singapore pre-1960s, Madam Jane’s daughter, sociologist Theresa Devasahayam, embarked on a trail to document the lived experiences of 14 such women. Her book, entitled Little Drops: Cherished Children Of Singapore’s Past, was published on Feb 20, and documents anecdotes on Singapore’s history with cross-cultural adoption. Though she said it’s difficult to ascertain how many such adoptions took place between the 1930s and 1960s, Dr Theresa estimated the number to be in the thousands. Courts to get more power over child welfare in divorce cases “I wanted to pass on these lived experiences to the younger generation, many of whom may not know that this phenomenon of cross-cultural adoption had once been relatively common in Singapore,” she said. Madam Jane shared some of the challenges she faced growing up, such as when she would ask her adoptive mother of her origin. “I asked her, ‘how come I am so fair-skinned?’ My mother would jokingly reply that it was because I fell into a tub of milk,” she reminisced with a laugh. Madam Jane never picked up the Chinese language. In school, she learnt English and Malay, and even Latin. She learnt to speak Tamil on her own. When she was a young adult, her mother eventually told her the truth about her adoption. She then tried to seek out her birth family – but her efforts were unsuccessful. Despite that, she looks back on her life with gratitude towards her adoptive parents. Madam Saraswathi Nagalingam, also documented in the book, learnt of her true origins when she was 12. The 75-year-old’s foster parents were originally from India and settled in Singapore during the 1940s. “I do not know exactly at which age I was given away,” Madam Saraswathi said. “But I did see photographs of myself aged possibly two or three, with my adoptive parents, so I am guessing that I was adopted before that”. She remembers that although she was not treated any differently at school, there were some students who used to insist she was Chinese, which would make her cry. “I used to dislike how I looked. To comfort me, my mother would tell me that my skin would eventually be like hers as I grew older,” she said. As a form of protection, her mother made her wear a pottu (little black dot) on her forehead during the 1964 race riot between the Chinese and Malays. “This proved tricky, as I was attending a Methodist school, which at the time, discouraged Indian students from wearing the pottu. Once I removed the pottu and my mother found out. She was so upset with me that I never dared again to remove it. From that day, I realised the extent of her love for me,” Madam Sarawathi said. She also recalled a Chinese woman who used to turn up at her house occasionally when she was a child – only to be shooed away by her parents. She inferred that the woman was her birth mother, but never dared to ask her foster mum about it. When she turned 12, she discovered she was Chinese by birth from her birth certificate. “My adoptive mother insisted there was a mistake in the birth certificate. I was old enough to know the truth, but I loved her too much to ever bring the matter up again,” she said. Years later, when she was married, her husband once suggested she put an advertisement in the Chinese newspapers to locate her birth family. “I told him, you find that out if you want, but I am not interested. As far as I am concerned, I already have a family of my own,” she said. stateless Growing up in the kampung of Aljunied, Madam Thangah Koh was treated as an Indian in school and by her neighbours, who were predominantly Malay. The 72-year-old, whose foster father was a kacang putih seller, recalled the time she was left confused after being refused a pink identification card (IC). Instead, at the age of 14, she was given a blue IC, and told by a government official that she was Chinese. “The officer asked me if I was Chinese. I said, no! But he insisted that I was, showing my original Chinese name in my birth certificate. It was only then that I noticed my Chinese name for the first time,” Madam Thangah said. She was told that unless she could locate her birth parents, she could not be issued a pink IC. Eventually, Madam Thangah and her foster mother did find her birth family – at a flat in MacPherson. “My birth family were all in tears when they first saw me. Yet, strangely, I did not feel anything. Eventually I found out that another sister of mine was adopted by a Malay family,” she said. Today, as it was then, Madam Thangah expressed her pride in identifying as a Tamil woman: “I love my language, culture, customs and religion. To me, Tamil means beauty.” Those in the Tamil community who have attended Tamil literary events might find Madam Manoranjitham Param a familiar face. The 76-year-old, who is well versed in Tamil literature, is a regular at such events, where she stands out for her appearance. Madam Mano was adopted by a couple who had lost a child after he drowned in