Facebookmageddon? Not so soonBuzzMachine29 Jun 2016 | 12:59 pmOnly time, experience, and data will tell, but I wouldn't be throwing out Facebook strategies for news quite yet. Two things happened today: (1) Facebook for the first time outlined the principles that govern its decisions — that is, its News Feed algorithm — about what to select and show you. (2) At the same time, Facebook tweaked — we don't know how much — that algorithm to emphasize friends and family more and news less.

Stringr Provides Newspaper Partners with Custom Video, Archival FootageEditor & Publisher1 Jul 2016 | 12:00 amAs demand for video grows, it can be a challenge to capture footage of every event. But with Stringr, publishers now have the option to obtain top-notch video from nearly every corner of the United States.

'Kicking and screaming': 50 years of FOIA1 Jul 2016 | 4:50 amThe Freedom of Information Act turns 50 on July 4. This is cause for celebration--and not just because President Obama signed a significant FOIA reform bill to mark the occasion (and atone in some small way for his abysmal FOIA record). No, we should pause for FOIA's birthday because every FOIA requester, whether they realize it or not, takes part...
Expect some 911 recordings from the Orlando massacre to be released--but it's not clear when30 Jun 2016 | 2:11 pmFlorida's public records law is strong, and 911 recordings are usually released quickly. So why have two dozen media organizations been tied up in court for the past week in an effort to obtain 911 and other phone recordings related to the June 12 mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando? The short answer is that the city has claimed...
Can narrative journalism overcome the political divide?30 Jun 2016 | 10:20 amwould trust anything written on Breitbart, and every self-respecting conservative knows that The New York Times is a liberal rag controlled by people with New York values.

Today's events at the company could definitely be seen that way. First, the company went through some layoffs. Reports say that between 30 and 40 positions were eliminated. The second bit of news is that Newsweek is being spun-off. The weekly magazine has gone through the last few years. Owned by The Washington Post Co. for years, it was sold in 2010 to audio pioneer Sidney Harman who merged it into a group with The Daily Beast....

Getting Google and Publishers to Share Love — and Data9 Jun 2016 | 5:42 amThis last week, in three high-level publisher summits in Europe, I saw tangible progress toward realizing what I think is the most important single opportunity that publishers and platforms have together: sharing data to benefit first our users and then our businesses. For years, I have been arguing to publishers — including those warring with Silicon Valley — that what they should seek from the platforms is not cash (that isn't "our money" the platforms are earning) or raw traffic (look at how the pursuit of reach über alles has ruined journalism) or throttling technology companies through government intervention (new copyright laws and antitrust investigations are not investable...
Meeting and Exceeding the News Business' Hiring Needs23 Apr 2016 | 12:33 pmAt CUNY's Tow-Knight Center, we just published a lengthy report on the job needs of the news business today, based on surveys, interviews, and analysis of employment ads. It reveals much about the new jobs and entirely new skills and combinations of skills—journalistic superpowers, we call them — that news organizations need and want. It also reveals where — in my opinion — the news business still needs more innovation. Below, I'll concentrate on that because it's my job in a university to worry about what's coming next, so in our Center we can help the industry shift strategy — exploring new business models and forms of news — and so in the classroom we can prepare...
The First Amendment and a couple of pricks18 Mar 2016 | 6:15 pmIf the First Amendment does not protect offensive speech, it protects no one. Gawker is nothing if not reliably offensive, noxious, and cruel. Nonetheless, it deserves the defense the Bill of Rights affords. Gawker lost that protection in the judgment Hulk Hogan won against it. I fear this is the First Amendment as Donald Trump would interpret it: "I'm going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money." 115 million moneys, to be exact. My greatest disappointment in this case is Gawker proprietor Nick Denton himself. Some disclosure is warranted: I served on the board of Denton's prior company, Moreover. Nick...
STOP THE PRESSES! The Independent is Dead. Long Live the Independent.14 Feb 2016 | 8:06 amI will sound like a native of some isolated tribe where death is celebrated — and I might well be accused of dancing on print's grave — but I think it is wonderful news that London's Independent is turning off its presses … yet living on. On Facebook and Twitter, this news brought the predictable wailing and beating of breasts from journos and print moguls: how sad, how scary, they cry. But not from me. I'm happy for the Independent and for the example it can bring to others. At last, a newspaper has slipped the surly bonds of earth and can fly free online. There is life after the death of print. Hallelujah! For more than a decade, I've been imploring newspaper people to set a date in...

