KEY BLOCK----- By Brian Stelter and the CNNMoney Media team - [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) ** Sumner Redstone will testify... ------------------------------------------------------------ Big, awkward news out of L.A.: A judge says Viacom/CBS owner "Sumner Redstone will have to provide testimony in the upcoming trial to determine whether he is mentally competent," the L.A. Times' Meg James reports. (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-sumner-redstone-pretrial-hearing-20160502-snap-story.html) The trial is set to start on Friday. "Redstone must give a 15- to 30-minute deposition at his home, which will be videotaped and played for the judge at trial." The video won't be released, but a transcript of the testimony will be... -- "It is essential that the court see and hear from Redstone himself to make a fully informed decision," the judge said... -- Can Redstone speak coherently? We'll find out. THR: (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/sumner-redstone-testify-video-at-889388) "Redstone's speech therapist should be present and can act as an interpreter if necessary..." Tuesday is World Press Freedom Day The United Nations highlights the importance of having an "independent, free media" all around the world through Tuesday's World Press Freedom Day. (http://www.un.org/en/events/pressfreedomday/) The picture is not pretty... According to Freedom House's most recent report, (https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-press/freedom-press-2016) "press freedom declined to its lowest point in 12 years in 2015, as political, criminal, and terrorist forces sought to co-opt or silence the media in their broader struggle for power... 41% percent of the world’s population has a partly free press, and 46% live in Not Free media environments..." ** Why Periscope just hired an editor in chief ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the future," Felix Salmon tweeted tonight, "every company will have an EIC." Salmon broke the news that Medium editor Evan Hansen is leaving the company and joining Periscope as editor in chief. (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/periscope-editor-in-chief/index.html ) It's a head-scratching title. Why does a live video app need an editor? Because the app needs to help users spot the very best live streams amid all the noise, especially as it faces a fresh challenge from Facebook. Here's how Hansen described the job to me: (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/periscope-editor-in-chief/index.html ) "Curating best feeds to start, surfacing the most interesting content to the people most likely to want to see it." But it'll entail more than that: "It is new territory with lots of potential room to develop..." ** Bleak #'s for Wilmore's "Nightly Show" ------------------------------------------------------------ Will Larry Wilmore's #WHCD performance give his "Nightly Show" a boost? I'm guessing probably not... Which is unfortunate for him. The #'s in Frank Pallotta and Mark Mooney's story are striking: (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/larry-wilmore-the-nightly-show-ratings/index.html?iid=SF_LN) "Nightly" is averaging "492,000 viewers who watch live or within the same day of the broadcast, according to Nielsen data... In his last four months, Stephen Colbert was averaging 1.1 million same day viewers." Read more here... (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/larry-wilmore-the-nightly-show-ratings/index.html?iid=SF_LN) ** Hannity is proud of himself ------------------------------------------------------------ Dylan Byers reports: In a campaign season rife with handwringing over the media's coverage of Trump, Sean Hannity does no handwringing. He has embraced his role as the face of anti-establishment conservative media. Critics debate whether he's spent more time interviewing Trump or Ted Cruz, but that is hardly the salient point. What matters is that he always offers Trump — who increasingly looks poised to be the Republican nominee, and therefore Hannity's pick for president — robust praise and safe harbor from criticism. Click through for the full story... (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/sean-hannity-donald-trump-profile/index.html) -- This is my favorite passage from Dylan's piece: (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/sean-hannity-donald-trump-profile/index.html) At the White House Correspondents' Dinner, President Obama mocked the media's lack of restraint: "I hope you all are proud of yourselves," he said. But that's just the thing: Hannity is proud of himself... ** Hulk Hogan suing Gawker* ------------------------------------------------------------ ** *Yes, this is actually a new headline about a new lawuit ------------------------------------------------------------ Frank Pallotta reports: Hulk Hogan filed a new suit against Gawker today in the same Florida state court where he won a $140 million judgment in March. This time, he's alleging that Gawker "intentionally inflicted emotional distress upon him by leaking a sealed transcript of surreptitiously recorded private oral communications in a bedroom to the media." The transcript included Hogan using the N word. Gawker denies leaking the information. "This is getting ridiculous," the company said in a statement this afternoon. Read more...

