Washington Post TikTok Star Dave Jorgenson Is Going Solo
Dave Jorgenson, who launched The Washington Post's TikTok presence in 2019, has announced he's ... More leaving the paper to start his own media venture. Dave Jorgenson, the face of The Washington Post on the paper's TikTok account and its YouTube channel, is leaving the newspaper after eight years to launch his own video news company — a move that represents both a bet on his personal brand and another blow to a newsroom that's pretty much in a constant state of flux these days. 'Dear Jeff Bezos,' Jorgenson says, addressing the owner of the newspaper, in a voiceover for a minute-long video he posted to YouTube on Tuesday. 'If you're reading this, you already know. I'm leaving The Washington Post and starting my own company." From TikTok star to startup founder Jorgenson, who helped bring the Post into the Gen Z era with his sketch-driven TikToks and short explainers about politics, business, and culture, announced that he's stepping away from the paper to launch Local News International, a new venture that aims to mix news and comedy in the style of Comedy Central's The Daily Show. The idea is to do more of what he made a name for himself for at the Post — meeting audiences where they are, and continuing to do so with wit as well as an editorial voice that feels human. This time, without the cachet (and baggage) of a 147-year-old news institution behind him. 'I think we're well positioned to reach an audience that can't make sense of the current news landscape,' Jorgenson told me when I reached him Tuesday afternoon. 'I'm often reminded — from user comments — that I'm their first source to any given news story. For that reason, I take my news format of being silly but informative very seriously.' Importantly, he's not going to be doing this alone, either. He's bringing two colleagues with him: Micah Gelman, the Post's former head of video (Jorgenson's former boss), and Lauren Saks, his deputy. Both were instrumental in building the Post's digital video presence and are now co-founders at LNI Media, where they'll work on brand partnerships and overall strategy while Jorgenson focuses on content. It goes without saying: This is the latest blow to the Post, where CEO Will Lewis' vision and a sweeping round of buyouts has triggered high-profile departures — including not just Jorgenson, but also WP Ventures head Krissah Thompson. Jorgenson, in fact, described the paper's strategy as basically directionless in an interview with The New York Times, saying, 'I'm just not convinced they have the best road map right now.' That critique comes at a time when the Post is already facing significant challenges — including everything from subscription losses to leadership shakeups and internal friction over editorial priorities. As Pamela Alma Weymouth, granddaughter of the legendary former publisher Katharine Graham, recently wrote in The Nation, 'If The Washington Post goes dark under Bezos, then we lose more than a legend. We lose the very thing that makes America a democracy.' In many ways, Jorgenson has been the most visible avatar of the Post's ongoing modernization for the last several years. As I wrote for Forbes back in 2021, the paper celebrated hitting 1 million TikTok followers at that time, thanks largely to Jorgenson's output that included producing up to 10 TikToks a week combining hard news with absurdist humor. That pacge helped the paper build what, to some observers, felt like a surprising degree of cultural relevance on platforms otherwise dominated by things like influencers and dance trends. Now, he's taking that same ethos to Local News International, where he hopes the audience will follow. 'I'm really excited to work with brands that fit our ethos,' Jorgenson told me. 'Doing this with people I trust — Lauren and Micah — makes that part even more exciting. They can take the wheel there while I focus on the content.' Jorgenson's personal TikTok and YouTube followings are still relatively small – roughly 92,000 and 100,000, respectively – compared to The Washington Post's millions. But his bet is clear: That in a fractured media world, personality, tone, and trust matter more than legacy or even scale.

