The New Stack (TNS) is accepting contributed posts again. During a months-long hiatus, editors rethought their priorities, and consulted Google Analytics to understand what had resonated.

Does TechTarget accept contributed content? The one-word answer is yes — but it’s a bit more complicated than that.
You won’t see better contributed content than this piece posted last month on VentureBeat. Written by Gusto CTO and co-founder Eddie Kim, the piece is true thought leadership. It plants the flag and, even better, busts a myth.

FRIDGE NOTES
Biz now covers “the intersection of money and Silicon Valley” for the Bloomberg Wealth section (not Brad Stone‘s team).
Twitter blew up yesterday about the WSJ’s suggestion that SVB’s problems may have stemmed from “diversity demands.” Absolutely no one should be surprised by this claim. News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch recently installed Emma Tucker as EIC, a Murdoch loyalist brought in to lead WSJ’s coverage of the 2024 elections. Says The Guardian: “Tucker will find herself having to work out how to cover a third presidential run by Donald Trump. Murdoch has… cooled on the former president and is warming to Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida who is expected to challenge Trump for the Republican nomination.”
So prepare for an onslaught of woke this and woke that from the WSJ, a publication that isn’t what it used to be, no matter how much we wish it otherwise.
Sean Michael Kerner now writes for SdXCentral… watch for his copy soon.
Owner Axel Springer must be nervous. Not a good signal from one the world’s most successful publishers. We’ll do the best we can to audit who left. Axios’s Sara Fischer broke the story.
Folks are losing their minds. It’ll come back but it won’t be free, that’s for sure.
The Verge’s Mia Sato delivers a scoop on layoffs at CNET (perhaps 10% of staff) and Connie Guglielmo‘s move from EIC to editor-at-large and senior VP of AI content strategy. (Coincidentally, Digiday today ran this story on the rise of the “chief AI officer” — sub required.)
CNET is owned by Red Ventures, which calls itself a media company, but it’s more like a shell company owned by multiple private-equity firms. CNET and ZDNet editors never unionized, which now they probably regret.
