Writing has never been a lucrative career choice, but a recent study by the Authors Guild, a professional organization for book writers, shows that it may not even be a livable one anymore.
According to the survey results, the median pay for full-time writers was $20,300 in 2017, and that number decreased to $6,080 when part-time writers were considered. The latter figure reflects a 42 percent drop since 2009, when the median was $10,500.

Bloomberg recently reported that Snapchat is experiencing a steady decline in daily users, and its situation isn't expected to improve any time soon. Though far from "dead," Snapchat's downward trend may well prompt second thoughts for many brands that were considering marketing on a digital media platform, including whether to move forward and, if they do, what the best strategy will be.

If online publishing were a romcom, you could liken Yahoo Finance — which in Q1 will ask readers to join a paid membership program to receive premium articles, data, research and tools — to Julia Roberts' Notting Hill character, Anna Scott. After months of romantic turmoil and emotional exhaustion, Scott threw up her hands with the famous line: "I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."

The digital duopoly of Google and Facebook will face unprecedented regulatory scrutiny, as Amazon muscles its way into the digital ad space. Meanwhile, pay-TV companies will continue to struggle as cord-cutting accelerates and TV consumption shifts to digital, and millennials and Gen Z will drive explosive growth in eSports.

Why do Snapchat users use Snapchat? According to a new study by the messaging application and market-research firm Murphy Research, the answer is simple: It makes them happy.
Snapchat and Murphy surveyed 1,005 app users aged 13 through 44 for the Apposphere study (being a Snapchat user was not required to participate in the study), and they arrived at three key conclusions.

Social media in a journalism context has seen quite the evolution over the years. The "social media" position went from not being a position at all, to an automated task, to something relegated to interns because they understood "how the internet works" to, at some point, a role that editors finally understood the importance of. Entire social teams were created, led by brilliant journalists no less. But in true media form, times are changing — again.

I am not a fan of most books about the business model dilemma of journalism. Things move so fast that they risk a degree of obsolescence by the time they hit print. And way too often, overstatement and hot-air theorizing mar the exercise.
A welcome exception crossed my desk during the holiday break — Bill Birnbauer's "The Rise of Nonprofit Investigative Journalism in the United States."

I get emotional watching movies on airplanes. It doesn't matter what the story line is or how many times I've viewed it stoically on terra firma. At 40,000 feet, I submit to tears.
It turns out this is a thing. The phenomenon of crying during in-flight movies has been explored by several outlets, including "This American Life," which devoted 11 minutes to the topic in a 2004 segment titled "Contrails of My Tears."

In late November, the Justice Department unsealed indictments against eight people accused of fleecing advertisers of $36 million in two of the largest digital ad-fraud operations ever uncovered. Digital advertisers tend to want two things: people to look at their ads and "premium" websites — i.e., established and legitimate publications — on which to host them.

We humans take it for granted that plants are our inferiors. But they make earth habitable for us animals, by harnessing the energy of the sun to produce food and by releasing oxygen. That's not the only trick they have up their leaves. In this thought-provoking, handsomely illustrated book, Italian neurobiologist Stefano Mancuso considers the fundamental differences between plants and animals and challenges our assumptions about which is the "higher" form of life.

Have you ever looked at your garden and felt as if you failed?
The plant you purchased and spent time feeding, watering and pruning never came back after winter. Or the end-of-season plant you bought for $1 and nurtured and protected from the harsh winter re-emerges in spring only to be devoured by insects.
Tomatoes you spaced perfectly to allow air circulation, which you watered regularly and staked, succumbed to disease right when you were waiting for that mouthwatering crop.

Recently I cradled a brown, wizened and lifeless stem of a plant in my hand and waited for Linda Davis.
She arrived bearing a water dropper and some words of advice: Have your magnifying glass ready "or you may miss it."
Once soaked, and within a few seconds, the tiny whorls of brown fur turned green and unfurled like a fern greeting the spring, only in a flash and in miniature. This miracle plant was merely a common moss named atrichum.

Melbourne and other cities such as Portland, Oslo, San Francisco and Singapore are embracing a far-reaching shift in their mental models about the city's relationship to nature. In modern times, the city has been thought of as the dominant context in the natural environment; its physical, economic, and social needs were to be met by shaping the landscape near and far. Cities cleared and built upon the land, sweeping away natural habitats and species.
