Barcelona Open 2026 tennis order of play and TV coverage

Barcelona Open 2026 tennis order of play and TV coverage

Published by Daniella Wilson

We’ve reached the semi-final stage at the Barcelona Open today (Saturday 18 April) – and there are two somewhat unexpected match-ups to look forward to. British No.1 Cameron Norrie had hoped to make it through to this stage but fell to Spanish teenager Rafael Jódar in his quarter-final tie yesterday. His conqueror is awarded with a tie against Frenchman Arthur Fils who himself managed an impressive win against Italian No.2 seed Lorenzo Musetti. Meanwhile, the first semi-final will see fifth seed Andrey Rublev take on Serbian qualifier Hamad Medjedovic – who will be looking to record another big scalp after seeing off Alex Di Minaur earlier in the week. Holger Rune denied Alcaraz his third successive title last year, beating him in straight sets in the final, but the Dane won’t be back to defend his crown due to injury, while Brit Jack Draper was forced to retire from his first round match due to a knee issue. Clay court season is now in full swing, with the French Open edging closer, and fans can …

Swiss Privacy Goes Global: Proton VPN Grows Coverage to 145 Countries

Swiss Privacy Goes Global: Proton VPN Grows Coverage to 145 Countries

Published by skeptic

Privacy in the digital age is more important than ever, and using a strong VPN can help keep your internet behavior safe from prying eyes. We write a lot about VPNs, and one provider has been making moves over the past two weeks to expand its global coverage.  Proton VPN is the privacy tool in question, and the Swiss-based company’s network, which has the best free VPN option on the market, now spans roughly 20,000 servers across 145 countries — with new server locations in Lebanon, Nicaragua, Gabon, Papua New Guinea, Kyrgyzstan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo — making it the top provider on our best VPN list for worldwide coverage.  VPNs, or virtual private networks, operate by masking your actual IP address with one from a remote server, allowing you to disguise your location and keep your internet activity secure. There are a multitude of ways a VPN can enhance your experience, whether you’re looking to access streaming titles from another country or get around oppressive government firewalls that can block important …

Limited scrutiny of party claims in early Welsh election coverage – new analysis

Limited scrutiny of party claims in early Welsh election coverage – new analysis

Published by Sam Flores

With the Senedd (Welsh parliament) election campaign now under way, voters in Wales are beginning to see more political coverage across television, online and social media. Broadcasters have reported on manifesto launches and party messaging. But how far is this coverage helping voters understand what the parties are actually proposing? And how much of it is being properly scrutinised? After the first official week of the campaign, our new analysis suggests that while broadcasters are reporting party activity, they are offering limited scrutiny of the pledges and promises being made. That matters because news media play a central role in holding politicians to account and helping voters judge the credibility of competing claims. We analysed all election news items across major broadcasters’ TV, online and social media output between April 8 and 14. This included Welsh coverage from the BBC and ITV, alongside their UK-wide output, as well as Channel 4 and Sky News. Broadcasters have also produced special election programming in English and Welsh, from the public asking politicians questions in live TV debates, …

Politico says merger of energy teams has boosted Iran war coverage

Politico deputy editor-in-chief Joe Schatz interviews American Petroleum Institute president Mike Sommers at the Politico Pub in CeraWeek in March 2026. Picture: CatchLight Group for Politico The impact of a major restructure of Politico’s energy and environment reporting teams was “immediately apparent” after the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran, bosses have said. In February the publisher merged its two, previously siloed teams of energy and environment reporters who comprise about a dozen working on Politico Pro Energy and several dozen journalists on E&E News which was acquired by Politico in 2020. Politico told Press Gazette that March was its highest single month for energy and environment consumer page views since at least January 2022, the furthest back it can compare its internal data. It said page views to its energy section were up 142% in Q1 compared to the same period last year. Politico also said the reach of B2B subscriber product Politico Pro Energy, defined as site page views and email opens combined, was up 115% this year so far compared to …

Published by Daniella Wilson

The Masters is one of the tentpole events in the sporting calendar, usually the signal summer is coming and always packed with drama in its own right. Last year’s competition saw Rory McIlroy go all the way to claim his first green jacket at Augusta National. His triumph was watched by a Sky Sports record peak audience of 1.85 million, commanding 37% of total TV viewership late into Sunday evening.