Toncoin Extends Rally as Telegram Launches Integrated TON Wallet for 87M U.S. Users
Toncoin (TON) extended its impressive rally Monday after Telegram began rolling out its TON Wallet to 87 million users across the United States. The update enables seamless crypto transfers and staking directly within the messaging app's interface — with no need for external downloads, extensions, or logins. The TON Wallet, developed by The Open Platform (TOP) and built on the TON blockchain, allows Telegram users to send and receive stablecoins and other digital tokens as easily as sending a message. According to a CNBC report published Tuesday, this marks the first time a self-custodial wallet has been embedded in a mainstream messaging platform for the U.S. market. TOP CEO Andrew Rogozov said the timing reflects a more favorable regulatory climate. 'We started considering the U.S. as a more interesting opportunity for us,' he told CNBC, adding that Telegram's user growth and crypto-savvy audience helped justify the launch. To simplify the user experience, the TON Wallet employs a split-key recovery model. One part of the backup is linked to the user's Telegram account and the other to their email — removing the need for a seed phrase. 'This is how we simplify the whole thing,' Rogozov said, emphasizing the company's goal to remove friction from crypto onboarding. TON Wallet supports staking, token swaps, zero-fee purchases via MoonPay, and on- and off-ramps using debit cards. It also connects to decentralized apps through Telegram's 'Mini Apps' platform, offering a complete in-app Web3 experience. As of publication, according to CoinDesk Data, TON is trading at $3.4121, up 3% over the past 24 hours. The token has gained 12.2% over the past week and 25.6% over the past month, driven by increased usage, platform integration, and bullish investor sentiment. Technical Analysis Highlights According to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data., TON rallied strongly during the 23-hour trading window from July 21 18:00 UTC to July 22 17:00 UTC, climbing from $3.25 to $3.58 and delivering a 10.15% intraday surge at 13:00 UTC on July 22, supported by 46.32 million units of trading volume The token broke decisively above key resistance near $3.34, expanding its trading range by $0.38 — or 11.84% — as momentum accelerated. In the final hour from 16:39 to 17:38 UTC on July 22, TON dropped from $3.53 to $3.44, shedding 2.54% amid weakening volume and forming lower peaks that signaled a short-term pullback despite strong overall bullish structure.

Telegram's crypto wallet goes live to its 87 million U.S. users
Telegram users in the U.S. can now send, receive, and manage cryptocurrency directly inside the app — no downloads, extensions, or separate logins required. TON Wallet is built into Telegram's interface and is beginning its U.S. rollout this week. It is a self-custodial crypto wallet in which a user controls their own private keys. The service, developed by The Open Platform, which is known as TOP, and built on the TON blockchain, allows users to send stablecoins and other digital tokens to their contacts as easily as sending a message. The company says it's the first time a self-custodial crypto wallet has been embedded into a mainstream messaging platform in the U.S. market. The wallet has already seen broad international adoption, with more than 100 million users globally having activated their wallets in 2024. The U.S. launch had been delayed amid regulatory uncertainty. Andrew Rogozov, CEO of TOP, said that began to shift over the past year. "We started considering the U.S. as a more interesting opportunity for us," Rogozov told CNBC, citing a shift in regulatory conditions and Telegram's user growth. He said there are a lot of crypto users on the platform, and described the wallet as "the fundamental part of this infrastructure," giving users a way to store assets and interact with Telegram's growing ecosystem of Mini Apps. "Our goal, our mission here, is to remove as much friction as possible," Rogozov said. "And this is basically what crypto is trying to solve, especially at the global scale, by removing all the borders." A split-key backup system — one part tied to the user's Telegram account and another to their email — allows for self-custody while simplifying onboarding. "No need to download the wallet, no need to remember the seed phrase," he added. "This is how we simplify the whole thing." TON Wallet supports peer-to-peer transfers, swaps between tokens, staking to earn yield, and zero-fee crypto purchases through a partnership with MoonPay. It also provides on- and off-ramps via debit cards and connects to decentralized apps inside Telegram's "Mini Apps." Telegram formally distanced itself from the TON blockchain after abandoning its own crypto token effort in 2020 under SEC pressure. In the years since, it has continued to integrate TON-based features such as tokenized usernames, stickers, and emojis, and has publicly supported Fragment, a collectibles marketplace built on TON. TON Wallet's expansion into the U.S. could increase competition for platforms like Cash App and Coinbase, particularly if Telegram's crypto-enabled ecosystem gains traction with mainstream users. For now, the wallet avoids directly offering regulated financial services, instead partnering with licensed providers like MoonPay for on- and off-ramps.