a river in Bukit Timah in the 1950s. Though they had two other sons, they adopted Madam Mano and her sister, who were four and three respectively at the time. “My adopted mother, who was grieving the loss of her son, gradually became herself again after she adopted us,” said Madam Mano, whose birth mother died shortly after her younger sister was born. Her father, she said, often encouraged her to study instead of doing household chores. “I became studious. In school I was always the top student in Tamil,” she said. She recalled how her Tamil teacher Mr Chelliah would praise her and scold “some lazy boys” in his class, saying “a Chinese girl can do so much better than you”. This prompted some teasing and name calling. “And then I would go to the teacher and say, please stop praising me.” Currently, the Ministry of Social and Family Development governs matters of adoption in Singapore. Hence, these stories of adoption, mostly during the early years of Singapore’s independence, provide a glimpse into yesteryear Singapore, said Dr Theresa, who has worked in gender studies for more than 25 years. “These stories are very much part of our past. Without knowing about these stories, we will never be able to truly understand ourselves and what we are capable of as a people,” she said. “And because they are a crucial part of our collective memory, it’s important to document them.”

The post-mortems explaining Kamala Harris ’ loss have been ongoing since election night, and after weeks of radio silence, the top brass of her failed presidential campaign have finally weighed in — to claim there’s little they could have done differently to defeat Donald Trump . In an exclusive interview given to the podcast Pod Save America , campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon, senior adviser David Plouffe , deputy campaign manager Quentin Fulks, and senior adviser Stephanie Cutter sat down with host Dan Pfeiffer to answer questions about the strategic choices made by the campaign. In an interview that felt decisively light on introspection and self accountability, the strategists repeatedly highlighted that the campaign had been saddled with a “a jump ball race” in a “pretty brutal” electoral atmosphere. “The truth is that we really thought this was a very close race. We talked about the entire time we saw it as a margin of error race, almost the entire time the vice president was in the race,” O’Malley Dillon said. “But, you know, we expected this to be close.” When asked about the decision to bring in prominent Republican figures like former Rep. Liz Cheney to act as surrogates for Harris — and hopefully draw in moderates or disaffected Republicans — the vice president’s campaign team argued that the blowback to Cheney’s involvement was overstated. “We’d spent a lot of time with voters who we were concerned weren’t going to vote. And the fact that Liz Cheney was supporting Kamala Harris was not an issue raised by any of them,” Plouffe said. “We needed some percentage of Republicans, but I think what people forget is, it’s more the independents who act like Republicans, where issues of democracy, of how unhinged he is, Project 2025, mattered to them, even as some conservative Democrats.” “It can sound like making excuses,” he continued. “This political environment sucked, OK? At the end of the day, we had to raise people’s concern and the threat level of a Trump second term. I think if you look at our internal data, and Quentin can speak to this, we did a lot of that. We just didn’t get it to the extent that we needed to to win.” Editor’s picks The 100 Best TV Episodes of All Time The 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time According to exit polls, the Harris campaign’s efforts to win over Republican voters and even moderates were not successful. This year, Harris only won 5 percent of Republican votes — a smaller percentage than Democrats won in either 2016 or 2020. Harris also won a smaller percentage of moderates and independents than Joe Biden did when he beat Trump last election cycle. At the same time, Democratic turnout cratered: the percentage of the electorate who identified as Democrats this year was down substantially from recent elections. Plouffe acknowledged that the campaign anticipated that it needed to win more independent voters and Republicans than Democrats did in 2020, but did not explain why so many fewer Democrats voted this year and was not asked to clarify that, either. In the Harris team’s view, her campaign could not overcome Trump’s sprawling Super PAC funding apparatus (despite Democrats holding record-breaking campaign coffers), digital dominance, and control of culture war narratives. Plouffe attributed that to the Trump campaign and Republican outside groups more actively coordinating their strategies together than Democrats do. “We have to stop playing a different game as it relates to Super PACs than the Republicans,” he