Media Clans Remain Among America's Richest Families30 Jun 2016 | 11:30 amDespite volatility in the media industry, families who made their fortunes in publishing, cable and radio, held their own in 2016 — and some even prospered. According to Forbes' America's Richest Families list, the Waltons of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., were once again on top with an estimated net worth of $130 billion. But the family's worth dropped 12.8 percent from $149 billion in 2015.

In short order Thursday, The Sunderland Echo fired off the following three ripostes: – "Sunderland Hits Back to New York Times 'Slur' Article" – "12 Things You Wanted to Tell The New York Times After Sunderland 'Slur'" – "Give Us an Apology, New York Times – Sunderland Echo's Message After 'Irresponsible' Article" The first piece demands an apology from the paper and invites reporter Kimiko de Freytas-Tamura to return for a second, more complete...
Child Reporter Hilde Lysiak Adds a Book Deal30 Jun 2016 | 9:00 pmThe story of Hilde Lysiak, a Pennsylvania nine-year-old who made headlines earlier this year with her efforts as a self-starting newspaper reporter and editor, just keeps getting better. On Thursday, Scholastic announced that it has signed the precocious youngster and her father, journalist Matthew Lysiak, to write a series of four children's books for its Branches category. The first, titled Hilde Cracks the Case, is scheduled to arrive in the fall of 2017. Each book will be inspired by an actual news story that Lysiak has covered.

Laid Off IBT Media Employees Tweet Their Poignant Farewells30 Jun 2016 | 2:30 pmThe news broke around 3 p.m. this afternoon, via reports by Recode and Politico Media. A press release from IBT Media followed shortly thereafter, which states that 'the overall restructuring plan includes some staff downsizing.' That's putting it mildly. The number of International Business Times employees affected is in the dozens, with Recode's Noah Kulwin reporting that separate Newsweek layoffs will be revealed Friday. The resulting Twitter stream is the last thing anyone wishes to be reading on the cusp of summer's first big holiday weekend.

Gannett Buys ReachLocal to Anchor its Digital Business27 Jun 2016 | 3:50 pmGannett announced today that it will buy ReachLocal, giving it a more solid anchor for selling digital marketing solutions to national brands targeting locally, as well as SMBs. The deal, at $4.60 per share, values Reach at $156 million – 188 percent above its closing price on Friday. Reach's annual revenue of $320 Million will more than double Gannett's digital business. Gannett's acquisition follows on the heels of Web.com's acquisition of Yodle in February. It represents the end of a bold vision – shared with WebVisible, LocalLaunch, Weblistic, SpotRunner and others — of a local ecosystem dominated less by channel (i.e. Yellow Pages) than by a neutral sales force providing efficient...
LocalOnliner Bookshelf: The 2016 Innovation Mission Report Focuses on 'Culture'21 Jun 2016 | 3:51 pmThe local media companies have been shrinking and becoming increasingly irrelevant. Yet, they drive on as business entities, raising their circulation prices and reducing their days of operation to cover ad shortfalls. (I mostly stopped writing about traditional local media companies several years ago.) Can they work towards becoming relevant again? Outside of companies that have major investments being poured into them (i.e. Jeff Bezos' wonderfully regenerated Washington Post), it is hard to see that they'll have a lot of money for re-dos. But money hasn't been everything. While the Ubers of the world raise billions of dollars to carve out and defend a niche, money wasn't really much of a...
The Evolution of Content Farms (and New Ways to 'Feed to Beast')15 Jun 2016 | 5:16 pm"Content farms" like Demand Media, Associated Content, Examiner.com and Merchant Circle were once the big bet for filling out blogs. They'd "feed the beast." Most of the content, however, turned out to be overly-generic and unenlightening. Sites that focused on verticals and required specialization were especially out of luck. But there's light at the end of the tunnel. In recent months, things have evolved quickly. Here's what we are seeing: 1. Nozzl provides continuously streamed articles on specific subjects via a "player" on your website. Nozzl, launched by vets of Portland's Oregonian, is inexpensively priced at $5.99 per month. 2. Quintype, a free alternative to WordPress, makes content...
SFSW16: Loyalty Must Emulate 'Cheers,' Not 'Minority Report'9 Jun 2016 | 4:03 pmLoyalty products ride the crest of big data. They drive engagement and upsells based on customer behavior, and provide the analytics to steer future marketing efforts. But for SMBs, they are also an extra marketing expense and their value is still being established. After five years or more in the market, we'd conservatively estimate there are fewer than 80,000 SMBs using electronic loyalty products today. Speaking at SFSW16 in San Francisco this week, FiveStars CEO Victor Ho, Belly CEO Logan LaHive and Empyr CEO Jon Carder weighed in on the value proposition and provided a progress report. Ho noted that loyalty is just one components of a broader customer engagement suite that is being offered...