(The Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/may/02/eurovision-us-television-first-time?CMP=edit_2221) ) -- WhatsApp has been blocked in Brazil. Why? For "failing to turn over data as part of an ongoing drug trafficking investigation," CNN's Shasta Darlington reports... (http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/02/world/whatsapp-suspended-brazil/index.html) (CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/02/world/whatsapp-suspended-brazil/index.html) ) -- "Is Glenn dead?" "Is Jon Snow dead?" Brian Lowry has a message for the makers of hit TV shows: "It's simply bad form to lie, whatever the intentions..." (CNNMoney (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/game-of-thrones-jon-snow/index.html?iid=SF_LN) ) -- Nu Yang, writing for Editor & Publisher, (http://www.editorandpublisher.com/feature/as-digital-fatigue-sets-in-readers-are-waking-up-to-newspapers/) argues that as "digital fatigue sets in," print "is poised for a revival." Really. Read this column, (http://www.editorandpublisher.com/feature/as-digital-fatigue-sets-in-readers-are-waking-up-to-newspapers/) and email me your feedback (mailto:[email protected]) ... I'll share some of it in tomorrow night's newsletter... ** Hulu announcement on Wednesday? ------------------------------------------------------------ Following up on last night's WSJ scoop that Hulu is piecing together a cablelike bundle of channels... Aiming for a Q1 2016 launch... Here are today's updates: -- Deadline's (http://deadline.com/2016/05/disney-fox-hulu-streaming-service-fight-cable-1201747498/) David Lieberman with the headline of the day: "Are Disney And Fox Ready To Use Hulu To Declare War On Cable TV?" -- NYT's (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/03/business/media/hulu-is-said-to-plan-full-cable-and-broadcast-channel-streaming.html?_r=0) Emily Steel and Brooks Barnes: "Mike Hopkins, the CEO of Hulu, may discuss the concept at Hulu’s presentation for advertisers on Wednesday..." -- Variety's (http://variety.com/2016/digital/news/nbcuniversal-in-talks-with-hulu-to-join-channels-1201764562/) Daniel Holloway: "NBCUniversal, the silent partner in Hulu, "is in talks" to provide its channels... "The two companies are in the early stages of active negotiations." ** Tribune calls Gannett execs thieves ------------------------------------------------------------ Today Gannett took its bid for Tribune Publishing straight to Tribune shareholders, (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/gannett-tribune-shareholders/index.html?iid=SF_LN) asking them to vote to "withhold" TribCo board members next month. Tribune says its review of Gannett's $12.25-per-share offer is still underway, but in the meantime it's attacking Gannett, calling the rival newspaper owner "desperate" and disingenuous: "Gannett has no path to control for Tribune Publishing and their tactics clearly demonstrate a desperate and opportunistic attempt to steal the company." Tribune's board meeting is on June 2. Gannett hopes the company will enter into formal acquisition negotiations before then. Here's my full story... (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/gannett-tribune-shareholders/index.html?iid=SF_LN) -- Planning ahead: Tribune has its quarterly earnings call on Wednesday... Expect to hear a lot about the company's stock-boosting strategy... ** Vimeo buying THX ------------------------------------------------------------ Why did Vimeo buy VHX today, seeing as how both companies have tools to help customers sell streaming video subscriptions? Peter Kafka explains: (http://recode.net/2016/05/02/vimeo-vhx-iac-subscription/) "Vimeo CEO Kerry Trainor says VHX’s subscription offering is much more robust than the one he has. So he is picking up the company, its technology and all 22 of its employees..." ** News from BuzzFeed's NewFront ------------------------------------------------------------ The Digital Content NewFronts started today, and BuzzFeed was one of the first to present. A few bits of news: -- AdAge: (http://adage.com/article/special-report-newfronts/buzzfeed-taps-video-talent-make-newfront-presentation-pop/303825/) "BuzzFeed wants to find brand partners to help crack Facebook Live..." -- Quote of the day via president Greg Coleman: "It's been a lot of fun, but our world changes every quarter..." -- Ashley McCollum, who joined BuzzFeed on the P.R. side four years ago, is now the general manager of the food channel Tasty... ** CBS's new plan for weekend newscasts ------------------------------------------------------------ Out: the "CBS Evening News" on the weekends. In: the "CBS Weekend News." The remodeled, less costly Saturday and Sunday newscasts will