said. “Love our Democratic lawyers. I’m tired of them. They coordinate more than we do. I think amongst themselves, I think with the presidential campaign. I’m just sick and tired of it, OK?” Related Content Mexican President Claps Back at Trump Over Tariffs Trump Aide Said He'd Boost Admin. Candidate in Exchange for 3-on-3 Basketball Funding: Report Dems Call on Biden to Limit Weed Prosecutions Before Trump Takes Over Gibson Hits Trump Guitars With Cease and Desist Outside groups like Super PACs are supposed to be independent from political candidates; this is the supposed basis of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. But the Federal Election Commission this year ruled that campaigns and outside groups can coordinate on their canvassing operations . Soon after, the Trump campaign effectively outsourced its field operations to Elon Musk’s America PAC and the conservative youth-focused outside group Turning Point USA. “He had an army of Super PACs that were so coordinated. I’m sure there’s some legal way they were communicated, coordinated,” O’Malley Dillon said, adding that “our side was completely mismatched when it came to the ecosystem of Trump and his super PACs and ours.” In probably the most introspective moment of the conversation, Fulks stated point blank that Democrats’ fixation on policing internal rhetoric within the party is damaging their overall ability to maintain strong candidacies. “Democrats are eating our own, to a very high degree,” he said. “And until that stops, we’re not going to be able to address a lot of the things that just need to be said. And like, for the masculinity piece of it, men don’t like people that apologize. I don’t know what age bracket, but it’s called standing on business. If you say something, you mean it. Trump does not apologize. If he says something, he means it, and his party stands behind him and they don’t make him backtrack it.”Texas A&M signed the nation’s top-ranked recruiting class three years ago believing it had built a potential national title contender. Plenty of players from that heralded 2022 class could indeed be participating in the first 12-team College Football Playoff this month. They just won’t be doing it for the Aggies, who no longer have nearly half their 2022 signees. The list of 2022 recruits now with playoff contenders elsewhere includes Mississippi defensive lineman Walter Nolen, Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart, Alabama defensive lineman LT Overton, SMU offensive tackle PJ Williams and injured Boise State receiver Chris Marshall. Texas A&M has done all right without them, going 8-4 as transfers filled about half the starting roles. Texas A&M represents perhaps the clearest example of how recruiting and roster construction have changed in the era of loosened transfer restrictions. Coaches must assemble high school classes without always knowing which of their own players are transferring and what players from other schools could be available through the portal. “It used to be you lost 20 seniors, you signed 20 incoming freshmen,” Duke coach Manny Diaz said. “You just had your numbers right. Now you might lose 20 seniors, but you might lose 20 underclassmen. You just don’t know.” Coaches emphasize that high school recruiting remains critical, but recent results suggest it isn’t as vital as before. The last two College Football Playoff runners-up – TCU in 2022 and Washington in 2023 – didn’t sign a single top-15 class in any of the four years leading up their postseason runs, according to composite rankings of recruiting sites compiled by 247Sports. This year’s contenders have shown there’s more than one way to build a championship-caliber roster. About half of No. 1 Oregon’s usual starters began their college careers elsewhere. No. 5 Georgia, which annually signs one of the nation’s top high school classes, has only a few transfers making major contributions. Colorado’s rise under Deion Sanders exemplifies how a team can win without elite high school recruiting. None of Colorado’s last four classes have ranked higher than 30th in the 247Sports Composite. Three ranked 47th or lower. “If anybody ever did the homework and the statistics of these young men – people have a class that they say is the No. 1 class in the nation – then five of those guys play, or four of those guys play, then the rest go through the spring and then they jump in the portal,” Sanders said. “Don’t give me the number of where you rank (in recruiting standings), because it’s like an NFL team," he added. "You always say who won the draft, then the team gets killed all year (and) you don’t say nothing else about it. Who won the draft last year in the NFL? Nobody cares right now, right?” Wisconsin's Christian Alliegro tries to stop Oregon's Evan Stewart, right, during the first half of a Nov. 16 game in Madison, Wis. Star quarterback Shedeur Sanders followed his father from Jackson State to Colorado