A lot of people really like craft beer. But, how many people love it enough to do a crazy 40 Day/40 Pennsylvania Craft Brewery Tour? Most of us enjoy a morning cup of coffee, but how about at 4500 feet in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, off the tourist path? Yes, that would be me.

Writing about both passions, craft beer and specialty coffee, have resulted in my essays being published in national media venues recently. My article about craft beer becomes a treatise on a theology of work. My writing about coffee in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica becomes a piece about a cool place and a kind people and leaving the comfort zone.

Write What You Love

The author Ray Bradbury wrote wisely, “Write only what you love and love what you write.” Because I can afford to pick and choose my subjects, a big part of me finding writing momentum in the last couple of years has been to go deep about what I love and then write about it. Simple advice, but it has made all the difference. I work as a school counselor by day at a high school. Two of my colleagues are also published writers. One writes about fishing and waterways. The other pens science fictions novels. We have all found our niche because we first found our loves.

A niche is an ecological term where a species finds a place in creation to not just survive but thrive. The origin of the word comes from French/Latin word for nest. In our frenetic multi-firework display 21st-century media landscape, it is a challenge to attract and engage readers. We are like hummingbirds with ADD, sound biting our way through the day and night, flitting and fleeting.

Love What You Write

How to get readers to land and settle down in your metaphorical nest? A sustainable strategy is to cultivate a high level of expertise and enthusiasm for subjects that others find intriguing but doing it in a unique and unusual style all your own. Herman Melville wrote, “It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.” If you are only going to copy someone else’s style and subjects, such “success” is shallow and unsatisfying in the end.

What is your Unique Writing Proposition (U.W.P.)? What do you think about, spend your money on, or fill your time with? That is what you love.

Here are the interests that I have put into my nest: a love of people and culture expressed through food, drink and travel; a high degree of research and writing chops honed through earning a Ph.D. about adolescent cognitive and emotional development and the college transition (and wrote a book about it); a smidgen of snarkiness tempered by self-deprecation, with a foundation of sincerity in wanting to make the world a better place; a theological and philosophical framework undergirding it all that differentiates me from others; and a sense of humor. That’s my U.W.P.

What’s yours?

U.S. Veterans and Lung Cancer Benefits: What You Need to Know for 2026

By Media News

U.S. veterans facing lung cancer must understand that there’s still time to file for crucial benefits, and help is available to make the most of a claim

CHESTNUT HILL, MA / ACCESS Newswire / March 19, 2026 / U.S. veterans who developed lung cancer after exposure to toxic substances during military service have more ways than ever to pursue crucial benefits offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as provisions tied to recent federal legislation continue to roll out.

Expanded protections under laws such as the Honoring Our PACT Act have greatly broadened eligibility for veterans suffering from illnesses linked to toxic exposure, such as lung cancer.

While cigarette and tobacco smoke are a common cause of lung cancer, asbestos, burn pits, and other harmful chemicals also could contribute to a diagnosis. U.S. veterans must remain aware of this if they’re newly diagnosed.

"Many veterans risked exposure to cancer-causing substances during deployments without knowing the long-term health risks," said Sam Timpe, a representative from Lung Cancer Group, a national organization supporting families affected by lung cancer. "Seeking help from VA-accredited agents is crucial to proving the need for these benefits."

The PACT Act, signed into law in 2022, marked one of the most significant expansions of veteran health care and disability benefits in decades. The legislation created new presumptive conditions tied to toxic exposures, including several respiratory diseases and cancers.

For U.S. veterans with lung cancer, the act allows them to pursue:

  • VA disability benefits

  • Expanded VA health care coverage

  • Survivor benefits for families

  • Retroactive compensation in certain cases

U.S. veterans who served in regions where burn pits and airborne toxins were common may now qualify for lung cancer VA benefits, even if their claim was previously denied.

This is crucial to understand because active lung cancer could be considered a 100% disability, allowing veterans to maximize their monthly disability payouts and reduce their health care bills if they get VA cancer care.

In addition, veterans diagnosed with lung cancer in recent years may now qualify under new presumptive condition rules that were not previously available when they first sought benefits.

"Some U.S. veterans assume that if their claim was denied years ago, nothing can change," Timpe explained. "But expanded federal legislation means many cases deserve to be revisited."

Health advocacy organizations say education remains one of the biggest challenges to helping U.S. veterans with service-related lung cancer, with many not realizing they may now qualify for benefits.

Public awareness campaigns running through 2026 will help veterans learn:

  • How toxic exposure may relate to lung cancer diagnoses

  • When filing deadlines could impact eligibility

  • Which federal programs may now apply to them

Advocates encourage veterans experiencing symptoms or those previously diagnosed with lung cancer to review their options under current federal law.

U.S. veterans and families seeking more information about lung cancer and potential benefits can learn more by visiting Lung Cancer Group’s official website.

The site helps veterans and civilians understand how exposure to asbestos and other toxins causes asbestos, treatment options, and ways to seek benefits and compensation.

