A new report released last week offers a guide for journalists and organizations interested in different ways newsrooms are making money from their audiences.
"Guide to Audience Revenue and Engagement" digs into various forms of revenue, how they're different from each other and the role culture plays in creating successful revenue strategies.
And it's not about the tote bags.

The dual-revenue model of print advertising and home delivery subscriptions that historically sustained newspapers is fading. In its place, newspapers are pursuing new revenue growth through digital subscriptions.
Weekday circulation for U.S. daily newspapers in 2016 declined for the 28th consecutive year, according to a 2017 Pew Research Center analysis. That analysis found weekday and Sunday print circulation numbers fell to their "lowest levels since 1945."

Facebook has been mostly good about sharing traffic with publishers through News Feed.
But BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti thinks Facebook should also be willing to share in the revenue it makes from News Feed.
"The big question with Facebook is most of Facebook's revenue is in News Feed, and that's where they've not shared revenue," he said at Code Media in Huntington Beach, Calif.

In 2014, at the tail end of Maria Garcia's pregnancy, she was diagnosed with preeclampsia, a potentially dangerous complication characterized by high blood pressure. She was put on bed rest for an entire month. Unable to work, Garcia, an anchor and investigative reporter at El Paso's ABC-7, says she had to prematurely dip into her three-month maternity leave. For the first six weeks of that leave, she received her full salary, but after that, she only got half.

In a CNBC appearance, New York Times Co. CEO Mark Thompson discussed the company's recent positive financial results — and also, when pressed, addressed the inevitable moment in the future when the paper discontinues its print edition. "I believe it's many years in the future," he said. "And by the way ... we think our print product is a wonderful product. We'd love it to survive and thrive as long as it can. I believe that at least 10 years is what we can see in the U.S. for our print product."

I have a confession to make..
I care about my page views too much. In fact, I tweeted about it two days ago and was quite proud of my accomplishments.
But then I woke up the next day, and I realized something..
Views are great, but us bloggers glorify them too much.
Let me explain.

With January just ended, I realize I haven't set any goals for the year. And truthfully, as busy as I am, I can't help but wonder, "What's the point?" I already have goals for this year in the form of deadlines: three books to complete, 12 newsletters to craft, 25-plus blogs to write, and the world to wow on social media — not to mention conferences to attend and edits coming out of my ears.

It only took 12 years, but Twitter has finally turned a quarterly profit.
The social network reported its fourth-quarter earnings and as expected, the company posted a modest profit, pulling in $91 million on $732 million in revenue. That's a jump of 2% on the revenue it posted in the same period last year. It attributed the small rise to increased advertising revenue, stemming from the myriad updates it made to its product over the last year, as well as video ad sales.

Google and Facebook are the biggest tech companies in terms of advertising and biggest traffic sources for publishers, but they still only account for less than 5 percent of publishers' digital revenue, a new report from publisher trade group Digital Content Next shows.
Looking just at the revenue publishers make from their distributed content, across sources like Facebook Instant Articles, Google AMP and Instagram, Google and Facebook account for about 30 percent.

First, to address the confusion: Although by press time in early January, boxwood blight had not yet been confirmed in Indiana, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources did confirm that a Boy Scout troop in Evansville had sold boxwood holiday wreaths infected with boxwood blight. No one's blaming the Boy Scouts; the material was sourced in North Carolina, and it's reported that eight other states had received infected boxwood material from the same source.

The snow was three inches deep, a blizzard by Nashville standards, when I got a text from a parent supervising the neighborhood sledding: "It's a robin migration out in your front yard. Do you put food out there for them?"
I went to the window to look. There are nine bird feeders around my house, but I've never seen a robin at a single one of them. In winter, robins do gather in great flocks here in Middle Tennessee, and our yard is always popular with them because we have a birdbath with a heating element that keeps it from freezing.
