Freelancers and contract workers make up the fastest-growing segment of the American workforce, and are expected to surpass half of all workers within a decade. But, under current employment law, these workers are ineligible for most of the rights and benefits of traditional employees.
As their ranks grow so, too, do the court challenges from workers who say they are improperly classified as contractors.

On stage at a tech conference last month, Campbell Brown, Facebook's head of news partnerships, fired a warning shot to publishers who think they get a raw deal from Facebook. "My job is to make sure there is quality news on Facebook and that publishers who want to be on Facebook ... have a business model that works," Brown said. "If anyone feels this isn't the right platform for them, they should not be on Facebook."

Hearst Newspapers has replaced its one-size-fits-all paywall with a customizable one. The newspaper group, with 24 daily and 64 weekly papers, including the Houston Chronicle and the San Francisco Chronicle, has been tinkering with a paywall whose permeability changes depending on who's visiting and what they're reading.
The new paywall replaces a system where editors chose which content was paywalled and which wasn't.

The other day, I was talking to one of my younger cousins about his aspiration to become a writer in film. A friend of his parents, who has become something of a non-blood related uncle, had apparently told him that in order to succeed in the screenwriting industry, it's important to get into the habit of writing regularly — becoming prolific from an early age can be beneficial in the same way that starting to save money from a young age can produce a large pool of savings in the future.

The Denver Post? GREEN. The fake news site the Denver Guardian? RED. A site that's not putting out deliberately fake news, but is overwhelmingly influenced in its coverage by a funder that it's not eager to disclose? Maybe a YELLOW.
That's the proposed ratings system underlying NewsGuard, an initiative launched by Steven Brill (The American Lawyer, Court TV) and L. Gordon Crovitz (Wall Street Journal, Denverite).

Plagiarism Today
Back in 2013, we took a lengthy look at the similarities and differences between copyright and plagiarism.
Suffice to say that copyright is a legal regime that deals with unauthorized copying and sharing of a work while plagiarism is an ethical regime that covers attribution and how appropriately use the work of others.
But, while the ethical vs. legal dichotomy is an important distinction, copyright stills ends up being the most common legal mechanism for enforcing the rules of plagiarism.

With the help of a squadron of digital tools, brands are chasing their tails. Like people in your Facebook feed, brands respond to positive feedback. Likes, clicks and other shallow metrics drive the content brands create each month. They're easier to access, easier to understand and easier to act on. Success with your Instagram picture of avocado toast yields another image of avocado toast or (worse yet) a video of avocado toast.

Earlier this year, we made a commitment to show more high quality news on Facebook. People tell us they want to see informative news about what is happening around them, when it happens, on Facebook.
Getting clear signal on what stories are breaking news can help. We've been running a test in the U.S. that lets a small group of local and national publishers identify and label breaking news.

Facebook's news-feed changes have already killed LittleThings and Cox Media-owned publisher Rare and are threatening other viral ones. But their knock-on effects are expected to reverberate past the publishers themselves to the companies that supported and enabled Facebook strategies that are ending.
These include companies such as Jukin Media, which provided the raw material that fueled many publishers' news-feed video operations.

You are standing in a garden. Surrounding you are green walls of tall hawthorn hedges, clipped to produce inviting archways into sun-dappled rooms. As you wander, surprises appear around every corner: a secluded grove strung with ivy and vines, a kitchen garden of fragrant herbs, a broad green with hawthorns trimmed into the shape of giant hens striding among bright purple onion flowers.
