When people who read magazines read an article in a magazine, I don't imagine they know how much the writer was paid. As consumers, we aren't responsible for what workers make; market competition and minimum wage laws take care of that. So, as long as we pay for our purchases and we pay our taxes, we've done our part. We assume there's some rationale to the pricing of labor, with industries coalescing around sensible rates that increase over time according to inflation and productivity.

To highlight new ambient lighting in its forthcoming 2017 models, Lexus once asked for print ads that would evoke the feature by lighting up themselves.

Back in 2010, a young Mark Zuckerberg told lawmakers that Facebook would always be free. Eight years later, a more grown-up Zuckerberg updated his stance to Congress, saying "There will always be a version of Facebook that is free."
That statement leaves open the possibility that Facebook will someday offer a paid version — perhaps one without ads and the ensuing data scandal that has Zuckerberg testifying in front of lawmakers right now.

That doesn't just mean listing your resume on LinkedIn and or liking the same interests as your boss on Facebook.

A group of journalists have decided to do something about the diminution of newsrooms at the local level. They're making reporting part of a national service program.
Report for America, a nonprofit organization modeled after AmeriCorps, aims to install 1,000 journalists in understaffed newsrooms by 2022. Now in its pilot stage, the initiative has placed three reporters in Appalachia. It has chosen nine more, from 740 applicants, to be deployed across the country in June.
