For my older daughter's entire life, I've talked about "Huntley-Brinkley'ing" acquisition briefings, and I just found out last night that she had no idea what I meant. Funny how time rolls on, and new terminology pops up, and old terminology dies out and you don't realize it. Pop culture is like a private, unspoken language.
I first started using the term when I was an intern and all the acquisition experts were older than I was and had been present for the Huntley-Brinkley news-team from 1956 to 1970. I knew who they were because I was in elementary school during their last episode, and watching the nightly news was a big deal in our house when I was a child, especially because my big brothers were draft-age and their friends weren't coming home from Vietnam. (Let me know if I need to explain the concern.) Those were the days of Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley, and David Brinkley.
Huntley and Brinkley were dual anchors, said goodnight to each other at the end of the show, and just ... CLASSY ... presenters. They were great role models for why I, ten years later, declared a journalism major, about a year before the beginning of 24-hours news and an opinion-based, advertising-based journalism model. For laughs, I'm linking their last episode, which shows their rival at CBS saying goodbye to the NBC team (the 2 big networks then, and 2 of maybe 3 channels you could get on your newfangled color TVs that weighed 500 pounds).
So when you hear a boomer or older GenXer talking about Huntley-Brinkley'ing an acquisition briefing, they simply mean they're going to trade-off parts of the briefing with a PM, Contracting Officer, etc, in a very classy and informed way.

Imagine one of the most influential political moves of the year happening not on a major news network, but on a video game streaming channel.
Sound absurd?
Think again.
Donald Trump just took his campaign to Kick, a platform known for unfiltered gaming streams, and racked up over half a million live viewers. But the real kicker? The mastermind behind this move was his 18-year-old son, Barron.
This isn't just a quirky moment in political history; it's a glimpse into the future of influence. Traditional media is losing its grip, and digital platforms like YouTube and Kick are the new battlegrounds. Trump’s stream with Adin Ross wasn’t just a broadcast—it was a masterclass in how to leverage digital media to reach a generation that lives online.
If you’re still clinging to old strategies, you’re not just missing the boat—you’re already sinking. In an era where authenticity trumps polish, and real-time engagement beats pre-packaged messaging, this move is a blueprint for how to connect with today’s audiences.
