Sherwood News

Not sure why I didn’t link it at the time, but Josh Topolsky dropped a link on Threads announcing his new financially focused site. The venture was originally announced back in January 2023 with a drumbeat of news in Ben Smith’s media newsletter in Semafor.

I’ll be curious to see how this one goes. Visually, it has very strong echoes of Gawker and The Outline, but with the added richness of data visualizations like Datawrapper and Chartr, which Sherwood Media smartly acquired late last year.

Disclosure: Josh and I used to work together at BDG, where we launched and redesigned several sites including Input and Gawker, may they rest in peace.
