On Aug. 5, we lost one of journalism's greatest supporters and advocates, Gerry Lenfest. Gerry had a long career in law, media and investing. Gerry supported newspapers when they needed it most and showed that they are worth fighting for. More recently, Gerry was owner of the Philadelphia Media Network, which includes The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philly.com and the Philadelphia Daily News. He paved the way for future business models for news media organizations by donating the publications to a nonprofit foundation, the Lenfest Institute for Journalism.

On Aug. 2, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced its affirmative final determination on countervailing duties and antidumping duties on imports of uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, which includes newsprint. Commerce's determination revises the preliminary duties, which now range from 8.4 percent to 20.26 percent. While we appreciate the hard work the Commerce Department has put into this investigation and that the margins have been reduced, we believe the final determination does not solve the underlying problem. These taxes on Canadian imports for newsprint have already caused job losses at newspapers across the country and resulted in less quality news and information being distributed in local communities.

Elections have always been ripe opportunities for news organizations to work together for the benefit of the communities they cover.
This year, there are several notable efforts spanning the globe that include fact-checking, day-of coverage coordination and more. These kind of projects produce journalism that couldn't otherwise be done by individual newsrooms, especially in today's climate of continued downsizing.

Breaking News, which sent out news alerts from around the globe 24 hours a day, was beloved, but that wasn't enough to save it. The company, consisting of a Twitter feed (with 9.1 million followers), app and website, was shut down by its owner, NBC News, at the end of 2016. A little under two years later, the founders of Breaking News think they've found a way to bring back the product (sort of) while making money.

People passing by newsstands Monday might have been surprised to see the cover of the New York Post without its usual headlines or teasers.
Instead, the tabloid had a cover wrap with an advertisement for the New York skateboarding and clothing store Supreme. It's the first time the Post has done a wrap for every paper on newsstands, said CEO and publisher Jesse Angelo.

Journalists regularly weigh in on what platforms like Facebook and Google are and aren't doing to stop the spread of viral misinformation. But what do Americans at large think?
Nothing good, according to a new survey published by Gallup and the Knight Foundation.
The report, based on web surveys from a random sample of 1,203 U.S. adults, found that 85 percent of Americans don't think the platforms are doing enough to stop the spread of fake news.

Over the past couple of years, Twitter has done the bare minimum to fight fake news, avoiding the kind of negative press that has plagued Facebook in the process. And for a while, that strategy worked — until now.
Last week, pretty much every major technology platform took action against Alex Jones, a notorious conspiracy theorist and host of InfoWars. It came after nearly a month of coverage from media and tech reporters about InfoWars' continued existence on the platforms.

Google, Facebook, Twitter and the internet are not media. They are something new we do not yet fully understand.
We are often doomed to see the future as the analog of the past. Journalists see screens that contain familiar text and images, and that serve what used to be their ads — and they call that media. Such a mediacentric and egocentric worldview brings too many presumptions and misses too many opportunities.

The Wall Street Journal is not exactly known for its sense of whimsy — but that's what the folks revamping its newsletter system are aiming for.
When Cory Schouten and Annemarie Dooling (formerly of CJR/Indianapolis Business Journal and Vox Media, respectively) joined the Journal's newsletter team earlier this year, they embarked on the journey of whittling down the paper's 126 newsletters.
