If you're anything like me in the garden, each act — pruning a rose, weeding a flower bed, deadheading the annuals — supplies its own metaphor. "Cut the dead wood out," your brain says with glee, as you actively do just that. I remember struggling with grass in a flowerbed — as you do — and imagining myself a dictator trying to "root out" the resistance. "But it's a grassroots movement," my imaginary underling whined, "We'll never get it all." Grass is tenacious.

Local newspapers have always been the epicenter of local news ecosystems. While communities may have other sources of journalism, such as TV and radio stations and online-only outlets, the bulk of the reporting serving local communities has traditionally been provided by local newspapers.

The digital news industry in the United States is facing a complex future. On one hand, a steadily growing portion of Americans are getting news through the internet, many U.S. adults get news on social media, and employment at digital-native outlets has increased. On the other, digital news has not been immune to issues affecting the broader media environment, including layoffs, made-up news and public distrust.

We're increasingly relying on artificial intelligence to automate elements of our daily lives, from issuing reminders to follow-up with important work tasks to regulating the temperature of our homes. Already, automation has started to take over jobs in the manufacturing sector, and with the explosion of AI on the near horizon, millions of people are worried their jobs, too, could be taken by a sufficiently sophisticated machine (or algorithm).

Groundbreaking legislation passed by California lawmakers has been lauded for its potential to transform the way tech companies such as Uber and Lyft treat their drivers — but those aren't the only workers who stand to benefit. The bill, known as AB5, will go into effect in January 2020. It sets a three-part standard for determining whether workers are properly classified as independent contractors.

Go back only 10 years and digital subscriptions to news sites and apps at Schibsted amounted to pretty much nothing. In 2020, it is an anticipated $100 million business.
A decade ago, news media companies around the world applied "free" as a strategy. Free content was expected to drive frequency, which would drive interactions with ads and capture more data to monetize on in the advertising business.

On April 23, a federal judge in Oregon blocked the enforcement of a new rule banning abortion referrals at taxpayer-funded women's health clinics. The next morning, Apple News featured coverage of the decision by The Hill, a national outlet, rather than the local newspaper, The Oregonian. The Oregonian had even published its story first — The Hill article linked back to it — just not in the proprietary format that Apple News requires.

Americans give a "thumbs up" to news reporters using social media to interact with their audiences, but they prefer that reporters use it to correct the record or give greater depth on the stories they are reporting, instead of expressing their opinions about the news. A new Gallup/Knight Foundation survey finds 74% of U.S. adults saying it is generally a "good idea" for news reporters to interact via social media, with 25% describing it as a "bad idea."

Senior executives from seven major newspaper publishing companies will head to Capitol Hill to convince lawmakers to do something about the dominance of tech companies over content creators, executives tell Axios.
This will be just the second time that the newspaper industry has sent members to formally lobby members of Congress. It speaks to the major increase in lobbying efforts that the newspaper industry has used in recent years to combat the economic decline of its industry.

Children and gardens have been a common theme throughout literature. From "Jack and the Beanstalk" to "Alice in Wonderland," "The Secret Garden" to "The Lorax," our storytellers have found beautiful and fantastical ways of emphasizing the connection between children and things that grow.
In a more real way, strengthening that connection between youngsters and the green world continues today in the blank spaces of school play yards that have been turned into school gardens.

I've been called "crazy" hundreds of times before. Like the beekeeper, I've gotten used to the stings. So I'll open the hive. I can hear them coming.
Fall is the best time to start a new perennial garden.
And the outcry comes back, "What?! How can that possibly be? Aren't we supposed to plant everything in the spring? What's this stuff about fall?"

Rosemary is a low maintenance plant that's perfectly happy in a pot on the patio or in a forgotten corner of the garden. It's a woody perennial that adapts well to containers, making it easy to move indoors if you live in a cooler climate, so you can add the fragrant leaves to your cocktails or cooking all year long.
There are many varieties of rosemary. Some are culinary, and some are better for landscaping.