Google knows what you did last summer: how to use the My Activity page to make it forget1 Jul 2016 | 3:26 amGoogle knows what I was reading last summer If you use an Android phone, the Chrome browser, or even just YouTube, you may at some point have been surprised by how much Google knows about you. If you haven't, take a look at Google's new My Activity feature. Rolled out this week, the feature allows you to see the videos Google knows you've watched; the searches you've typed in ( and 'sound search' too); the images you've looked for – and which ones you viewed; video search. You may be able to guess what I was thinking of getting the kids for Christmas in 2013 But it's not just search: the tool also shows the map locations you've selected (and trips if you use that app); the items you've shopped...
Journalists learning how to code is just journalists learning how to publish29 Jun 2016 | 10:34 pmRecently I read some feedback about a book proposal. The proposal included some chapters on coding for journalists, which prompted one of the reviewers to write: "I think coding is moving [students] away from the core role of journalism — which is content creation not platform creation" The debate about coding for journalists has been rumbling for some time now, and my own opinion on the issue has changed over that time. The attitude embodied in that quote is not uncommon among journalism lecturers — but the quote above has helped me realise something that, for me at least, strengthens the 'journalists should code' argument. Let me rephrase it to show how: "I think publishing is moving [students] away...
Cartogram or election map? The Guardian vs The New York Times28 Jun 2016 | 1:13 pmA cartogram represents geography diagrammatically. Note above for example that London takes up more space than parts of Wales because it has much denser population The New York Times didn't use a cartogram for its EU referendum map, Gregor Aisch explained last week, because they are "too confusing for readers unfamiliar with the geography".

Don't blame Facebook for your own filter bubble28 Jun 2016 | 9:12 amAs the UK worked through the aftermath of the vote to leave the European Union, Tom Steinberg found himself frustrated. "I am actively searching through Facebook for people celebrating the Brexit leave victory," he wrote. But to no avail. He called on his friends in the technology industry to act on this 'echo-chamber problem'.

BBC's Newsnight creates instant 24 hour #EUref news channel using Facebook Live24 Jun 2016 | 4:19 amIt's basically a 24 hour #euref channel using Facebook Live #fblive https://t.co/Mp2IAZyo5W — Paul Bradshaw (@paulbradshaw) June 24, 2016 For 45 minutes every weekday night the BBC airs its current affairs program Newsnight. Today, however, the UK needs a little more than 45 minutes to get its head around 'events'. And so, the day that the UK voted to leave the European Union, Newsnight is using Facebook Live to essentially run its own 24 hour TV channel. Beginning with Chris Cook as the UK woke to the result, through to Evan Davis as the day ends, it's a sign of how a news programme can work around the limitations of broadcast.

