AP, New York Times and CNN sue to obtain Orlando shooting records
From Poynter.org -
A coalition of 25 news organizations, including the Orlando Sentinel, The New York Times, CNN and The Associated Press, are jointly suing the City of Orlando over recorded telephone calls and radio transmissions that could shed new light on this month's mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub.
The news outlets are seeking access to more than 600 phone calls made to Orlando first responders and nearly 30 minutes of conversation between shooter Omar Mateen and police negotiators:
" Lawyers for the media outlets argue the records should be released because there is "a strong public interest in fully evaluating how first responders and police reacted during the most critical phases of this incredible tragedy," the lawsuit states.

Facebook Signs Deals With Media Companies, Celebrities for Facebook Live
From WSJ.com -Facebook Inc. has inked contracts with nearly 140 media companies and celebrities to create videos for its nascent live-streaming service, as the social network positions itself to cash in on a lucrative advertising market it has yet to tap-and keep its 1.65 billion monthly users engaged.
The company has agreed to make payments to video creators totaling more than $50 million, according to a document reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. Its partners include established media outfits like CNN and the New York Times; digital publishers like Vox Media, Tastemade, Mashable and the Huffington Post; and celebrities including Kevin Hart, Gordon Ramsay, Deepak Chopra and NFL quarterback Russell Wilson. The arrangements are a way to encourage publishers to produce a steady stream of high-quality videos until Facebook figures out a more concrete plan to compensate creators, such as through sharing of ad revenue.
