Debbie Abrams Kaplan ASJA
 I've turned into the crazy lady who writes letters to the middle school newspaper.
Just as I've taught my 12 and 14-year-old kids to spot incorrect apostrophe use and improper use of "their, they're and there," my kids know how to spot copyright violations in their middle and high school newspapers. Here's a clue: it often starts with "Courtesy of Google.com."
For the past few years, I've seen the middle school newspaper credit photos with that phrase, and the high school giving photo credit to The New York Times. Each time I see this I envision a lawyer sending a letter to the paper asking for thousands of dollars per violation. I’m pretty sure the editors didn’t ask permission to include those photos.

The New York Times Company will invest more than $50 million over the next three years to support an ambitious plan to expand its international digital audience and increase revenue outside the United States, the company said Thursday. The Times has formed a new team, NYT Global, to lead the effort. "Because our digital report is still designed and produced mainly for a U.S. audience, we have not come close to realizing our potential to attract readers outside our home market,” Arthur Sulzberger Jr., The Times's publisher, Mark Thompson, its chief executive, and Dean Baquet, its executive editor, wrote in a memo to employees.

There are few other things more soothing to people of a certain type than leisurely browsing their favorite neighborhood bookstore. In San Francisco, my favorite store is Green Apple Books, on 9th Avenue in the Inner Sunset district, right by the Golden Gate Park. Walking between those tall stacks of books under the warm store lights feels reassuring. The faces at the counter are friendly. And you know you're in the presence of others who share in your comfort there.

So, when you're surrounding yourself with like-minded writers, or are meeting artists for the first time that appear friendly and authentic, it's important to remember that guarding your craft, your passion and your career isn't rude or self-serving. It's just smart. We want to think the best of people, especially the people that we share a mutual interest and/or passion with, but the truth of the matter is; as you gain popularity, experience and publishers, there are some people who will come into your life with intentions of hurting you, instead of helping, supporting or even just appreciating you.

At the recent annual data journalism conference in Denver, the job postings covered a large bulletin board. News organizations from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to Vox were seeking reporters, editors, producers, designers, and developers.
The catch: Nearly every job asked for expertise in working with data.
For recent journalism school graduates, that requirement may mean a harder time finding a job.

For a long time, people assumed the web was the future of newspapers.
They figured readers would transition to papers' websites when they began abandoning their print editions. They thought audiences for papers' digital side would soar.
But just as newspaper advertisers don't appear to be replacing their print ads with digital ones, print newspaper readers aren't transitioning to newspapers' websites in this digital age.
