After decades of declining trust in the press, coupled with relentless rhetorical attacks on the media by President Trump, there's finally some good news: Trust in media is up since last year, and the great majority of Americans trust their local news sources.
The new Poynter Media Trust Survey found 76 percent of Americans across the political spectrum have "a great deal" or "a fair amount" of trust in their local television news, and 73 percent have confidence in local newspapers.

The study found that personal email use is up by 17 percent from this time last year, more than a quarter of those surveyed check their personal email from bed when they wake up and a whopping 85 percent check it before getting to work.

A strong social media following coupled with great content is a recipe for success. But if you don't plan on hiring a social media management company to keep up with regular updates, engage with followers and monitor analytics, it can be a very daunting task that takes up a lot of your time. And in today's instant-gratification-induced environment where it's already tough to disconnect and be present in real-life moments, constantly publishing social media posts can create an even further disconnect.

Continuing its charm offensive with news publishers, Facebook has been testing a tool with five publishers including BuzzFeed to help them improve their reach on the platform.
The organic content testing tool lets publishers test up to four versions of a piece of content, with variations in elements like headline, description and image, in real time — something publishers would otherwise have to pay for by boosting a post.

Print isn't dead. But the soaring cost of newsprint is contributing to the slow death of America's newspapers.
A months-long spike in the price of paper, driven by federal tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on Canadian suppliers, is slamming newspapers at a time when the news about the news industry wasn't very good to begin with.

Google unveiled its open-source Accelerated Mobile Pages format in 2016 to improve the mobile web by making pages load faster (and match Facebook's own fast Instant Articles format).

From a purely commercial perspective, user traffic is the main resource produced by digital news publishers. Most established news publishers mainly convert this resource into revenues by selling advertising and exposing their own paid-for journalism to potential subscribers.
However, even though today's two-sided revenue model is the best point of departure for converting traffic into revenues, it has built-in inefficiencies.

Five young children, all of Chinese descent, stood posing in front of the tall bamboo trees at the entrance to the New York Chinese Scholar's Garden, in Staten Island's Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden. It was a sunny weekend afternoon, and they were all smiles as their mothers took photographs of them.
"OK, let's go in," said Janet Liang, the mother of three of the children, when she was done.

Recently, we stopped by the San Francisco Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park. While the garden is in close proximity to the Richmond District, we bet there are a lot of residents who have never stepped through the gates to explore this vast garden full of plant life from around the globe.
The garden is on the southern side of Golden Gate Park, and spans 55 acres with entrances near 9th Avenue and Lincoln in the Sunset, and on MLK Drive inside the park near the Music Concourse.
