What will become of contributed content at TechCrunch now that gatekeeper Walter Thompson has left the publication? Subscribers are asking.
If you represent a company with an AI story to tell, consider pitching a piece to InfoWorld’s Generative AI Insights blog. Edited by IW executive editor Doug Dineley, Generative AI Insights “provides a venue for technology leaders to explore and discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by generative artificial intelligence.”
Gatekeeper Walter Thompson generously spells them out. He asks that you not pitch him directly — use the alias instead.
If you’d like to pitch a contribution to VentureBeat or Quartz at Work, you’ll need to fill out a form to do it. Both publications have eliminated the email dialog that so many PR pros have used over the years to build relationships.

Steve is a longtime friend of SWMS and worked at subscriber LaunchSquad before moving on to IBM, Salesforce and now Anthropic. Steve knows exactly how to harness Claude’s power for comms purposes. Follow him and learn.
Press Gazette has a great story about Google reintroducing AI summaries into search results — less so in queries about breaking news, but definitely when someone searches for trend or how-to info. Convenient for users, maybe… but publishers stand to lose a ton of long-tail traffic because of this. No wonder the vast majority of publisher “innovation” is about commerce or consulting and no longer builds upon journalism.
CNBC Make It had a popular video franchise called My Biggest Lessons, in which CEOs shared something valuable that they learned along the way. No new segments have appeared since May 31. We’ll monitor this for you.
Great reporting from Mark Stenberg at Adweek. Two departures on the sales side seem to have hurt. The story also suggests that former Fortune CEO Alan Murray — who said he was retiring — may turn up at WSJ. Fortune is said to have released Murray from his noncompete, taking his word that he was ending his career.

Ten months ago SWMS spotlighted five up-and-coming Fortune reporters, suggesting that PR get to know these rookies. Where are they now? Jane Thier continues to excel in the Success section. Ruth Umoh now edits Next To Lead. Kylie Robison split for The Verge. Rachyl Jones is a fellow at Semafor. Alexandra Sternlicht this summer won a Knight-Bagehot fellowship at Columbia. Competition for this is brutal — congrats Alexandra!