in 2023, and Heisman Trophy front-runner Travis Hunter accompanied them. According to Colorado, this year’s Buffaloes team has 50 transfer newcomers, trailing only North Texas’ 54 among Bowl Subdivision programs. Relying on transfers comes with caveats. Consider Florida State's rise and fall. Florida State posted an unbeaten regular-season record last year with transfers playing leading roles. When those transfers departed and Florida State's portal additions this year didn't work out, the Seminoles went 2-10. “There has to be some type of balance between the transfer portal and high school recruiting,” said Andrew Ivins, the director of scouting for 247Sports. “I compare it to the NFL. The players from the transfer portal are your free agents and high school recruiting is your NFL draft picks.” A look at the composite rankings of recruiting sites compiled by 247Sports for the 2020-22 classes shows at least 40 of the top 100 prospects each of those years ended up leaving their original school. Coaches must decide which positions they’re better off building with high school prospects and which spots might be easier to fill through the portal. “The ones that have a ton of learning to do - tight end, quarterback, interior offensive line, inside linebacker, safety, where they are the communicators - they are the guys that are processing a lot of information,” Florida’s Billy Napier said. “Those are the ones in a perfect world you have around for a while. “It’s easier to play defensive line, edge, corner, receiver, running back, tackle, specialists. Those are a little bit more plug-and-play I’d say, in my opinion," Napier said. "Either way, it’s not necessarily about that. It’s just about we need a certain number at each spot, and we do the best we can to fill those roles.” Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, right, congratulates place kicker Cristiano Palazzo after he kicked an extra point during the second half of Friday's game against Oklahoma Stat in Boulder, Colo. Power Four programs aren’t the only ones facing a balancing act between recruiting high schools and mining the transfer portal. Group of Five schools encounter similar challenges. “We’re recruiting every position and bringing in a high school class,” Eastern Michigan coach Chris Creighton said. “That’s not going to be maybe 24 scholarship guys like it used to be. It might be more like 16. It’s not four d-linemen necessarily, right? It might be three. It might not be three receivers. It might be two. And it might not be five offensive linemen. It’s two to three.” The extra hurdle Group of Five schools face is the possibility their top performers might leave for a power-conference program with more lucrative name, image and likeness financial opportunities. They sometimes don’t know which players they’ll lose. “We know who they’re trying to steal,” Miami (Ohio) coach Chuck Martin quipped. “We just don’t know who they’re going to steal.” The obstacles facing coaches are only getting steeper as FBS teams prepare for a 105-man roster limit as part of the fallout from a pending $2.8 billion NCAA antitrust settlement. While having 105 players on scholarship seems like an upgrade from the current 85-man scholarship limit, many rosters have about 125 players once walk-ons are included. Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said last week his program would probably end up with about 30-50 players in the portal due to the new roster restrictions. All the added dimensions to roster construction in the college game have drawn parallels to the NFL, but Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck believes those comparisons are misleading. “When people talk about college football right now, they’re saying, ‘Oh, we have an NFL model,’ or it’s kind of moving toward the NFL,” Fleck said. “First of all, it’s nothing like the NFL. There’s a collective bargaining agreement (in the NFL). There’s a true salary cap for everybody. It’s designed for all 32 fan bases to win the Super Bowl maybe once every 32 years – and I know other people are winning that a lot more than others – but that’s how it’s designed. In college football, it’s not that way.” There does seem to be a bit more competitive balance than before. The emergence of TCU and Washington the last couple of postseasons indicates this new era of college football has produced more unpredictability. Yet it’s also created many more challenges as coaches try to figure out how to put together their rosters. “It’s difficult because we’re just kind of inventing it on the fly, right?” Diaz said.

