Rebecca Traister | Ronan Farrow Depicts a Chilling Cover-Up at NBC
Rebecca Traister, The Cut
Traister writes: "The reveal in Ronan Farrow's Catch and Kill is not that there are corrupt people; it's that corrupt people are in control of our media, politics, and entertainment and that, in fact, many of them remain in control - two years after the mass eruption of stories of harassment and assault that Farrow played a big part in precipitating."

Images Offer Glimpse Into Life of Endangered Florida Panther
Robin McKie, Guardian UK
McKie writes: "Florida panthers once roamed across the south-eastern US. However, by the middle of the last century hunting and habitat loss had reduced their population - now isolated to a pocket of southern Florida - to about 30 to 40 adults."

EXCERPT:
In addition, new roads are being built across the panther’s last reserves and there have been worrying numbers of deaths. About 30 panthers a year are killed on the state’s roads, according to Ward. In addition, ranch lands used by panthers to move around are now being sold to housing estate developers, which threatens to cut off essential wildlife corridors.
Yet panthers play a key role in protecting Florida’s environment, added Ward, who has been studying and photographing these highly endangered carnivores for several years. “For example, they help to control numbers of white-tailed deer, coyotes and hogs, which all cause considerable amounts of ecological damage.”
As result, Ward is campaigning for the preservation of ranch lands in the state and for the construction of more barrier fences and dedicated wildlife crossings. The need for action is urgent, he added.
