New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s office turned a campaign creator list into a City Hall influencer distribution list. A Columbia Journalism Review investigation with the Tow Center for Digital Journalism found that the campaign’s Creators4Zohran network was rebuilt as “NYC Creators Announcements,” a Signal group of about 200 creators run by Emilia Rowland, director of new media and cultural communications.

The Athletic's five-month investigation into former NFL insider Dianna Russini found she violated the outlet's standards by failing to disclose her relationship with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, but stopped short of proving her reporting was tainted.
