9) New York Bulletin
The resident newspaper of the Netflix arm of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the New York Bulletin. Though it primarily features in Daredevil – as the workplace of Ben Urich and later Karen Page – the paper is referenced in Iron Fist, too.
Most notably, Ward Meachum is interviewed by a reporter for the paper, Jennifer Manning, in episode 4. On the way out of the interview, Manning calls up her editor – presumably Mitchell Ellison – and tells him “don’t give the front page to Karen.” This is obviously a reference to the previously mentioned Ms. Page. Later on, Karen gets another namecheck when Danny announces that he’s told her and the Bulletin the story about him closing the Staten Island power plant.
Another returning journalist who appears in Iron Fist is Thembi Wallace of WJBP-TV, who previously gave Mariah Dillard a tough live interview in Luke Cage. Here, she appears in episode 4 to report the news about Danny Rand.