After a year of volatility, job cuts, uncertainty and brilliance, Crikey chased down Australia’s biggest media figures — from journalists to editors to defamation lawyers to academics — to pick their brains about our industry. What they shared has formed the backbone of a multi-part Crikey series, Movers and Shakers , holding a mirror up to the industry and asking it to reflect on itself. We emailed roughly 200 people the same eight questions and about one in four got back to us. It was an imperfect list — if we missed you, let us know for next year — but we contacted people from the following outlets: Nine’s major metropolitan mastheads as well as people in its broadcast divisions, The Australian Financial Review , Network Ten, Seven, SBS, the ABC, 2GB, Sky News Australia, Guardian Australia , the News Corp newspapers, The Conversation , Daily Mail Australia , Australian Associated Press, Apple News, Mamamia , Pedestrian and Schwartz Media. Australia’s media movers and shakers on the biggest threats to journalism Read More We also included journalism academics, media lawyers and industry body executives, as well as people from smaller outlets like The Nightly , Quillette , Unmade , Capital Brief , the Koori Mail , About Time , The Daily Aus, Women’s Agenda , IndigenousX, Mumbrella , 6 News Australia and of course Crikey . More than 50 people generously offered us their insightful, searing and sometimes cheeky thoughts on the state of the industry. In this instalment, here’s what they had to say on who survives the purge in Australian journalism and what outlets need to do to tough it out. Who survives in Australian media? Dave Earley, audience editor at Guardian Australia : The ABC and SBS? Johan Lidberg, head of journalism at Monash University: ABC and SBS will survive. Australia has a particular responsibility being one of only 12-15 (depending on how you define proper financing of independent journalism) in the world with strong public service journalism. The commercial journalism sector will depend on what the government does with the NMBC [news media bargaining code] and/or tax levies on the tech platforms to fund public interest journalism. Very unclear. But there is an argument for tax/government funding of commercial public interest journalism. Janine Perrett, journalist, broadcaster and commentator: I think Nine is best placed among the local media groups by providing an alternative to Fox/News and continuing to break stories. However, I don’t underestimate the power or hypocrisy of their rivals to undermine a vastly superior journalistic product. Alan Kohler, founder of Eureka Report: I don’t know who survives — certainly only subscriber publications, and possibly just niche ones. Oh, and the ABC. Kishor Napier-Raman, CBD columnist for The Sydney Morning Herald : The lucky. The already upper middle class. Bridie Jabour, associate editor (audio/visual) at Guardian Australia : Anyone breaking stories. Paul Barry, former host of ABC’s Media Watch : Outfits that can sell subscriptions. That’s bad news for tabloids, who have little that’s unique to sell. Even the Daily Mail has now put up a paywall. Ben Schneiders, reporter for ABC’s Four Corners : The outlook is pretty bleak. Among the bigger commercial players, I’d expect most if not all of free-to-air TV to be far smaller and employ far fewer journalists over the next five years. TV is facing similar structural problems that print did 15-20 years ago but is far more reliant on advertising, making its prospects worse. Among major commercial media, the old Fairfax mastheads — The Age , SMH and Financial Review — have the best prospects to survive due to now having large and successful subscription models. The Nine takeover of Fairfax was a disaster for media diversity and came just at the time the old mastheads had hit their lowest point in terms of financial viability. As they’ve recovered they now have the misfortune of being shackled to a struggling free-to-air TV business. Kate McClymont, chief investigative reporter at The Sydney Morning Herald : Who knows? It’s concerning to see Channel Ten hanging on by a thread and sharp declines in revenue across all media platforms. Particularly troubling is the decimation of local and regional news outlets. The city-based media outlets can’t fill this role. Eliza Sorman Nilsson, head of content at Mamamia : Publishers that don’t bury their heads in the sand, who instead take risks, experiment with formats and leverage new technologies. But most importantly the media that understands where its audience is and meets audiences where they are at. The survivors will be the publishers that focus on community and build loyal, engaged audiences rather than chase fleeting viral moments. They will be publishers that invest in talent and prioritise skilled journalists, content creators and innovative teams to ensure relevance is sustained. The survivors will also be companies that can shift from short-term vanity metrics to sustainable, value-driven goals. When you have a purpose, it makes it so much easier to serve the audience rather than dollars. Sally Neighbour, former EP of ABC’s Four Corners and 7:30 : I don’t know, but I’m not terrified by the question as I was 15 years ago. Back then, or whenever it was that