There's a very funny photograph taken by Brassaï of Pablo Picasso posing in his Paris studio. Picasso had acquired a giant oil painting of a nude woman from an antique shop, and he strikes an affected pose before it, his brush poised and his little finger extended, as though he's preparing to make the finishing touch on a masterwork. The actor Jean Marais is stretched out on the floor beside him, pretending to serve as the model despite being fully dressed.

Journalists can use Twitter in many different ways. They can reveal personal details or maintain a purely professional profile. They can interact with their followers or focus on tweeting news and information.
Those choices journalists make about how to behave on Twitter can influence what people think about them, according to new research from assistant professor Mi Rosie Jahng of Hope College and assistant professor Jeremy Littau of Lehigh University.

Print is beautiful. It can't notify you when a work email arrives, can't be tweeted mid-sentence, and won't die without a charger. Even better, it's finite.
It's also supposed to be dead. For years, the new media vanguard has preached "digital first" and the death knell has sounded again and again for print, as legendary magazines moved online or ceased publication altogether. Now, 20 years into the digital revolution, print is making something of a comeback.

We prize creativity. Being able to produce a novel and useful idea, solution, or product is what fuels innovation and differentiates you from competitors. This helps explain why, in a recent global survey, more than 1,500 corporate and public sector leaders reported that creativity is the most important quality a leader must have.
However, being creative also has an undeniable dark side — one that can be very costly for companies if left unchecked.

When Ron Boire was growing up on a dairy farm in upstate New York, helping out around the property for $2 an hour, he saw new books as an out-of-reach luxury.
"We didn't have any money, and my mother was a voracious reader," he said. "I remember telling a friend, when I grow up, I want to be able to afford hardcover books."

Since the advent of the Internet, publishers have been trying to leverage distribution channels — such as social media networks — to drive traffic to their own websites. Now, though, content can be hosted and monetized on these third-party platforms through services including Facebook's Instant Articles or Snapchat's Discover. As such, we can see the emergence of a new wave of "homeless" media companies that don't require a home page; their sole purpose is to syndicate content.

The Memo
"We all took a breather when the fantastic growth of e-books finally slowed. But that breather is over."
It was with those words that Nigel Roby, chief executive of The Bookseller, introduced FutureBook 15, Europe's largest annual publishing conference, in a timely warning to industry leaders not to get complacent about the so-called "e-book plateau."

As I was reading up on articles about that "terrible" $10 TracFone, I started to get interested, and then curious. A fairly common reaction to the Ars Technica review was that the reviewer was being a little unfair in his assessment, comparing a $10 phone to much more expensive devices. The phone wasn't just "better than nothing," it was actually a lot better than nothing.
