BotW: Trump bats for the platforms; As Vinyl owns up to a $15.8m loss, can it reinvent its publishing model with AI?

Welcome to a somewhat late edition of Best of the Week, written on a bright, cooooold day in Evandale, Tasmania, after a hectic few days in Sydney including Thursday’s Mumbrella Travel Summit, which was mega.

Incidentally, I learned a lesson this week in always checking that your online booking has actually made it into your Accor app. It’s an interesting challenge finding somewhere to sleep with 35,000 visiting marathon runners in town.

As I say, today’s edition is a bit late – it’s because I only belatedly noticed that the Vinyl Group annual results quietly dropped yesterday afternoon and I couldn’t resist digging into them.

Also today: As Donald Trump goes in to bat for Meta and Google, Australia’s TV companies head for Canberra.