Paul Dacre plays Tory kingmaker by supporting Theresa May1 Jul 2016 | 5:25 amDaily Mail editor throws his paper's weight behind home secretary to become Tory leader and, of course, prime ministerTheresa May has won the backing of Britain's most politically influential tabloid in the Conservative leadership race. The Daily Mail published a long endorsement and favourable biography of the home secretary on Friday morning. Confident of his power to play Tory kingmaker, the Mail's editor-in-chief, Paul Dacre, gave May the biggest boost she could have hoped for with a prominent front-page headline telling readers "why it must be Theresa".

When broadcasting fairness and balance isn't fair or balanced1 Jul 2016 | 4:53 amAnother scientist argues, along with Aaron Sorkin, that in trying to maintain an objective stance journalism can mislead audiencesI reported yesterday on a complaint by scientist Dame Anne Glover that Radio 4's Today programme had failed to achieve appropriate "balance" in pairing her interview with that of another academic.This problem of broadcasting balance has a long history. Re-reading some old magazines the other day I came across an excellent article written by David Elstein in the 1970s (I think) in which he explored the dilemma facing a TV current affairs producer making a documentary on smoking.

Uber in Europe: back to the future25 Jun 2016 | 12:30 amWhere will Uber stop? After the news that the Saudi's have decided to invest $3.5bn in the company, came details of a further $2bn Uber wants to raise from financial markets using tecniques never deployed before by a start-up. Uber already has a war-chest of $14 bn. to spend in expanding its role in the Middle East, Africa, India and China, as well as to develop new services like driverless cars and car-pooling.

Émile Zola and the Rougon-Macquart9 May 2016 | 3:30 amListen to, and read a transcript of an interview from Nicola Barranger for Oxford World's Classics with Valerie Minogue, translator of Money by Émile Zola, part of the Rougon-Macquart cycle. In the interview, she introduces the Rougon-Macquart, Zola's epic cycle of twenty novels. Nicola Barranger: Why did Zola write the Rougon-Macquart series? Valerie Minogue: Zola's intention really was to do something like Balzac had done in 'La Comédie humaine'. While Balzac had taken a sort of horizontal view of French society, and given a very broad panorama of that society, whereas Zola wanted to do it – if you like – in vertical terms going from one generation to another. Above all because he was...
Why hasn't the rise of new media transformed refugee status determination?26 Apr 2016 | 3:30 amInformation now moves at a much greater speed than migrants. In earlier eras, the arrival of refugees in flight was often the first indication that grave human rights abuses were underway in distant parts of the world. Since the advent of the Arab Spring in 2011, the role of new and social media as agents of transformation has become a staple of global assumptions about the power of technology to diversify political expression and facilitate networks for social change. The events of that year also triggered a heightened awareness of the promise of technology to bear witness to human rights violations. By arming 'citizen journalists' with so called 'liberation technology' there is now capacity to...
The invention of the information revolution15 Apr 2016 | 2:30 amThe idea that the US economy runs on information is so self-evident and commonly accepted today that it barely merits comment. There was an information revolution. America "stopped making stuff." Computers changed everything. Everyone knows these things, because of an incessant stream of reinforcement from liberal intellectuals, corporate advertisers, and policymakers who take for granted that the US economy shifted toward an "knowledge-based" economy in the late twentieth century. Indeed, the idea of the information revolution has gone beyond cliché to become something like conventional wisdom, or even a natural feature of the universe like the freezing point of water or the incalculable value of...
A reimagined Wonderland, Middle-earth, and material world31 Mar 2016 | 3:30 amLewis Carroll, J.R.R. Tolkein, and Philip Pullman are three of the many great writers to come out of Oxford, whose stories are continually reimagined and enjoyed through the use of media and digital technologies. The most obvious examples for Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland are the many adaptations in theatre, film, and television. Tolkein's The Lords of the Rings, with all of the facets of Middle-earth, has developed incredibly in the film and gaming industries. Pullman's His Dark Materials has also seen success in film, particularly in the The Golden Compass, an adaptation based on the first novel in the trilogy. In a discussion held at the Oxford Museum of National...

