Columbia Journalism Review
In his 1964 Harper's Magazine article on fact-checking, "There Are 00 Trees in Russia," Otto Friedrich related the story of an unnamed magazine correspondent who had been assigned a profile of Egyptian president Mohamed Naguib. As was custom, he wrote his story leaving out the "zips" — facts to be filled in later — including noting that Naguib was "such a modest man that his name did not appear among the 000 people listed in Who's Who in the Middle East" and that he elected not to live in the royal palace, surrounded "by an 00-foot-high wall."

According to a new report from the UK-based charity Article 19 (named for one of the clauses in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights), freedom of expression has reached a 10-year low globally, as a result of what the report calls "digital authoritarianism" and threats against journalists.

As hundreds of teenagers flooded the dimly lit street for the student government rally, 18-year-old Natalia Mira raised her hand in the air and led them in a chant.
It was a song often heard among young people at political rallies in Buenos Aires, an ode to a former Argentine president, the populist Juan Perón, and his wife, Eva.
"We will fight from sun to sun," they sang in front of their high school. "We are the youth, the soldiers of Perón."

The business of local news is in trouble, Clara Henderickson wrote in a recent report for The Brookings Institution.
"This is a serious public problem; those who read, listen, and watch the news are not just consumers, but citizens that rely on news publishers to meet the demands of living in a democracy."
The headlines this year have been in agreement — local news is dying.
But those headlines are wrong.

Late last year, Facebook's head of news partnerships, Campbell Brown, told any news publisher who would listen that publishers should not rely on Facebook to play a major role in their business plans or strategies.
Yet for most of this year, Facebook has acted as one of the most predictable sources of referral traffic available to publishers, according to Parsely data.

Instagram's impending removal of likes from public view — now in the testing stages — is forcing advertisers to reassess how they judge the popularity and reach of influencers.
If likes become less available, advertisers might need to rely more on building relationships with influencers to gain access to accurate data. Without a direct relationship with an influencer, advertisers have no way to know if the numbers shared by that person are real.

On a recent Sunday, Silvia Rezzonico pushed a stroller through the glorious gardens of Villa Belgiojoso, winding past parents chasing their toddlers and families lounging on blankets.
Under a black walnut tree, she paused to look down at the baby boy dozing angelically in the pram.
"He's not really mine," she said.
But he was her coveted ticket into the park.

In a new study, researchers from RHS Garden Wisely analyzed various types of ground-dwelling invertebrates in the garden, and found that the denser the vegetation, the greater number of insects there were.
While the garden remains a pride of joy for many with an abundance of annuals and perennials and well-maintained lawns, it turns out having occasional bald patches of earth is not only economical but provides a habitat different to that provided by full, mature borders.
