I want to thank @newscorp for seeing that, with the demise of the Tronc brand, there was an enormous void in the Hilarious News Branding Department.

All you journalists get your cracks in about Knewz now. You’ll be begging it to send you a firehose of traffic in a year!

— Jay Yarow (@jyarow) August 22, 2019

I realize that journalists probably care a lot more about Google News than the average public, but the product has gotten noticeably worse lately and it's great to see its creator back at the company to fix it. https://t.co/5agvnOWpzt
