This week, ThoseinMedia members share an encounter with small screen legend, Norman Lear, challenges to big tech’s business practices, a journey to the bottom of the ocean, an announcement of the annual NewsTECHForum and more. We also feature an image of the beautiful, yet ill-fated Tropical Centre Pyramid, at the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney, a year before demolition.
“What needs my Shakespeare for his honoured bones,
John Milton, The Complete Poetry
The labor of an age in pilèd stones,
Or that his hallowed relics should be hid
Under a star-y-pointing pyramid?
Dear son of memory, great heir of fame,
What need’st thou such weak witness of thy name?”
Wishing you all a great weekend and a productive week ahead!
