3. TMZ descends on Washington in a test of whether tabloid tactics can serve the public interest (sunnysidesun.com) — TMZ’s former newsroom in Glendale gets a brief mention in a broader look at how the tabloid is expanding into Washington, D.C. politics.

4. When humans went away, the wildlife strayed (kentucky.com) — Researchers studying animal GPS data and cellphone location records found that wildlife across the U.S. changed how much space they used when people stayed home during the pandemic, including mule deer in Glendale’s Verdugo Mountains. The study suggests even modest limits on human presence in key habitats could significantly benefit animals and points to new, more nuanced ways people and wildlife might coexist.