disruption exploded among us, I thought mainstream media was doomed, journalism possibly too. For a while there I would have warned eager school/uni leavers against pursuing journalism as a career because it seemed there might be no future in it. I don’t feel that way at all now. Despite disruption, new media outlets and platforms have thrived. Some have thrived then failed, eg Buzzfeed and Vice . Other newcomers have flourished (so far): Guardian Australia , Crikey , Schwartz Media and others have survived and enriched our information landscape. Someone will have figured out the secret of success vs failure; not me, sorry. Erik Jensen, CEO and editor-in-chief of Schwartz Media: Publishers that are focused on quality and that build deep relationships with their audiences. The titles that thrive are the ones that place their audience at the centre of their business. Gabrielle Jackson, deputy editor at Guardian Australia : Who survives will be those willing to listen to young people and others who have switched off the news, to rethink how they tell stories and stay committed to fact-based reporting. Changing the way we tell stories doesn’t mean abandoning facts and basic newsgathering. Just because a young woman is talking fast on TikTok doesn’t mean it’s not serious journalism. Those who are willing to sell their journalism to the highest bidder do the profession a disservice and I can’t see them having a long-term future. We have to stop thinking about the masthead and start thinking about how we get the facts that are essential for a functional civil society to people in a way they want to hear/read/listen to them. Nick McKenzie, investigative journalist at The Age : I feel like there will be further consolidation and belt-tightening. Smaller players such as Guardian Australia seem to have lost their mojo while bigger newsrooms are also just emerging from a rocky year. The cultural and structural reforms at Nine, the ABC and other large players will hopefully reenergise our newsrooms. Change is hard and constant. The ABC seems particularly lost at sea, but it also has some of the best reporting teams in the country. Our newsrooms have lost some really experienced and talented hands but we also have some of the best new reporters I’ve seen in years. Waleed Aly, co-host of Network 10’s The Project : I assume the ABC survives in some form or other because its funding model is least compromised. Commercial television becomes increasingly focused on the streaming services attached to the main channels, and maybe that means the main channels cease altogether at some point. Other than that, it’s probably a series of very small operators with small budgets producing low-cost work. The main possible scenario that differs from that is that the rise of streaming and the collapse of free-to-air broadcast reaches some kind of equilibrium. Audiences stabilise at a level that keeps commercial broadcast going for another generation. This seems less likely to me, but I can imagine it. Misha Ketchell, editor of The Conversation Australia: The survivors in Australian media are a mixed bag. Sometimes the puffed-up bullies and self-promoters have too long a reign — Andrew Bolt, Alan Jones, Kyle Sandilands anyone? But there are also so many wonderful principled journalists. Michelle Grattan is a legend — rigorous, insightful and diligent, the best of the best. We are lucky to live in the era of Nick McKenzie, Kate McClymont, Michael Bachelard and colleagues, some of the best straight-out reporters I’ve ever seen. I think Neil Mitchell has been a great broadcaster in Melbourne. I’ve worked with some incredible people; Gay Alcorn, Michael Gawenda and James Button at Nine, Jo Puccini, Jonathan Holmes and Paul Barry at the ABC. You’ve got a few pretty impressive types at Crikey too. Eric Beecher has had an extraordinary career and will be celebrated as both an entrepreneur and a journalist, Sophie Black is a crack editor and Bernard Keane is a top-shelf columnist anywhere, anytime. And I have to mention Stephen Mayne, for being the original gadfly and one of the best. Jordan Baker, chief reporter at The Sydney Morning Herald : Outlets that tell compelling, important, agenda-setting stories in an engaging way will, I think, survive. It’s our core business; it always has been and I think the commercial challenges have actually forced us to get better at it, despite fewer resources. The idea of asking people to pay for online news subscriptions once seemed to be a pipe dream — “Why would people pay for what we’ve been giving away for free?” organisations would say — and yet subscriptions to the Herald and Age are strong because our readers see the value in what we do. Marc Fennell, presenter and journalist: Whoever has a direct financial relationship with their audience. If you are reliant on a middleman (i.e. Meta or Youtube) then your business is built on a house of cards. I lived through Facebook