FT gains subscriptions from Brexit paywall drop29 Jun 2016 | 3:02 pmThe Financial Times dropped its paywall over the Brexit weekend, deeming it important enough to give full access to its journalism. The result? A subscriptions surge. In fact, the FT saw a 600 percent surge in digital subscriptions sales over the weekend (compared to the average weekend) since the Brexit vote news broke, which equated to "thousands" of additional subscriptions sales. The Times did the same. I wouldn't be surprised if they saw similar results.

Dark social is bigger than public social media22 Jun 2016 | 3:16 amSocial sharing is done in the dark. At least, that's what a new report from marketing tech firm RadiumOne suggests: According to the report, over three-quarters (77%) of publishers' or marketers' content shared via mobile phones takes place via private Dark Social channels, such as email, text and instant messaging – versus just 23% via public social networks. When it comes to engaging with shared content, 80% of UK mobile clickbacks happen via Dark Social. The power of e-mail coupled with the rise of messaging apps, at a guess.

Social media and the annihilation of self22 Jun 2016 | 2:51 amOne of the cornerstones of much social media theory is that it enables a constructed self: we show off the best version of ourselves. And it's a neat theory that explains some of the depression people experience after spending tie on social media – they compare the reality of themselves with the constructed ideal versions of others. But it doesn't explain some of the more harrowing and self-revealing postings on social media. Could there be an element of mascohism at play, too? That's what Rob Horning argues in Social Media as Masochism Much of social media is a calculated effort to "accumulate" esteem and grant agency. It seems plausible that the intense self-consciousness of ongoing social-media use...

Will Clinton Move to the Center? Don't Bet on It.1 Jul 2016 | 2:00 am(Photo: AP/Andrew Harnik) Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at a Digital Content Creators Town Hall in Los Angeles on June 28. Conventional wisdom on the left holds that Hillary Clinton is poised to tack right as she moves into the general election. "Triangulation," after all, is the Clinton brand; the common view is that centrism must course through their veins. But Clinton will almost certainly prove this view wrong, and not because big donors' influence has waned, or because she's a leftist at heart. The reality is that dramatic shifts in the American electorate and innovations in modern campaign strategies have made courting the center both inefficient and less...
Song for an Unsung Hero1 Jul 2016 | 2:00 amAmerica's Social Arsonist: Fred Ross and Grassroots Organizing in the Twentieth Century By Gabriel ThompsonUniversity of California Press In 2014, California Governor Jerry Brown inducted community organizer Fred Ross Sr. posthumously into the California Hall of Fame, where he joined a long list of other luminaries that includes the likes of Amelia Earhart, César Chavez, Steve Jobs, and Jackie Robinson. Ross may be the least-known figure among the inductees, but he is certainly one of the most influential. This anonymity was intentional on Ross's part. He believed that organizers should always be behind the scenes. As organizer and journalist Gabriel Thompson explains in this fascinating biography,...
Democrats Fight Trump and One Another Over Trade30 Jun 2016 | 10:00 am(Photo: AP/Andrew Harnik) Hillary Clinton and her allies are engaged in an awkward balancing act as they try to form a united front lambasting Donald Trump for what they call his phony trade populism, even as they struggle to settle trade disputes within the Democratic Party. While Clinton has committed herself to renegotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership, progressive opponents of the 12-nation trade agreement are furious that the party's platform committee has failed to decisively oppose the trade deal as it currently stands. Last week, Clinton supporters on the Democratic National Committee's platform-drafting committee voted down an amendment that would have asserted that President Obama...

