The crew chats with Brian Morrissey, author of The Rebooting newsletter and former editor-in-chief of Digiday. He gives us his take on how the “Drip Pope”—the AI-generated image of Pope Francis that went viral recently—and “high-visibility, execution-dependent disruptor news brand” The Hundred, a media company pitched in HBO’s Succession, offer a frighteningly accurate glimpse into the current landscape of media and publishing.
