When I sat down to write this month's CEO column, I knew I wanted to talk about something that excited passions and the intense interest of our members. Tax reform immediately sprang to mind. It is vital to remember that members of the news media industry utilize their deductions to reinvest in the quality journalism that every American relies on. The News Media Alliance agrees that creating a "pro-growth" simplified system would benefit individuals and corporations alike. As members of Congress proceed, we ask them to continue providing certain tax incentives to the news media industry.

Statement by David Chavern, News Media Alliance President & CEO — While we appreciate the energy and resources that Google has brought, as a partner of the Coalition for Better Ads, to the effort to improve the customer experience around digital advertising, we are very concerned to learn that Google appears to be taking unilateral action to implement the Coalition's standards by adding an ad blocking feature within Chrome that would block all advertising to websites that do not comply with these new standards. Because Chrome has 60% market share in the web browser market, Google, in effect, would be regulating the distribution of Internet advertising and gaining even more control over how publishers monetize their content.

Brian Wheeler ran Charlottesville Tomorrow for about four years before he considered himself a journalist.
When the nonprofit newsroom launched in 2005, Wheeler &mdsah; the organization's executive director and only full-time employee — strived for something low-tech and high-impact. He began with a blogging platform and an email list to help residents stay abreast of local elections and development and land-use issues, then added an events calendar to track local government meetings in Charlottesville, Virginia.

As more local print newsrooms try to figure out how to become digital, a digital site in Charlotte, North Carolina did exactly the opposite — it turned to print.
Charlotte Agenda put out its first printed product, City Notes, on Friday. The newcomer's guide to Charlotte has already brought in more than $100,000 in revenue, said publisher Ted Williams. Ten thousand copies are ready to be distributed for free at area apartment complexes, through realtors and around town.

An institute dedicated to strengthening local journalism is launching an initiative aimed at developing and sustaining new ideas and fostering a venture-capitalist approach to the business.
The Philadelphia-based Lenfest Institute for Journalism has ponied up $1 million for grants, in an approach that is similar to that of an incubator for startups. "It's important not only to recognize the crisis in local and metro news but also to find creative business approaches to solving the problem," says Jim Friedlich, the institute's executive director.

The Media Briefing
Recently, INMA published an article entitled, "Instead of courting Millennials, should news media skip this generation?," to which the answer, categorically, is no.
The article predicts, somehow, that the generation isn't "fully grown" and that "Tumblr, Snapchat, Imgur, and a slew of other words missing vowels are still their thing," implying that eventually the Millennial generation will grow up and get back to valuing serious mediums.

Advertising Age
Google's plan for an ad-blocking browser is worrying some publishers and ad executives who consider the internet giant too powerful as it is.
Google dominates digital ad sales, ad delivery, search and publishing technology. It now will exert the power to interfere with websites' ad revenue through its popular Chrome web browser.
Google acknowledged that it plans to build an ad "filter" into Chrome that prevents pages from showing ad formats deemed too intrusive by the industry's Coalition for Better Ads.

Three months since Facebook started running ads in publishers' videos, participants are finding there's money to be made — as long as they have a ton of scale.
Four video publishers that are part of Facebook's beta test for mid-roll ads said the product is bringing in some revenue, with three of them saying it's already matched or surpassed the revenue they made from Facebook's Suggested Videos product.

Media Shift
C.W. Anderson sees journalism in 2017 as a paradox.
"We simultaneously have journalism that's better than ever, and journalism that seems to have less of an impact than ever before," he told students during a recent lecture at the University of Oregon.
Anderson is an associate professor at the College of Staten Island and an author of books about journalism and its transition into the digital age.