Don't Blame the Voters30 Jun 2016 | 6:01 amAP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty Supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump clamor for autographs a rally Wednesday, June 29, 2016, in Bangor, Maine. What ails democracy, and who is to blame? Faced with the disruptive impulses that have given rise to Donald Trump and more recently to Great Britain's disastrous exit from the European Union, a chorus of commentators has laid the blame not on out-of-touch elites, but on average voters. The real problem, we hear, is not that economic and political systems have concentrated power in the hands of too few, but that voters have too much sway over the process. In a widely-circulated New York Magazine article last month, Andrew Sullivan blamed...

OpenNews is running a survey to learn more about the developers working in and around news orgs30 Jun 2016 | 12:39 pmIt's been five years since The Knight Foundation and Mozilla launched OpenNews, an organization focused on building a community of journalism-keen developers. Now it's trying to get a better idea of who those developers are, and how it can serve them better. The group published a new survey this week, asking developers to share their experiences working at media organizations and in related fields. The survey, aimed at developers who either work in newsrooms or do work that in some way supports journalism, is designed to get a sense of who these developers are, what they do, and how they work. One question, for example, asks about the organizational structures of respondents' organizations, such as...
The Washington Post is using Slack to create a reader community focused on the gender pay gap30 Jun 2016 | 8:00 amSlack, already an indispensable tool within newsrooms, is becoming a surprisingly effective community tool for publishers as well. Back in April, The Washington Post launched Pay Up, a Slack-based community aimed at women in the tech sector. One part career support group, one part networking tool, the group has quickly become home to discussions about the male-female wage gap, salary negotiation tactics, and news about job openings. "Women are already having these conversations among themselves all the time, so we thought we could foster those conversations and do something bigger with them," said Washington Post social media editor Alex Laughlin. The Washington Post rarely directs or even shapes Pay Up...
How Detroit's public radio station is trying to attract younger listeners30 Jun 2016 | 7:52 amDETROIT — Public radio's audience is getting older. In 1995, the median NPR listener was 45 years old; according to a report last fall, the number is now 54. A series of stories in various publications in recent weeks have questioned whether NPR — and public radio as a whole — have the wherewithal to adapt to an increasingly digital world and attract the younger audience they need to survive. But here, WDET, a Detroit-based public radio station, has seemingly managed to build a younger listenership over-the-air while also experimenting with podcasts, events, and other ways to build community. 30 percent of WDET's broadcast audience is under the age of 35, and most are younger than 45, WDET general...

Trump Taps Consultant Accused of Defrauding PAC to Lead Colorado Campaign30 Jun 2016 | 3:41 pmby Robert Faturechi Donald Trump's choice to run his campaign in Colorado, a key battleground state, is a veteran political consultant who was accused in the last election cycle of defrauding a top conservative super PAC. During the 2014 midterm election, Patrick Davis was brought on to help run Vote2ReduceDebt — a cash-flush group launched by an elderly Texas oil tycoon who had no experience in politics but wanted to help elect fiscally conservative lawmakers. The group quickly collapsed amid allegations of faked campaign events, destroyed records, fabricated expenses and contracts routed to friends, ProPublica reported last year. The group's...
Are Copay Coupons Actually Making Drugs More Expensive?30 Jun 2016 | 8:59 amby Charles Ornstein This story was co-published with the Washington Post. A few months back, after returning from a family vacation that involved lots of pool time, my 9-year-old son complained that his ear hurt. A Sunday morning trip to urgent care brought a diagnosis of swimmer's ear — an infection of the outer ear canal — and a prescription for ear drops. When my wife went to fill the prescription, for a quarter of an ounce, she was told that our share of the cost would be $135. Even with the increasingly high cost of drugs, that seemed like a lot. Since I'm a longtime health-care reporter, my wife asked me what to do. "Fill it," I said, thinking...

All companies are required to submit this data, which is then made public under the Physician Payment Sunshine Act, a part of the 2010 Affordable Care Act. We used a file called "General payments," which includes categories like promotional speaking, consulting, meals,...

Daughter of famous WWII paratrooper completes story of D-Day24 May 2014 | 7:53 amAs a young boy, I lived in an area where I was surrounded by veterans of World War II.

