In response to the Department of Commerce's announcement last night of preliminary antidumping duties on Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper — which includes newsprint: Publishers and printers across the country are already feeling the negative consequences of a tighter newsprint market and higher prices resulting from the duties announced in January. The announcement last night means that publishers and commercial printers will feel more pain in the months ahead, and more than 600,000 jobs across the printing and publishing industry will be threatened.

Every year, we celebrate Sunshine Week to honor the work of the journalists and private citizens who are utilizing the Freedom of Information Act to bring government records out of the dark filing cabinets where they live and into the sunlight. The federal Freedom of Information Act and the state-level freedom of information laws make it possible for us to find out more about our government and learn about the inner workings of the organizations that keep our communities running. But as much as FOIA and the local FOIL statutes have helped us all, there is still so much work to be done.

Transparency in government is essential to upholding American democracy. When citizens have access to behind-the-scenes information about local and federal administrations, politicians are held accountable. The public is educated and engaged and our nation is strengthened. Before the presidential election, Pew research found that just 5 percent of Americans believed the government was doing a good job of sharing key information.

Have you ever been the only woman journalist in the room? Have you ever attended a panel on the future of journalism and realized not a single woman was onstage? If you answered yes to any of these questions, congratulations! You're cognizant of the underrepresentation of women in the media! And you're also like me and many other women journalists struggling to be noticed in a male-dominated industry. According to the American Society of News Editors, women make up approximately 39 percent of newsroom employees; however, they make up only about 15 percent of the staff at daily newspapers.

The Copyright Office and Library of Congress are transitioning from microfilm submissions of newspapers to PDF format. PDF is required immediately. You can continue to submit microfilm, but please start submitting in PDF for your January and February 2018 papers, if you haven't submitted those already. You must submit in PDF format by March 31. The News Media Alliance has been working with the Library on mandatory deposits and the Copyright Office on group registration to develop a specification for the new PDF submission format requirements. We have provided a webpage that gives background, filing guidance and reference tools for the new format and transition details.

Last week, in an effort to ensure fairness and preserve critical access to trusted, high-quality news, Congressman David Cicilline (D-RI), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee, introduced the "Journalism Competition and Preservation Act of 2018." This bill would incorporate a limited safe harbor into current antitrust laws, providing news publishers the ability to collectively negotiate with big tech platforms, such as Facebook and Google, on important factors — such as the quality, accuracy, and attribution of news sources — that underpin their livelihoods and affect the public's continued ability to access news from trustworthy sources — a lynchpin of our democracy.

Part of our How-To Series for News Publishers — When I was freelancing with VICE News, my editor and I were never in the same place. I worked remotely from New York City, while my boss was working in Washington, D.C. We were also very rarely on the same schedule. He would be at his desk from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., while I was constantly on the move, working from a home office in Queens, an office in Brooklyn, in a coffee shop in Manhattan or, more often than not, from my phone on a bus or on the subway. More and more, we're on the go, relying on our smartphones to be our computers. So, this week we're going to share with you some of the tools you can use to be productive, even when you're away from your desk.

Steve Lacy greeted me in his office as if we were old friends.
A top executive at the Meredith Corporation, he was a main driver of the company's $2.8 billion acquisition of Time Inc. last November. With that deal, the 116-year-old Meredith Corporation became the largest magazine publisher in America.
When he spoke, it was clear Lacy took pride in Meredith's unassuming corporate culture, so far removed from the New York magazine scene.

The New Yorker belongs to a rare club of publications whose revenue from readers exceeds that of advertisers. Total paid circulation for the highbrow weekly rose 12.3 percent last year to 1.2 million, even as the subscription price grew 20 percent to $120 for the most popular print-digital bundle. Today, readers contribute 65 percent of the revenue. (At The New York Times, reader revenue is 60 percent.)

Q: As a media company that's grown on Facebook's back, you surprised some by taking a shot at the company. How should Facebook help publishers?
A: My big criticism of the strategy so far is all their revenue is generated in the news feed, and they only share revenue for new surfaces — Instant Articles or Watch — but don't share any of the revenue from their main source of revenue, the news feed.

Mobile marketing is going through a major change that takes it beyond the phone.
More than 80 percent of U.S. adults now have a smartphone, according to the Deloitte Global Mobile Consumer Survey. But the mobile market is in the midst of an important pivot, with technologies like wearables, connected homes, connected cars and voice interaction altering consumer behavior and the ways brands can engage with their audiences.

After years of headlines about consultancies eating ad agencies' lunches, the two groups are increasingly starting to look alike.
Since everything in marketing revolves around the client, it shouldn't come as a surprise that they're driving these changes. Faced with new challenges in a rapidly evolving marketplace, clients are demanding a wider range of services in an attempt to adapt.

Google users who subscribe to newspapers will find articles from those publications appearing higher in their search results, part of the tech giant's efforts to help media companies find and retain paying readers, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Alphabet unit will also begin sharing search data that show who's most likely to buy a subscription, said the people, who asked to be anonymous because they weren't authorized to speak publicly.

The past two years have taught us that the United States needs a better handle on what social networks are doing to manipulate and prioritize information. If there's one thing that Washington could do, it would be to provide better safeguards to ensure that these powerful tools are not used to mislead the public again. That's part of the message from Martha Minow, longtime Harvard Law school dean and expert on the shifting media and technological landscape. We need action now, or independent news as we know it won't be around, she warned in a speech last week at Brown University.

In a constantly evolving newsroom, journalists are looking out for interesting ways to enrich their audience's experience using unique and distinctive formats. Live video, for example, offers the public real-time coverage of live events and can take viewers into the heart of a story as never before.
As part of a panel at Journalism.co.uk's newsrewired event, Peter Stewart, author of The Live-Streaming Handbook, shared some of the lessons he has learned throughout his career as a BBC broadcaster.

Publishers casting about for new referral sources after Facebook decided it wants the news feed to be, ironically, less newsy are taking a fresh look at Pinterest.
The big shift last year in terms of referral traffic was Facebook declining as a source of traffic for publishers while Google surpassed it. Pinterest, along with Instagram, grew as traffic sources as well, although from smaller bases.