Fox partners with Kalshi to bring prediction markets into news coverage

Fox partners with Kalshi to bring prediction markets into news coverage

Published by skeptic

Fox Corporation is teaming up with Kalshi to weave prediction market data into its news programming. The partnership will bring Kalshi’s real-time forecasts into several Fox News Media outlets, including Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, Fox Weather, and the streaming service Fox One. The company shared the details in an announcement released Tuesday (April 7). Three of the largest news networks are now partnered with Kalshi. Media is coalescing around prediction markets because they’re one of the best tools humanity has for understanding what’s actually happening. https://t.co/9Mz3DEAbVr — Brandon Beckhardt (@bebeckhardt) April 7, 2026 The move seems to reflect a wider change taking hold across the media industry, where probability-based data is starting to sit alongside traditional reporting and analysis. Under the agreement, Fox will use Kalshi’s data to shape coverage of politics, the economy, and cultural developments. The forecasts come from trading activity on Kalshi’s platform, where users buy and sell contracts tied to real-world outcomes. Prices on those contracts are widely interpreted as the market’s collective sense of probability. Bringing Kalshi data …

Rosa María Carranza attends a protest supporting the temporary protected status program outside the Phillip Burton Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in San Francisco on Nov. 18, 2025. Carranza, a resident of neighboring Oakland, worries she could lose her legal status and risk indefinite detention or deportation. Hiram Alejandro Durán/El Tímpano hide caption toggle caption Hiram Alejandro Durán/El Tímpano OAKLAND, Calif. — Rosa María Carranza leaned forward to hold a 3-year-old’s back as the girl climbed a rock in the forested hills of northeast Oakland. Dressed in hiking gear and beaded necklaces, Carranza, 67, maneuvered between trees and children on a sunny morning in December. “Hold onto that branch,” she said in Spanish. “You can do it, my love!” Carranza, a child development professional who grew up swinging through trees and swimming in rivers in El Salvador, said she feels at home in the forest at the outdoor preschool she co-founded. She has worked with children and teens as a caregiver and educator for more than three decades, long enough to know when to lean …

Monte Carlo Masters 2026 tennis order of play and TV coverage

Monte Carlo Masters 2026 tennis order of play and TV coverage

Published by Daniella Wilson

Clay season begins this week at the Monte Carlo Open – with the top players in men’s tennis swapping the American hard courts for Europe’s red dirt. The main draw gets underway at the Monte Carlo Country Club on Monday, and stars are expected in the stands as well as on court as the road to the Roland-Garros really begins. Jannik Sinner has been the dominant force in recent weeks, winning at Indian Wells and the Miami Open to claim his first Sunshine Double without dropping a set. Though Sinner has outshone World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz lately, clay is the Spaniard’s preferred surface, and the World No.1 arrives in Monte Carlo aiming to defend his 2025 crown. Jack Draper joins Novak Djokovic on the absentee list, with the Englishman preferring to focus on working his way back to full fitness after his recent injury, but British No.1 Cam Norrie is part of the singles draw. There is no better way to mark the start of clay season than on the sunny courts of the Monte …

ABC News Artemis II Launch Coverage Includes Cameras In the Spacecraft

ABC News Artemis II Launch Coverage Includes Cameras In the Spacecraft

Published by Daniella Wilson

Later today, NASA will launch its Artemis II mission, sending astronauts back to the moon (albeit on a flyby mission, no landing) for the first time in decades. It’s the sort of news story that has media outlets giddy with excitement. After all, it isn’t often that you get good news and compelling visuals on a pre-determined schedule. And while every TV news outlet is planning coverage of the launch, ABC News and its corporate sibling National Geographic is betting that it can deliver what others cant: Scale on broadcast TV and streaming, and perhaps most significantly: Exclusive access inside the spacecraft itself. ABC says that its coverage of the launch will air on ABC, and stream on ABC News Live, Disney+, and Hulu. But the secret weapon may be National Geographic, which will also have live coverage (as will NASA, of course). NASA and Nat Geo signed a nonreimbursable Space Act Agreement that will bring custom designed cameras and audio equipment from National Geographic into the Orion spacecraft. The media brand, which has a …
