When it comes to creative products, such as journalism, photography or book publishing, it's easy to forget that it was someone's original idea, especially as these products have transitioned to digital formats. At the recent Hill event on "Fairness in Copyright," News Media Alliance President & CEO David Chavern emphasized the importance of copyright protections that support high-quality, original journalism. "Free news is 'Pope endorses Trump.' If you don't support real news, you're implicitly supporting garbage."

When Snapchat launched in 2011, it was seen as a social app to send selfies to friends or to post stories that would disappear in 24 hours. But it has since evolved into a platform where news outlets are producing original news content — sometimes exclusively for Snapchat — to report stories in new and interesting ways that cater to a typically younger audience. Several major outlets are now getting on board with one of Snapchat's newest features, Discover, including The Washington Post, The Huffington Post and The Wall Street Journal.

When we talk about "the newspaper," are we using too broad a term to describe a variety of different beasts? Given that the difference between national, regional and hyperlocal papers is so great, is it unfair of us to blithely state that each is facing the same ecological problems?

Google has rolled out a new feature that will help fact checks stand out in search results. If a search query returns a result that includes a fact check, it will be featured as a snippet on the result page.
The snippet will always include who said the claim and its accuracy rating. If a publication fact-checked more than one claim on the same topic, each fact check will be featured in a carousel.

Does every news organization need an app? It's been a sticky question since Apple opened up the App Store nearly a decade ago. The app pendulum has swung in both directions multiple times over the years: For some publishers, apps remain an essential part of the distribution formula, while for others, developing an app is a waste of time and resources.

Facebook's Instant Article push is in danger of fizzling.
Many publishers are deeply unhappy with the monetization on these pages, with major partners like The New York Times throwing in the towel and many others cutting back the amount of content pushed to the IA platform.