Media’s Post-AI Split Has a Name: The Relationship Economy

Bruno Patino has a name for what comes next. At CPH:SUMMIT in Copenhagen, the Arte president outlined what he calls a “relationship economy,” a framework in which media companies survive AI disruption through structural coalitions rather than technological arms races.

His remarks at the documentary summit, delivered under the banner “Media Sovereignty: Rethink, Envision, Redefine,” are the clearest articulation yet of a strategy European public broadcasters have been building toward for years while their commercial counterparts chase scale.

The speech gives language to a split happening across global media. One camp is consolidating platforms and verticalizing content delivery. The other is building horizontal alliances that pool resources without merging operations.

Amazon’s latest announcements, modest on their own but revealing in aggregate, show what the consolidation path looks like when executed with precision. And the death of Kiki Shepard, co-host of “Showtime at the Apollo” for 15 years, is a reminder of what gets preserved and what gets forgotten when business models shift.

Coalition as Business Model

Patino’s framing is sharper than typical summit rhetoric. A “relationship economy,” in his formulation, means treating partnerships as primary infrastructure rather than opportunistic deals.

Arte, the Franco-German public broadcaster, has spent the past decade building exactly this: co-production agreements with Nordic broadcasters, shared commissioning frameworks, distribution partnerships that treat content as a collective resource rather than a proprietary asset. The bet is that AI will commoditize production at the lower and middle tiers, making pooled editorial judgment and audience trust more valuable than raw output volume.

Key Takeaway: Patino’s coalition strategy requires patience, shared governance, and willingness to subordinate individual institutional advantage to collective sustainability. None of those qualities get rewarded in quarterly earnings cycles.

The tension is structural. European public media can pursue this path because public funding insulates them from immediate commercial pressure. Whether any commercial player follows remains genuinely open.

Amazon’s Content Flywheel, Two Continents at Once

Amazon is building the consolidation alternative with characteristic method. Prime Video India announced a comedy feature partnership with HRX Films, the production banner owned by Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan.

“Mess,” directed by Rajesh A. Krishnan, is the second collaboration between Prime Video and HRX Films after the previously announced thriller series “Storm.” Neither project is a tentpole in the Western sense. They signal Prime Video’s continued investment in regionally specific content that locks Indian subscribers into the ecosystem.

On the same day, Audible announced a companion podcast for “LOL: Last One Laughing,” the Prime Video UK comedy competition series. Hosted by series participant Roisin Conaty, the podcast extends the show’s reach across Amazon’s audio platform and creates a content loop: Prime Video drives Audible listenership, Audible reinforces Prime Video engagement, both feed subscriber retention.

The Pattern: Amazon is systematically wiring its content platforms together across geographies and formats. A subscriber who watches Prime Video India comedies, listens to Audible UK companion podcasts, and shops on Amazon.in has three friction points to cancellation instead of one.

This is the inverse of Patino’s coalition model. Where Arte builds horizontal partnerships to share risk and preserve editorial independence, Amazon builds vertical integration to consolidate audience relationships and eliminate switching.

Both strategies acknowledge the same underlying pressure: AI-driven commoditization makes owning direct audience relationships more valuable than owning production capacity. They’ve chosen opposite structural responses.

Kiki Shepard, 1951-2026

Kiki Shepard died Monday from a heart attack at 74. Variety reports she co-hosted “Showtime at the Apollo” from 1987 to 2002, working alongside a rotating cast of emcees that included Steve Harvey and Sinbad.

The syndicated variety show, filmed at Harlem’s Apollo Theater, gave Shepard a platform that virtually no other Black woman held in syndicated television during that 15-year run.

“Showtime at the Apollo” operated in the syndication economy that predated streaming consolidation, when local stations programmed weekend variety shows to fill time blocks. That ecosystem is gone. The show survived as a brand, cycling through network homes and format iterations, but the specific role Shepard occupied (hosting a nationally syndicated variety program week after week for over a decade) no longer exists in television’s current structure.

Deadline confirmed her death through her representative. She held that hosting role longer than most of her emcee partners, providing continuity to a show that celebrated amateur talent and Black musical tradition in a media landscape that offered few comparable platforms.

What This Means

The Patino speech and the Amazon announcements represent the strategic fork. Media companies with patient capital and mission-driven mandates can pursue coalition models that preserve editorial diversity. Media companies optimizing for subscriber retention will pursue vertical integration that treats content as connective tissue between services.

Both paths are rational. They produce fundamentally different media ecosystems.

For professionals navigating this split, the implications are tactical. Coalition-focused organizations (public broadcasters, mission-driven nonprofits, some independent studios) will prize collaborative capacity and multi-stakeholder project management. Platform-focused organizations (Amazon, Netflix, Disney) will prize cross-format thinking and ecosystem integration skills.

The middle ground is shrinking. Traditional media companies that can’t commit to either path will continue to struggle for strategic clarity.

If you’re looking to position yourself in this landscape, browse open roles on Mediabistro focused on content strategy and platform integration. If your organization is building for either the relationship economy or the consolidation path, post a job on Mediabistro to find professionals who understand which game you’re playing.