turning off its pipeline to video and it devastated so many people’s jobs and businesses when the “pivot to video” broke down. If you own your relationship with the audience, you are in a much stronger position. Karen Percy, federal president at MEAA: News media agencies that are transparent and upfront about how they do their work, how they are funded, what their policies are, how they deal with complaints, and those that engage meaningfully with their audiences. Those that go beyond clickbait and make decisions about their coverage based on the public interest and the public’s right to know. Ethical, public interest journalism can still be entertaining and engaging, as well as informative. Those agencies that recognise they need to adapt and go to where the audiences are. Traditional print and broadcast absolutely still have a place, but TikTok, Instagram and the yet-to-be-revealed platforms of the future are crucial to reaching new consumers and young people. Consumption habits have changed and will continue to evolve. The outlets that adapt, innovate and experiment with technology while maintaining journalistic principles and ethics — and consulting with their workers — will be in the best position. Louise Milligan, reporter at ABC’s Four Corners : I think those breaking public interest journalism stories will survive. What does an outlet need to do in 2024 to grow and keep audiences? Myriam Robin, editor of The Australian Financial Review’s Rear Window: Ugh, be good? It’s never really changed! Marc Dodd, editor of nine.com.au: It’s all about engagement. Eric Beecher, chairman of Private Media (publisher of Crikey ): Create and perpetuate trust, be transparent with your audience, declare your conflicts of interest, do honest journalism not bullshit marketing, and live with your conscience. Lisa Davies, CEO of AAP: Be authentic. Understand who you’re writing for and serve them. Morry Schwartz, founder of Schwartz Media: Publish only quality journalism, not just sprinkled between the dross. Kishor Napier-Raman, CBD columnist for The Sydney Morning Herald : This is above my pay grade. Justin Stevens, ABC director of news: Cover the issues that matter to its audience in an impactful and engaging way, do journalism with impact, distribute it in a dynamic and agile way to ensure it reaches as many parts of the audience as possible, add value, help make sense of the complex world we live in and put humans at the centre of reporting. Misha Ketchell, editor of The Conversation Australia: The best way to grow and keep an audience is to put your reader at the centre of everything you do. When I start work each day I think: “I’ve got eight or nine hours today, how can I spend them to best serve my readers? What do they need to know? What do they want to know? How can I find these things out for them?” The other thing would be to create some sort of virus that brings down TikTok, Instagram, X and the rest. That’d be a better world, wouldn’t it? Marc Fennell, presenter and journalist: A direct relationship with your consumer. They need to feel connected to your masthead/brand. It needs to be a relationship built on trust and they need to feel the value in what you do. And that applies to public media (ABC & SBS) as well as commercial and subscription. The moment the audience feels no value in what you do then I fear for your long-term health. Eliza Sorman Nilsson, head of content at Mamamia : So many ways (embracing TikTok, video, vodcasts, YouTube, affiliates, Substack, looking for new revenue models) but here are my fave two: Don’t just “set and forget” when it comes to content types. Always follow audience trends and evolve content. This year, we saw the closure of Jezebel . It closed for a few reasons but it’s a cautionary tale to find ways to evolve that are still key to your DNA. In its glory days, Jezebel was all about the feminist noisy opinion, but over the years the internet has gotten tired of hot takes and rage-bait. Jezebel , in my opinion, wasn’t able to find its next big play. Good reminder that absolutely nothing can stand still. Targeted audience growth: I think 2024/2025 will be all about personalisation. By focusing on specific reader demographics and tailoring content accordingly, outlets will be able to effectively grow their subscriber base while maintaining high engagement rates​. Alex Bruce-Smith, head of editorial at Pedestrian : Be brave enough to abandon old strategies. What worked last month or year might not work tomorrow. And to do that in a challenging market, you need to be honest with yourself about what’s not working, and try something new. At least it keeps it interesting! Sally Neighbour, former EP of ABC’s Four Corners and 7:30 : Embrace change. Go where the audience is. Experiment. Be driven principally by the journalism, not by the platform or delivery methods. Most importantly, continue to invest in and provide high-quality, properly resourced