"Happy" Blake would recall his story of […]

The Ultimate Apple I/O Death Chart1 Jul 2016 | 6:18 amIf Apple does end up removing the headphone jack from the next iPhone (which I think they will), they will be ending support of the longest-running I/O port in their history.

Apple in Talks to Acquire Jay Z's Tidal Music Service1 Jul 2016 | 6:16 amThe Wall Street Journal: Apple is in exploratory talks to acquire streaming-music service Tidal, headed by rap mogul Jay Z, according to people familiar with the matter. Terms of the potential deal aren't known. The talks are ongoing and may not result in a deal, these people said. Apple is exploring the idea of bringing on Tidal to bolster its Apple Music service because of Tidal's strong ties to popular artists such as Kanye West and Madonna. I don't understand how Apple stands to benefit from purchasing Tidal. The post Apple in Talks to Acquire Jay Z's Tidal Music Service appeared first on The Hungry and Foolish.
Apple Patents Technology To Disable iPhone Cameras At Concerts1 Jul 2016 | 6:13 amIn the description of one of Apple's new patents: For example, an infrared emitter can be located in areas where picture or video capture is prohibited, and the emitter can generate infrared signals with encoded data that includes commands to disable the recording functions of devices. An electronic device can then receive the infrared signals, decode the data and temporarily disable the device's recording function based on the command. I really hope this is a patent Apple never, ever brings to life. The post Apple Patents Technology To Disable iPhone Cameras At Concerts appeared first on The Hungry and Foolish.

Taking The Headphone Jack Off Phones Is Stupid21 Jun 2016 | 7:29 pmNilay Patel on the rumoured headphone-less iPhone 7: Another day, another rumor that Apple is going to ditch the headphone jack on the next iPhone in favor of sending out audio over Lightning. Or another phone beats Apple to the punch by ditching the headphone jack in favor of passing out audio over USB-C. What exciting times for phones! We're so out of ideas that actively making them shittier and more user-hostile is the only innovation left. I could go into this topic in great detail, but I can't really remember the last time I used the headphone jack on my iPhone. My Mac is a different story.

Do we really become more bigoted with age? Science suggests yes.1 Jul 2016 | 6:50 amYoung people in the United Kingdom were shocked and dismayed when the Brexit vote came in last week. The youth — by a large margin — supported remaining in the European Union. Many of their parents and grandparents did not. "Brexit is a middle finger from the baby boomers to young people like me," wrote Jack Lennard, a UK graduate student, in an essay for Vox. "Despite young people having to live with the decision of the referendum for an average of 69 years, it has been decided for them by people who will only have to live with it for an average of 16 years." The reasons why UK voters decided to leave are complicated. Polling results suggest they were motivated by a combination of nationalist...
New on streaming in July 2016: Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and HBO's best options1 Jul 2016 | 6:30 amIt's a month overflowing with great options. If ever there was an argument for subscribing to one of the top four video streaming services, July 2016 is it. All of them will be packed with new arrivals worth watching this month, to the degree that selecting just five choices to recommend from each service proved far more difficult than it usually does. (I even kinda cheated with Netflix, as you'll soon see.) So, plan to stay inside for the next several — and probably cripplingly hot — days. There's plenty of entertainment to be had. New on Netflix in July The Back to the Future trilogy (Available July 1) I've already explained at length how Back to the Future is a perfect blockbuster....
Canada is the least xenophobic country in the Western world. Here's why.1 Jul 2016 | 6:27 amToday is Canada Day, Canada's equivalent of the 4th of July. Coincidentally,�the New York Times just dropped a big story on a major issue with Canada welcoming in Syrian refugees. The problem? Too many Canadians want to accept Syrian refugees, and the government can't provide enough to satisfy demand: Across Canada, ordinary citizens, distressed by news reports of drowning children and the shunning of desperate migrants, are intervening in one of the world's most pressing problems. Their country allows them a rare power and responsibility: They can band together in small groups and personally resettle — essentially adopt — a refugee family. In Toronto alone, hockey moms, dog-walking friends, book club...
Pope Francis wants the church to apologize to gay people. Here's what that could look like.1 Jul 2016 | 6:20 amOn June 26, while flying back from a trip to Armenia, Pope Francis told a reporter that he agreed with Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Germany: The Catholic Church owes an apology to gay people. The Pope's comments were short but rambling — not as deft and pithy as his well-known statement from an earlier airplane interview, "If [gay people] accept the Lord and have goodwill, who am I to judge them?" — but even the best apology is only a beginning. Good apologies allow us to live together instead of separately and, therefore, they challenge us to live in new ways we couldn't have come up with on our own. So here are a few thoughts on how Catholics can begin to walk through the door our pope has opened. First,...
American politics could be ready for a realignment on trade1 Jul 2016 | 6:10 amDonald Trump's Pittsburgh speech lambasting free trade deals may be a sign of where the future of the Republican — and Democratic — party is headed. For now, his position on free trade has scrambled America's polarized politics in unusual and entertaining ways. The US Chamber of Commerce, normally a reliable ally of Republican politicians, lit into Trump on Twitter and they were joined by the also reliably conservative National Association of Manufacturers. At the same time, the AFL-CIO, which has urged Democrats to take these kinds of stances for decades, also blasted Trump — calling him essentially a fake protectionist, echoing the Clinton campaign's own statements on the speech. It's an...

