People are becoming disenchanted with Facebook for news. The "Trump bump" appears to be sustaining itself. And younger people are more likely to donate money to a news organization than older people.
These are some of the findings from a big new report out Thursday from Oxford's Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism. The Reuters Institute's Digital News Report for 2018 surveyed more than 74,000 people in 37 countries about their digital news consumption.

Twitter Inc. plans to more aggressively suggest real-time events such as natural disasters and sporting events for people to follow, its latest stab at helping users sort through the vast amounts of information on the social network.
The company is creating destinations for news events that will include curated tweets and videos. It will steer people to the pages based on what they tweet about and what people they follow, jostling for their attention by tapping them on the virtual shoulder to point out news.

On any given day, it's not unlikely for Tom Sly, VP of revenue, national media, at The E.W. Scripps Co., to hop on the phone with one of the company's many contacts at Google. It could be someone from the ad side who's helping the local broadcaster improve its programmatic ad yield; comb through its audience to see what its heaviest users are interested in; or make video ads play smoothly on Newsy, Scripps' OTT news channel.

Some essays are letters into the future. "The Prevention of Literature" is one such essay, and today I'd like to respond to it from 2018.
Orwell argues that totalitarianism makes literature impossible. By literature, he means all kinds of writing in prose, from imaginative fiction to political journalism; he suggests that verse might slip through the cracks.

Confession: I've been trying to finish a screenplay for almost a year. I have an outlet for it, it can help my career — I'm just terrified it'll be crap. So here I am, picking at the thing, crippling my prospects instead of making it happen. It's Writer's Block. And fear. And a big damn problem. I think this video game might be my solution.
Elegy for a Dead World is a game we've written about but never played before.

We all know how the saying goes: never judge a book by its cover. As broad-stroke life advice, it works. But readers rarely follow it when deciding which books to buy. If a book's cover art involves human models, the author may be on especially slippery ground. The perfect-looking people speak to someone, but to whom? Common wisdom advises authors to broadcast genre and win new readers through halting visuals.

Thanks to Santa Barbara's mild Mediterranean climate, the region nourishes many kinds of plants from around the world, creating a profusion of beautiful and unusual gardens. Santa Barbara is home to estates that embrace Spanish-Moorish styles, prize rose gardens, botanic gardens of native California plants and exotic collections. One of the most reliable things about Mother Nature is that she doesn't hold a grudge and bounces back after disasters.

When you're standing on the shores of the one, mostly consistent dry spot on the island of Kauai at 6 a.m. to shoot a time-lapse, and you look in front of you and see a big, multi-color rainbow suddenly appear in front of you, you know you're somewhere really magical.
Kauai is aptly called the Garden Island because of the lush greenery that peeks out all over the tiny area, which has just over 70,000 full-time residents. It rains here. A lot.

Way up in the northwest stretches of the Bronx, tucked between two major thoroughfares, you'll find 28 acres of a precious New York City amenity: quiet.
That's about three Washington Square Parks of near silence, or a Hudson Yards-size peaceful place, which might not sound like that much. But once summer descends on New York, and its inhabitants swarm the city's parks with blankets and bare skin, it's hard to find even five square feet of it.