journalism that is worth fighting to preserve. Erik Jensen, CEO and editor-in-chief of Schwartz Media: Commit to what is important. Pursue quality and seriousness. Trust the audience’s intelligence. Be single-minded in your focus. Do not get distracted by what is not working. Invest in difficult stories. Remain optimistic. Do not let cynicism dim creativity. Remember what journalism and journalism alone can do and do that. Mandi Wicks, SBS director of news and current affairs: News organisations need to publish to all platforms and devices audiences are using. SBS’ output on third-party platforms is critical to growing audiences — we have seen audiences are consuming more short-form vertical videos on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, and longer-form videos on YouTube. Consumption of news podcasts has been increasing along with engagement via newsletters and app notifications. Safeguarding trust in news is also key to retaining audiences. Editorial standards and transparency drive perceptions of trust in news. For SBS, this includes accuracy, balance, impartiality and inclusive reporting when covering the many communities we serve, including First Nations, faith and multicultural communities, LGBTIQ+ and people living with disabilities. Peter Lalor, Cricket Et Al : Fucked if I know. Chris Janz: CEO of Capital Brief : I believe there is a real shift from the mass-reach model that aggregates the largest number of eyeballs to a more nuanced, quality-driven approach. Readers are seeking out genuine insight from journalists who are subject-matter experts who can tell them what is really going on. Dave Earley, audience editor at Guardian Australia : Build trust. Have fun doing it. The news fatigue is real, but it’s possible to be informative about serious news topics in a fun and engaging way (see Washington Post TikTok since 2019). To that end, where you have resources to do it, reach people where they are and measure that reach internally, even if it won’t be reflected in industry measures. Your audience engagement off-platform — off your website and without page views — is a legitimate measure of how many people you are reaching. Do it well and you will grow those audiences. Do it in a way that doesn’t break trust and you will keep those audiences. Keep them engaged and they might even start coming back to your site to read the full story, subscribe to an email, contribute or convert to a paying subscriber. Jordan Baker, chief reporter at The Sydney Morning Herald : This is the million-dollar question. I do, however, think that compelling, well-told stories will always be core, no matter how the way we deliver them evolves. Cam Wilson, associate editor at Crikey : Outlets need clarity about why people support them. In my mind, there are two main reasons: access or patronage. Either you have information that people need to have (timely scoops on topics that have ramifications for things like business and politics) or you have content that people want to support because they like it and it is something they want to see exist (takes and critiques from people they trust, underrepresented voices, reporting on issues and people that they emotionally care about). Then, you need to get people to pay for it. Gay Alcorn, former editor of The Age : Depends entirely on what kind of an outlet it is! That’s too broad a question to answer. For the so-called “serious” media: hold their nerve as to their purpose, be honest with their audiences, be humble, correct errors, be brave and try things. Simple! Data is important, but it’s not the only measure of success. Gina Rushton, editor of Crikey : There are some very boring logistical answers to this question but to be romantic about it — I think you need to be able to level with your readers. There was a period around 2016 where people were earnest and outraged and that really drove traffic. I think we’ve all been through a lot in the past decade and readers want outlets that are transparent, straight-talking, trust their readers’ intellect and (ideally) do so with some irreverence and flair. Paddy Manning, journalist and author: I hate the celebrification of journalism and the feeling we are drowning in takes and starving for straight reporting. The opinion cycle only feeds public cynicism — the audience is jaded and wise to the BS and the fake news backlash is part of that. Let’s get back to basics. Report. Dig. Tell the truth without fear or favour. That’s hard yakka and highly skilled btw. Nic Christensen, former head of corporate communications at SBS and head of corporate affairs at Nine: Come to terms with their third-party aggregation strategy and how it fits with their wider audience/commercial strategy. The ACCC has found the platforms are unavoidable partners for most outlets but media needs to figure out how we engage with them in a way that is sustainable but which also doesn’t make us dependent on them.
