When you're in a locker room with hundreds of other reporters, you have to do something different. That's exactly what sets Ben Cohen apart. He is the first NBA reporter for the Wall Street Journal and a 2017 News Media Alliance Rising Star. His favorite, and best, stories that are those that nobody else was going to do. He broke a story about the Golden State Warriors working as a team to get PB&J sandwiches back. He wrote about a lucky toaster and a small high school in Minnesota changing the game. One article focused on the birthday traditions of the Warriors, buying elaborate birthday cakes and celebrating together. He admits these are all weird examples of basketball articles. "They sound silly and surprising," he says. "But teams are successful because they have this culture."

Social media matters. It's pretty indisputable at this point. Your favorite celebrity has it, your uncle has it and you may not realize it, but even your favorite publishers have it. It's where you go to see what time the next Great British Baking Show is airing, to see where the star actor is eating dinner and it's where you go when you want to see what people think about your favorite documentary. But who is in charge of all this content that's pushed out on multiple platforms, a hundred times a day, from various channels? At WGBH, this person is one of News Media Alliance's Rising Stars, Tory Starr. As Director of Social Media, Tory is the one that deals with the "big picture" of social media at her organization.

In 2012, the first edition of the popular newsletter theSkimm was crafted up and sent. TheSkimm has since accumulated over 5 million subscribers who have signed up to receive a short email with the breakdown of popular news stories each morning.

By News Media Alliance President & CEO, David Chavern — I was recently in the office of a well-respected Member of Congress, trying to help him understand issues of importance to the news industry — including media cross-ownership, IP protection and the roles played by Google and Facebook. One of the first things he said was, "How come I don't hear from your members? I rarely meet with anyone from the National Association of Broadcasters, but the TV and radio station managers in my district call me all the time. How come I never hear directly from the publishers in my district?" It was a kind of startling way to start the conversation but the underlying message had deep meaning: "You have power, but you don't use it."

The early results from a recent study that Kent Grayson, a Northwestern University marketing professor, did on consumer skepticism left him feeling a little, well, skeptical.
So he ran the trials a few more times. Each time, when participants were asked what they thought of modern advertising techniques, they answered with words like "credible," "fair" and "good."

Those details are emerging as Facebook talks to publishers about a subscription tool it wants to launch later this year, in conjunction with its Instant Articles program, where Facebook hosts publishers' articles on its own mobile app.
