In tonight’s edition, as publishers battle for new ways to establish direct relationships with their readers, The New York Times is embracing the mantra that the best things in life are free. We reveal one of the new tactics the Times is using in an effort to grow its audience and, with that, achieve its ambitious subscriber goal. 

And still at the Times, find out below about the masthead's campaign to “snuff out verbosity and stilted journalistic writing.” 

Plus, former ”60 Minutes” EP Tanya Simon gets a farewell party from a now-former on-air CBS News colleague, and Axel Springer has a new U.S. comms chief.

Finally, we have a bumper edition of Journo (and Comms) Jobs, which now includes Internships. Below we have gigs at CBS News, CNN, NBC, Front Office Sports, New York Times, Washington Post, Axios, and the Daily Beast.
