When Hannah Wise moved into an editing role at the Dallas Morning News a few years ago, she knew she needed to figure out how to better present her work at hannahmwise.com.
It's a common challenge for many journalists. There are many roles in journalism that don't lend themselves to traditional clips packages — editors, strategists, engagement producers, product managers.

The Millions
If you have ever been in a writing workshop, especially of the MFA variety — and good for you if you haven't — you are likely familiar with the most dreaded response a piece of writing can get. It can be phrased in a variety of ways, sometimes hedged and mealymouthed and sometimes forthrightly insulting, but it is essentially this: Why is this story being told? It's a curious criticism.

Medium
At the Fort Collins Coloradoan, we've been a Trusting News partner for three years. Over the course of the project, we've focused on several strategies — from labeling our stories, to showing our personality, to explaining how we are different from "the media" as an overall entity.
The most rewarding aspect for me always is when we can put several of those strategies in action to combat a problem — and really make a difference.

If you can't remember the last time you saw a teenager reading a book, newspaper or magazine, you're not alone. In recent years, less than 20 percent of U.S. teens report reading a book, magazine or newspaper daily for pleasure, while more than 80 percent say they use social media every day, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.

A convincing and polished, yet entirely fake, advertising campaign under the slogan, "Don't Believe Every Tweet," made the rounds recently, fooling tech critics and reporters into thinking Twitter had launched a marketing effort centered on its own inability to police fake and misleading information. The company confirmed to The Verge that it has nothing to do with the campaign.

Call 2018 the "Year of Deplatforming." The internet was once celebrated for allowing fresh new voices to escape the control of gatekeepers. But this year, the internet giants decided to slam the gates on a number of people and ideas they don't like. If you rely on someone else's platform to express unpopular ideas, especially ideas on the right, you're now at risk. This raises troubling questions, not only for free speech but for the future of American politics and media.

What belongs on Facebook? It's a central question in our current reckoning over social media, and given the vastness of the company's platform, it can be exceedingly difficult to answer. "Fake news is not your friend," the company says — but you can still post as much as you want. Alex Jones' conspiracy theories, which inspired years of harassment against the parents of Sandy Hook shooting victims, were fine until they suddenly weren't.

319. That's the number of discrete advertisements, both online and off, served to me over the course of one Tuesday in July. I know because I counted each and every one.
Why catalog the informational noise that, in many cases, our brains have quite literally trained themselves to ignore? Hidden in plain sight, ad money is the invisible force that subsidizes many of the services we depend on — especially online, where keeping up with friends, reading the news, or streaming music is ostensibly "free."

The Vortex Garden, which is inspired by crop circles and the Fibonacci sequence, features complex designs and shapes throughout the grounds. More than one hundred egg-shaped stepping stones surround the house, crop circle pentagrams and pictographs dot the garden, while cerebral architecture — such as the copper Flowform — feature a vortex. It's said the Vortex Garden is a pantheistic permaculture garden.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram
I'm focusing on lawns for the second week in a row because it's a topic that's on everyone's mind all through the gardening year. It's also because I want another springboard to remind you to apply pre-emergent weedkiller granules the last week of August or the first week of September (that's now!) to prevent germination of winter and early spring weeds. You must apply Dimension, Halts or Balan now to stop germination of annual bluegrass, rescuegrass and ryegrass.

At the start of summer, I thought I would put aside my disdain for amaranth — so coarse, so Victorian — and grow whole stands of it so that I might condescend to change my view of this seedy annual.
Instead, the amaranth spurned me. No wonder people also call it love-lies-bleeding. The tiny black grains of amaranth seed germinated in their pots, but they never seemed to develop beyond a nascent stage, to a point where I could transplant them.
