The New York Times’ popular podcast show
“The Daily” is coming out with a new audio series around the House impeachment inquiry against President Trump.
Called “The
Latest,” the podcast will be led by Times congressional editor Julie Hirschfeld Davis, along with analysis from the newspaper’s congressional reporters, politics reporters and
White House correspondents.
The impeachment inquiry into President Trump’s communications with Ukrainian officials has sparked a wave of
newsletters, podcasts, verticals and mobile alerts dedicated to covering the impeachment process, from publishers like The Washington Post, Vox Media, CNN and NPR.

The New
York Times recently launched an impeachment briefing newsletter that contains links to reporting from the NYT, as well as other news outlets.
New episodes of “The
Latest” will be released in the evenings, after the day’s public hearings.
The NYT audio team has also produced podcasts like “Caliphate,”
which focused on Rukmini Callimachi’s reporting on ISIS and, most recently, the “1619” audio series, about the 400th anniversary of the beginning of American slavery.
In September, “The Daily" hit the milestone of 1 billion downloads.
Separately, a day afterQuartz

economy.
Quartz Japan will produce two emails every weekday, including a Japanese translation of the "Quartz Daily Brief" and an afternoon newsletter focused on one
topic each day.
Quartz Japan is a collaboration with Tokyo-based NewsPicks, also owned by Quartz parent company Uzabase. NewsPicks has more
than 100,000 subscribers. Quartz Japan subscribers will also get unlimited access to Quartz membership articles in English.
Quartz has a UK edition. Next, it
will release an edition for readers in India.
Nearly half of Quartz’s audience lives outside the U.S., according to the publisher.
