Good evening, and welcome back to In The Room. I’m en route to Cambridge for the Harvard Shorenstein Center’s annual fall gathering, where I’ll be joining Puck’s very own Peter Hamby and others for a panel on media and the 2024 election. In tonight’s email, new intel on a Washington Post C.E.O. finalist, the Fred Ryan clean-up job, and a little CNN color.
