An estimated 400,000 flowering plant species exist in the world, and, understandably, it can be difficult to keep track.

For more than 20 years, local news organizations around the globe have been trying to make a go of it in the new digital economy. And most, as we read day after day, are still struggling. Layoffs are constant, bankruptcies common, and storied local brands face uncertain futures. This has fueled low morale and heightened cynicism in many local newsrooms. In fact, when the subject turns to local news, we're more likely to hear what isn't possible than what is.

When I was 4 years old, for reasons no one in my Italian-American family can explain, I picked up my older brother's book and I read it. All these years later, I can still see the writing on the first page: "Look! Look!" I can still remember the thrill I felt when I realized I was reading. I had one thought that day: I want to live inside a book. In many ways, that's exactly what I did. In fact, I read my way through most of my life.

Though various sources have reported a decline in e-book sales for traditional publishers in 2015 compared to 2014, no one has come up with a clear reason for the drop. To gain some insight into the trend, the Codex Group devoted a recent survey of book buyers's shopping preferences to looking more deeply into the question.
The book market has taken a different path from the music and home video markets, where research from industry associations shows that consumers continued to increase digital spending last year.

In reading DBW's recent interview with Hugh Howey, I was surprised that he never mentioned audiobooks even though he obviously believes in the format. Howey has 37 audiobook titles on Audible.com, and he published at least 16 of them personally.
Howey's remarks about Amazon made me think about the company's tremendous influence on the audiobook market.

There is an elephant in the newsroom. And it's a big elephant.
It is the obvious lack of cooperation between newsrooms and business units, and we all prefer not to talk about it. It's everywhere in legacy media: in print, in radio, in television.
At conferences, I see business people of all sorts speak these two words in hushed voices, rolling their eyes: "The newsroom." They won't innovate. They distrust us. They are blocking our projects.

My head is spinning with container design ideas after spending a week touring Southern California for the California Spring Trials courtesy of the National Garden Bureau. I was treated to a buffet of new plants to ogle day after day, many that were new to me for 2017 and many that were familiar.

The decline of print, the growing use of smartphones and social media, and the rise of ad blockers are changing the way we get our news.
