At the end of last week, BuzzFeed News shut up shop – cue reflection about where news outlets and audiences are at… The article we found most illuminating was from Ben Smith, the platform’s founding editor-in-chief. If you’re interested in the future of news, it’s a great read.

Our Mary (aka Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark) jets into Sydney today for a quick visit following a solo tour of the Pacific.
