Over the past four years, Calacanis's latest company Inside has built out a roster of email newsletters, and they're doing well enough that the company plans to launch one a week this year, for a total of between 60 and 70 newsletters by the end of 2017.

Live to Write — Write to Live
I've been thinking about habits a lot lately.
What is a habit?
How do we create "good" habits?
How do we get rid of "bad" habits?

Christopher Ali thinks that the doom-and-gloom narrative of newspaper journalism in the digital age is incomplete. In fact, he says, that narrative isn't even half the story.

Ali is an assistant professor of media studies at the University of Virginia and a Tow Fellow at Columbia Journalism School.
