SUMMARY: The publisher of Sports Illustrated, the Arena Group, is planning to lay off a significant portion of its staff or possibly all of them, after its license to use the iconic brand’s name in print and digital was revoked. Authentic Brands Group has revoked its marketing license, but intends to keep the Sports Illustrated brand going and developing. The layoffs would affect a significant number of NewsGuild workers. Arena Group failed to make a quarterly payment and Authentic has put it on notice that it intends to end the licensing agreement. Sports Illustrated has faced numerous challenges since being acquired by Meredith Publishing in 2018.

Supreme Court denies appeal for man convicted in the 1992 killing of two college students
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Supreme Court has denied Willie Jerome Manning’s appeal against his 1994 death row conviction for the murders of two college students. Manning’s legal team argues that there is new evidence, including witness recantations and a lack of forensic links to the crime. Despite his attorney’s assertion that the court’s ruling disregards this evidence, the majority opinion stated that Manning has already received ample justice. Dissenting justices argued for a hearing to investigate the recantations. Manning’s lawyers have indicated intentions to pursue further legal options.
