California Gov. Gavin Newsom is winning support from top Democrats including Vice President Kamala Harris as he prepares to face a recall election later this year.

Cuomo retreats from open news briefings that made him a star

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has lately shied away from coming face to face with reporters as he faces sexual harassment allegations. The Democratic governor gained national attention last spring for televised news briefings at which he answered barrages of questions from journalists. But the Democrat hasn’t had an in-person news conference since December. That's when he switched to interacting with the media only via telephone and Zoom conference calls. The governor’s sudden refusal to allow reporters to freely question him has rankled media outlets. The governor says it is a needed pandemic safety precaution.

Explainer: What Chicago Boy’s Death Says About Foot Pursuits

Chicago video tests newsroom handling of graphic footage

The release of body camera footage showing a Chicago police officer fatally shooting a 13-year-old was another test for news organizations. The March 29 shooting forced newsrooms to weigh how much graphic material they should show now that video of police confrontations is becoming commonplace. One Chicago digital site offered subscribers a choice to read the story with or without the video. National television outlets took similar approaches. They showed jumpy body camera footage of officer Eric Stillman chasing Adam Toledo and ordering him to drop a gun, followed by Toledo’s empty hands being raised. The video is stopped at the moment of the fatal shot.
