There is a misconception that diversity is not important when reporting the news. That news is a set of facts that exist in a linear timeframe. That anyone can do it. "Once you're here for 10 minutes, you realize that it is not the case," says Raina Kelley, managing editor of The Undefeated. "Two people can see two separate tracks and come away with very different stories." As a black woman in sports journalism, she's here to set the record straight.

On Monday, members of the printing, publishing and paper-producing industries announced the formation of Stop Tariffs on Printers & Publishers (STOPP), a coalition to fight proposed countervailing duties and anti-dumping duties on imports of Canadian uncoated groundwood papers, including newsprint. These preliminary duties, assessed by the Department of Commerce in January and March, respectively, are the result of a petition filed by one company, NORPAC, an outlier in the paper industry that is looking to use the U.S. government for its own financial gain. The STOPP coalition is concerned that these CVD and AD duties, which range up to 32 percent combined, will saddle U.S. printing and publishing businesses with increased costs and threaten thousands of American jobs.

With the dawn of digital media came an explosion of new advertising channels, creating more options than ever before for campaigns and media strategies. With this revolution comes a pressure to determine which channels provide the greatest value. One important component of this question is how audiences feel about the ads they're seeing. These attitudes inform their likelihood to engage with the ad, as well as the impact the ads have on their experience and overall perception of the channel.

In response to the Department of Commerce's announcement on March 13 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.

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.

Overseas growth in both subscriptions and ad revenue is core to The New York Times' plan to hit its target of generating $800 million in revenue by 2020.
Today, the publisher makes $500 million globally, and its international digital ad business has nearly doubled in the last two years, according to the publisher. Much of that growth has come from its in-house agency T Brand Studio.

Although daily Slovakian newspaper Dennik N was only established in 2015, the publisher is already profitable.
After quitting their jobs at Denník SME, one of the most widely read mainstream broadsheets in Slovakia, 45 journalists came together to build this news business by themselves, with only five software developers and no experience working in sales.
"We resigned to protest the takeover of the publisher by a local oligarch," said Tomas Bella, head of online.

Last spring, when Tasneem Raja and her husband, Chris Groskopf, launched a hyper-local digital magazine in Tyler, Texas, they were more newsroom colleagues than business partners. The longtime journalists spent the first six months filling The Tyler Loop with data journalism and enterprise stories rather than soliciting advertisers or seed funders.
"Our plan was to take our skills as national journalists and apply them in our own backyard," said Raja, the editor and publisher.

The U.S. ad market is expected to generate $197 billion in revenue this year, a 5.5 percent increase from 2017, according to a new forecast out of Magna. That's up from Magna's previous estimate, which predicted 5 percent growth.
It also bests the 2.7 percent rise in 2017, which of course reflects the benefit of this year's cyclical events like the mid-term elections, Winter Olympics and FIFA World Cup.

An emboldened Twitter is seeking to push further into news as Facebook pulls back.
The company is building new algorithmically curated timelines during big news events and promoting them at the top of users' timelines in a test, a Twitter spokesperson confirmed to BuzzFeed News. Humans are involved in the curation during the test, but a spokesperson says they can be strictly algorithmic in the future.