Clinton Cash and a Culture of Conspiracy on the American Political Right28 Jun 2016 | 4:11 amIn the past several weeks, a lot of attention has been paid to Donald Trump's penchant for bullying his political opponents and for making "textbook" racist statements about the federal judge presiding over the Trump University lawsuit. But not enough attention has been spent examining another aspect of Trump's appeal: his tendency to embrace unfounded conspiracy theories as fact. This "feature" of Donald Trump was on full display on June 22, when he injected unsubstantiated plots and right-wing paranoia about Hillary Clinton into the American presidential debate. Trump's speech included numerous false and misleading statements. Trump falsely claimed that U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens...

Indian pharma in Latin America
August 19, 2005
Jorge Heine
Timing isn't everything, it's the only thing" is an especially apposite saying in these hard and fast times. And this is particularly so for Indian pharma, as it faces the daunting challenge of making the Great Leap Forward into the Big Leagues of the top MNCs in the business. With India's new patent protection law in force since last March, the industry has had to move into the Brave New World of licensed generics and branded drugs, as opposed to the unlicensed generics that were its hallmark in the past.

Dejero has launched the Dejero LIVE+ Mobile App, which enables both traditional and online broadcasters to transmit high-quality HD or SD live video from a consumer device.
Available for download in Apple's iTunes Store for use on the iPhone 4S or iPad, the Dejero LIVE+ Mobile App is capable of bonding multiple wireless signals to provide high-quality live SD or HD video from the street to the television or Web.
Using the same bonded cellular technology as the Dejero LIVE+ 20/20 transmitter, the LIVE+ Mobile App aggregates both the Wi-Fi and cellular connections of the iPhone or iPad. The result of this bonding is a higher quality live video transmission with lower latency than a single connection would provide.
The LIVE+ Mobile App can transmit live video using both the front and back cameras of the iPhone or iPad during a single broadcast, enabling a reporter to create a complete breaking news story without the need for a camera operator or extra equipment.

200g reduced sugar fig jam
12 figs washed, quartered
Mix the margarine or butter, the sugar, and the flour together to make a dough.
Don't work the dough for too long.
Flatten with a rolling pin on a floured surface.
Push into a 22-24cm/9-inch tart dish and cut off the excess dough with a knife.
Line the pastry with baking paper and baking beans and blind bake the base until golden and the edges brown for 15-20 minutes at 160°C.
Remove the beans and baking parchment and add the fig jam evenly on the tart base and then lay the quartered fruit on top — alternate the inside and the outside of the fig to create a pattern.
Cook for a further 15 minutes at 160°C.
Eat warm or cold as it is or with vanilla, or parev, ice cream.
