NAA and its members are pleased to learn of yesterday's announcement that the FTC has filed a complaint against dozens of companies that sent misleading subscription renewal notices to newspaper subscribers. The FTC alleges that the notices overcharged by more than 40 percent above the amount newspapers typically charge for a subscription renewal.

By David Chavern, NAA president & CEO — The Supreme Court's recent decision in the Authors Guild v. Google case to uphold the lower court's decision not to require Google to obtain permission or monetization of millions of books for creation of a searchable library has created a remarkably expansive view of the Fair Use Doctrine — which is, ironically, now unfair to the content creators themselves.

Since 1992, 1,189 journalists have been killed. This is an unacceptable toll for unearthing and disseminating the truth. We urge the United Nations General Assembly to adopt a resolution recommending the Secretary General to appoint a Special Representative for the safety of journalists. We hope our members will join us in this endeavor to protect our journalists internationally, so they might work without fear.

This is the second in a series of three articles by Matt Lindsay, President of Mather Economics — The market for digital content is similar to the market for beer. Most readers will consume what content they can without paying, but some customers will pay for good content, just as some customers will pay for good beer when free beer is offered. Many digital publishers have not decided what type of customer they are trying to serve and are lacking the strategic direction necessary for their digital products to be successful.

By David Chavern, NAA president & CEO — The newspaper business has changed a lot and is certainly much less profitable now than it used to be. But so what? Lots of industries go through ups-and-downs as technologies and customer preferences change. That doesn't mean they are "dead" businesses. People want and need the underlying products and services and the industries adapt to be successful in the new world. It is not always a pleasant or pretty transition — but the ultimate winners are the companies that focus on underlying fundamentals and what the future could be, rather than what the past has been.

The Department of Labor in June proposed increasing the salaries test used to determine if an employee is eligible for overtime from $23,660 to $50,440 annually. This proposal, which more than doubles the current standard, would set the salary threshold nearly $10,000 and $15,000 higher than what is mandated in California and New York. While the current salaries test should be increased, a full 113% increase after a decade of inaction would ultimately hurt employees.

One of the dirty little secrets in digital media is that the big numbers of page views and unique users touted by publishers are misleading at best. They overstate a publication's audience size and impact.
Most visitors to a publisher's content are fly-bys: They stay for only a few seconds. And even if they stay longer than that, the vast majority come to a publisher's website only once or twice a month. These are not loyal users devoted to a brand.

The feed is dying. The reverse-chronological social media feed — the way you've read Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and blogs (which is to say, the internet) at various points over the last decade, updates organized according to the time they were posted, refreshed at the top of the screen — no longer really makes sense. The unfiltered informational cascade that defined the internet of the 2010s is going the way of the front-page-style web portal.

Last Friday, the head of Bloomberg Media told The Guardian that publishers are "feeding on the scraps" of Facebook's ad business. Justin Smith said Facebook makes a lot more from ads in its News Feed than publishers do from linking content on the social network.
I agree with Smith that this is problematic for the news business, but I'm not sure Facebook relies as heavily on the news as much as publishers like to think they do.

When it comes to security best practices, most publishers are better at writing about them than actually implementing them.
For years, researchers have made the call for news sites to adopt HTTPS, a more secure, encrypted alternative to HTTP that both prevents digital eavesdropping and assures readers that the site they're reading hasn't been altered by governments or criminals.

The job title is a head-scratcher. Newspapers and magazines have editor in chiefs. Why does a live video app need to have one?
Because the app needs to help users spot the very best live streams amid all the noise.
That will be part of Evan Hansen's job once he starts work at Periscope in mid-May.
