Bloomberg Media CEO Justin Smith, Times' Ben to launch global media
NEW YORK, Jan 5: Bloomberg Media CEO Justin Smith has left the financial behemoth
to launch his own global news organisation. New York Times media columnist Ben
Smith also has left his Times job to lead Justin's future newsroom.
Justin Smith says, "The news industry is facing a crisis in consumer trust
and confidence due to the distorting influence of social media and rising levels
of polarization and parochialism." And that is going to define his start-up.
“My plan is to launch a premium news business that serves unbiased journalism
to a global audience and provides a high-quality platform for the best journalists
in the world,” he added in an email now quoted by media. He has decided to pursue
a "personal dream", and a "market opportunity." Earlier Justin was president
of Atlantic Media, which owns The Atlantic, in New York.
Ben Smith wants to reach 200 million 'college educated' audience. "There are
200 million people who are college educated, who read in English, but who no
one is really treating like an audience, but who talk to each other and talk
to us," Ben Smith told the Times on Tuesday. "That’s who we see as our audience."
Smith had joined the Times in 2020 after leading BuzzFeed News for eight years.
He plans with Justin a global newsroom experimenting with new formats of story-telling.
David G Bradley, partner in The Atlantic and Atlantic Media, is likely financing
the new venture, according to reports.
WHAT TO DO, WHEN... : IndiaTravelTimes does not guarantee the
authenticity of the video (above) of the episode of the flight turbulence at
Durgapur airport on May 1, yet this is being put out with a view to
familiarising the ordinary fliers with such probabilities lest they are
caught unawares and fail to react rationally to handle such terrible
situations. The 'eternity' can last up to 15 minutes. Tighten your belts,
believe in your pilot and shift your thoughts to reduce disabling anxieties!
Rest assured, the aircraft can rock and fall but not more than a hundred
feet anyway.
During the event, nearly 50 other people, including bull tamers and spectators,
were also injured. Jallikattu is a bull-taming sport, which has been part of the
festival of Pongal in Tamil Nadu.
Whole localities are sent into quarantine in China using force if someone is
symptomatic of covid. The quarantines are metal boxes set up in far away
camps. The authoritarian regime is resorting to draconian methods to check a
new wave of the epidemic in the country that has already locked down three
cities currently. On the other hand, the US presents a contrasting scenario
where in the name freedom large sections of people refuse vaccination and
assault health workers who mandate the covid restrictions.
Virgin Galactic's Richard Branson, who opened a new chapter in
space age last month by launching the first manned private flight
to the edge of space, flying in his own spaceplane, has
invited everyone to join his expedition of space travel and

the mind-blowing sight of the earth's curvatures from the orbit far above: Register Your Name Here
Can we ask the vaccinator, "Do you pull back the plunger and
then push the vaccine? Do you Aspirate?" When the vaccination
for covid started there were reports of worrisome incidents of
adverse events post immunisation, the serious complaints being
non-specific blood clots. These related to viral vector vaccines of
human and non-human source: AstraZeneca and Janssen. How
did it happen. There are various views. But here is a suggestion
how simply it can be prevented.
Marking a fierce but interesting competition among the
billionaires, adventure specialist Richard Branson launched
commercial space travel from his 'Spaceport America' on Sunday,
pipping the world's richest man, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, to the
post, becoming the early bird to fly to the edge of space as the
first private space tourist nine days earlier than his rival.

President Biden has signed the Juneteenth National
Independence Day Bill making June 19 a federal public holiday to

The Mars rover, a six-wheeled, SUV-sized robotic vehicle, sailed
through space for seven months to land on a prime spot for geo-biological study of the red planet for signs of ancient extraterrestrial life. It takes radio waves 11 minutes to reach Earth. (Listen to:- DAVID BOWIE: Life
On Mars?:)
While the rationalists debunk the episode as a ploy to make up for
the losses in offerings during the corona lockdown, the believers
stick to their claim, they have seen it after all! The claim of
Shankaralinga temple resembles the miracle of Ganesha drinking
milk in Delhi way back in 1995. Although they belong to two
different branches of science.
