FX and The New York Times (New York, NY): FX and The New York Times have partnered for new series titled “The Weekly.” The show, which will air on TV and stream on Hulu in early 2019, is a narrative documentary news program that includes one or two of The Times’s biggest and most important visual stories each week. Viewers will be with those stories and the reporters as the show brings them to life. The following staff has been added to the story team: Dan Barry, who has been a national news columnist for the paper for years, will lend his expertise in storytelling; and Laura Kim, senior producer on the Facebook Live team, also has joined The Weekly team. Before joining The Times in 2017, she worked for MSNBC as a producer and digital producer for “Morning Joe.”
The Wall Street Journal (Washington, DC): Ken Thomas has joined The Wall Street Journal as politics reporter to cover Democrats and the 2020 campaign. He most recently served as a White House reporter with The Associated Press and has covered politics for the AP since he joined the Washington bureau in 1999.
Los Angeles Times (Los Angeles, Calif.): Sammy Roth is set to join the Los Angeles Times this month as a reporter covering energy. He comes from the Desert Sun, where he worked as energy reporter for four years.
