** Orlando Massacre
------------------------------------------------------------
The wife of Orlando nightclub gunman Omar Mateen drove with him to the dance club on at least one occasion before Sunday’s mass shooting, a law enforcement official said, as the
Orlando Sentinel reports (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/pulse-orlando-nightclub-shooting/os-orlando-shooting-omar-mateen-lucie-20160614-story.html) .

The Sentinel’s Skyler Swisher reports (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/pulse-orlando-nightclub-shooting/fl-orlando-shooter-classmates-20160614-story.html) that Mateen appeared happy years ago when he learned of the September 11, 2001 attacks, according to two of his high school classmates.

And, the FBI is looking at whether the Orlando gunman had a secret gay life, as the AP’s Jason Dearen and Terrance Harris report (http://wtop.com/national/2016/06/orlando-mourns-as-possible-motives-emerge-for-club-gunman/) .

Dive Deeper: New America vice president Peter Bergen today had an op-ed in the New York Times: “Why Do Terrorists Commit Terrorism (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/15/opinion/why-do-terrorists-commit-terrorism.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=opinion-c-col-left-region&region=opinion-c-col-left-region&WT.nav=opinion-c-col-left-region&_r=0) ?”

** Another Attack in Paris
------------------------------------------------------------
A man who pledged allegiance to ISIS killed a police captain and his companion in a Paris suburb, a slaying officials suspect was sparked by the extremist group’s calls for followers in the West to carry out attacks, as the
Wall Street Journal’s Inti Landauro and Matthew Dalton report (http://www.wsj.com/articles/french-police-couple-murdered-at-home-in-terrorist-attack-1465890512) .

And, as the Economist reports (http://www.economist.com/news/europe/21700578-wounded-country-high-alert-struck-again-france-suffers-yet-another-terrorist-attack) , “high alert” is the new normal in France.

** The News about the News
------------------------------------------------------------
Today, CSIS and the Bob Schieffer College of Communication at TCU launched “State of Journalism,” a year-long series of podcast interviews with leaders across the communications landscape hosted by CSIS trustee and CBS’s Bob Schieffer (with me tagging along for the ride).

Over the next year we’ll hold weekly conversations about journalism and its impact on politics and policy with leaders from legacy media organizations, digitally native news platforms, social media companies, and other top thought leaders.

The first “State of Journalism” podcast episodes are with Morning Joe hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron, CBS News president David Rhodes, and BuzzFeed editor in chief Ben Smith. They are available on iTunes (https://itun.es/us/VYgadb.c)  and on the CSIS website (https://www.csis.org/podcasts/state-journalism) .

“The American people have access to more information than any people in history,” said Bob Schieffer. “But are we more informed or just overwhelmed with so much information we can’t process it? That’s what we’ll try to understand as we explore the communications landscape over the next year.”

** One to Watch

Jonathan Landay covers national security for Reuters. Today he co-authored an exclusive with David Brunnstrom, “North Korea may be 'significantly' upping nuclear bomb output – report (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-nuclear-report-idUSKCN0Z02A4) .” Landay previously served as the senior national security and intelligence correspondent at McClatchy. Landay’s reputation for quality journalism was secured ahead of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, an issue for which his reporting—and that of his Knight-Ridder colleague Warren Strobel—was a cut above the rest.
