Status to launch podcast, unveils redesign

“Status,” the media newsletter from Oliver Darcy, plans to launch a podcast in the next month and has rolled out a redesign.

Darcy writes, “Next month, we’re planning to launch the Status podcast, a new way to bring our stories to life. Hosted by Jon and me, the show will take you deeper into the biggest stories in media each week and offer our trademark no-holds-barred analysis. Additionally, Jon will pen a Saturday newsletter, meaning that Status will now hit your inbox six days a week.

“Finally, you may notice that Status looks a bit different today. We’ve refreshed the design of the newsletter and will soon be giving our website a facelift as part of our ongoing commitment to making Status a first-class destination for media coverage.

“We can’t say it enough: We are grateful to our paid subscribers for fueling our journalism, helping us grow, and allowing us to shine a light on the powerful forces shaping the media landscape. At Status, we believe that power deserves scrutiny, and our only allegiance is to you—the reader—because we’re backed by your support, not outside interests.”
