Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Trump bows out of the next GOP debate, the woman behind #OscarsSoWhite responds to the Academy’s plans for reform, and an 11-year-old is my new hero. Enjoy your Wednesday.
EVERYONE'S TALKING
• A Trump tantrum. Donald Trump's campaign manager announced that Trump will "definitely not" participate in Thursday's Fox News primary debate. The news comes in the midst of a fight the candidate is having with the network over host Megyn Kelly, who Trump believes is biased against him and wants barred from hosting the debate. Fortune

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
