J.C. Penney reintroduces fake prices
TIME
In early 2012, J.C. Penney promised the end of "fake prices" — ones that were inflated just so that shoppers could be tricked into thinking the inevitable discounts represented amazing deals. Well, it's already time to welcome back discounts and inflated prices alike.
Study shows native ads outperform banners ... mostly
Forbes
A new study by Sharethrough and the IPG Media Lab surveyed 4,770 consumers on their responses to native ad formats, with 200 of the participants agreeing to have their eye movements tracked as they looked at different arrangements of ads and content. The results overwhelmingly backed up the central contention of companies like Sharethrough, which helps publishers push their native ads across different platforms: that readers are more likely to pay attention to marketing messages that resemble the content around them.
Five platforms local retailers can use to connect with online shoppers
StreetFight
Rather than creating their own e-commerce websites, merchants with physical outposts are increasingly relying on hyperlocal solutions as a way to connect with consumers who prefer shopping online. These platforms give retailers a way to put their products in front of local shoppers, without actually requiring them to set up an online store or negotiate the logistics of shipping and delivery.
Online video ads have higher impact than TV ads
Adweek
TV may still dominate the advertising market, but the audience for online video is soaring, with 58 percent of the U.S. population streaming, up from 38 percent five years ago. Digital video presents a big opportunity for marketers, given that online viewers are receptive to ads and that viewing is growing among hard-to-reach audiences like adults 18-34 and light TV watchers.

Mashable
YouTube is set to launch a paid subscription model for its specialist video channels, according to a report.

The site recently posted a hiring notice for a foreign editor that said BuzzFeed wanted "to build a new kind of national security and world news coverage."

Evan Williams on Medium: 'The magazine is the analog for what we're doing'
paidContent
When Twitter co-founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone launched Medium last year, their goal was for it to be a collaborative publishing tool that connected writers to a larger network. But that vision also hinges on quality, curation and, in some ways, a higher barrier to entry than platforms like Twitter.
How Instagram went from startup to sensation
Vanity Fair
The sale of Instagram to Facebook for a cool billion in the spring of 2012 was the ultimate Silicon Valley fairy tale: 18 months from launch to offer. But, for co-founder and CEO Kevin Systrom, it was more of a roller-coaster ride, with several missed opportunities, at least two "aha" moments and one major reboot.

Narratively's Noah Rosenberg on monetizing long-form journalism
Ebyline

Since launching in September, the site has published long-form articles, photos and multimedia work created by media professionals with credits at The New York Times, CNN, NPR and other top-tier publications.

Reuters, untied to print metaphor, builds a modern river of news
Nieman Journalism Lab
Reuters, as a wire service, has the concept of a minute-by-minute stream of news deep in its DNA. So it's natural that its digital presence would echo that — a flowing river of information, where moving from story to story feels unencumbered. The team responsible for the new site and apps sees the project as less of a redesign and more of a rebuild: Instead of adding new flooring and fixtures, they've taken the house down to the foundation.

Five qualities of innovative leaders in today's media
Poynter
What qualities distinguish successful leaders in media today? Tom Rosenstiel, executive director of the American Press Institute, writes that he sees "five qualities common among the current crop of innovators — at a time when it's perhaps even harder to lead, given all the challenges the industry faces."
Trend watch: digital marketing services
Editor & Publisher
The process of diversification and of introducing new products to staff and clients doesn't happen overnight. At the Kenosha News in Wisconsin, managing director of digital media and director of client media Nicole McQuestion said, "We spent a year developing staff that does a needs analysis of a client's business. We taught them how to look at the client's whole business and future needs, rather than just how to sell an ad. We have an 11-person staff with three who specialize in digital media."

Think micropayments for media can't work?
paidContent
There is a perception that micropayments for content don't work, because they are too cumbersome and involve too much friction for the user. But Greg Golebiewski, the founder and CEO of a micropayment provider, thinks this conventional wisdom is wrong, and that media companies are missing a lucrative opportunity.

Why sponsored posts are a waste of ad dollars
The New York Observer
Some sites call it "native advertising." Some call it "sponsored posts." Some call it "advertorial." But regardless of the name, it's based on short-term thinking and built almost exclusively on industry hype. It's not a long-term strategy; it's just a way to juice media buyers for cash.
