On November 8, the DOL proposed to change the way temporary job openings are shared with potential workers. Currently, employers are required by law to notify U.S. workers of these openings through publishing the listings in local newspapers. However, the DOL says it now believes publishing the listings on "widely viewed" websites, instead of in print newspapers, would be sufficient, and is therefore proposing removing the print requirement and moving to digital-only listings.

Working in the news business can be exhausting, and it rarely lives up to the hype of the movies about our industry. We'd all like to be Woodward and Bernstein, but deadlines and town hall meetings and the crush of the 24/7 news cycle rarely let up enough for even the most intrepid reporters to have their own Deep Throat moments. But, as winter approaches, it's the perfect time to indulge in some novels about journalists whose lives are exactly as wild and crazy as we all imagined ours would be. Once you've met your deadlines for the day, curl up with one of these five fiercely fun reads about our fictional news media counterparts!

We are very pleased to learn of Facebook's announcement that news organizations will be exempt from policies related to advertising of political figures, political parties, elections, and past referenda that are the subject of national debate in the UK. We are also pleased to learn that this policy will be extended to the U.S. in the first half of next year. This move recognizes the role of journalism as the "fourth estate" of civic society.

The Alliance has addressed some common myths and misperceptions about the law, what it does and does not do, and to whom it applies.

On August 29, when the International Trade Commission (ITC) announced a negative finding on newsprint tariffs, reversing the Department of Commerce's decision earlier this year, newspaper publishers felt like they had won the World Series. They lobbied hard to end the tariffs, taking their argument not only to their readers (through editorials and op-eds), but to Congress, the U.S. Department of Commerce and the ITC. Through countless hours of hard work, American newspaper publishers had claimed victory. After the confetti and rounds of congratulations for everyone's hard work, publishers began looking around for that World Series trophy, which in this case would be lower newsprint prices. But they were nowhere to be found.

INMA's November Consumer Engagement Summit looked at how newsrooms can move people from readers to subscribers to lifetime customers; that summit was summarized in a recently released INMA report.

Advertising technology has built a massive technical infrastructure. The technology and motivations of advertising undergird the economy of the internet. News sites are no exception. The information we seek about our world is underpinned with, and shaped by, advertising and its needs.

Publishers were fast to adopt the ads.txt initiative from the Interactive Advertising Bureau but the demand hasn't matched up. And according to Nicole Goksel, the senior director of digital revenue operations at Tribune Media, it needs a lot more work.
"Publishers adopted ads.txt fast and furious last year because they were afraid of losing in Q4 last year. The thing is it's super manual. It's ripe for human error," said Goksel at the recent Digiday Programmatic Media Summit.
