Description: In the news this week, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar one-ups himself, allocating $100 million to fund investigative journalism, and the fight against hate speech and misinformation. A Pew Research study finds one area of agreement among Americans: they think the Trump-media feud is unhealthy and blocking access to important political news. And Amazon pays an eye-popping $50 million for streaming rights to 10 Thursday Night Football games this year -- will they get their money’s worth? Our Metric of the Week is Total Engaged Time, and we speak with Hearst Media’s Emma Dibdin about “S-Town,” the smash hit podcast by the makers of “Serial.”