leverage some of what the CBSN streaming service produces. Also out: Current weekend anchors Jim Axelrod and Jeff Glor. They'll be staying with CBS, "expected to pursue their other duties with the network," Variety's Brian Steinberg reports. (http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/cbs-evening-news-weekend-cbsn-elaine-quijano-reena-ninan-1201764635/) In: "Reena Ninan and Elaine Quijano, will anchor the program on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Both also serve as anchors on CBSN..." Road to 2016 ** One more day of attack ads on Indy TV ------------------------------------------------------------ This time tomorrow, we'll know if Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton emerged victorious in Indiana. Using ProPublica data, (https://projects.propublica.org/itemizer/independent_expenditures/2016/president/in) Patrick Ruffini crunched these #'s (https://twitter.com/PatrickRuffini/status/727307338999300096) showing how $$$'s have been spent in the state's primary race: TV -- $4,630,000 Digital -- $906,000 Mail -- $404,000 Phones -- $390,000 Radio -- $202,000 ** "They want to silence criticism" ------------------------------------------------------------ On yesterday's "Reliable Sources" I interviewed (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/julia-ioffe-interview-trump-trolls/index.html ) Julia Ioffe, the author of a GQ profile of Melania Trump, about how she's been targeted by so-called Trump trolls. She called it "the most obscene anti-Semitic stuff I have frankly ever seen directed at me in my life." The part of the interview I really wanted to highlight in today's followup story was this: (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/julia-ioffe-interview-trump-trolls/index.html ) Ioffe says she is not intimidated by the hateful tweets and messages. "That's what they want to do," she said. "They want to silence criticism. They want to scare reporters from digging further. Our job is to dig." Almost a week after the profile came out, some of the Twitter comments about Ioffe are supportive, but many others are vile and anti-Semitic. Tonight she told me she's trying to avoid them. "They're still pretty ugly. But I have lots of work, so it helps not to be able to be distracted by my mentions!" In the story, I also wanted to note (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/julia-ioffe-interview-trump-trolls/index.html ) some of the other writers and commentators who have been subjected to similar attacks. New York Post op-ed editor Seth Mandel tweeted today that the widespread coverage of harassment against Ioffe "is a bit late: we on the right have been getting it for months..." ** Fifteen days til Kelly-Trump ------------------------------------------------------------ Over the weekend, Variety's (http://variety.com/2016/scene/news/megyn-kelly-donald-trump-fox-primetime-special-questions-1201764407/) Katie Van-Syckle asked (http://variety.com/2016/scene/news/megyn-kelly-donald-trump-fox-primetime-special-questions-1201764407/) a bunch of us to suggest questions for Megyn Kelly to ask Donald Trump. The interview airs on the Fox broadcast network on May 17... 15 days from now... ** Bloomberg staffers, be nice to John tomorrow ------------------------------------------------------------ CNNMoney's Jackie Wattles emails: Bloomberg News EIC John Micklethwait got some bittersweet news today: His favorite soccer team, the Leicester Football Club, beat 5,000-1 odds to capture England’s Premier League title. The kicker is that Micklethwait didn't bet a cent on the team for the first time in 20 years. "Last summer, having moved to New York to work for Bloomberg, I missed making my routine bet...but, somewhere deep down, I assumed it was 20 pounds ($29) saved," he says. (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/leicester-soccer-bet/index.html?iid=hp-stack-dom) Boy was he wrong. His typical bet would have made him 100,000 pounds ($146,730) richer.... (http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/media/leicester-soccer-bet/index.html?iid=hp-stack-dom) ** "Lemonade" #1 on Billboard 200 ------------------------------------------------------------ Beyonce's sixth album, "Lemonade," is her sixth album to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. (http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7350372/beyonce-earns-sixth-no-1-album-on-billboard-200-chart-with-lemonade) (That is an incredible thing to say.) Billboard says (http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7350372/beyonce-earns-sixth-no-1-album-on-billboard-200-chart-with-lemonade) the album had 485,000 album sales and 115 million streams in its very first week.
