Twitter, as everyone knows, is Hell. Its most hellish aspect is a twofold, self-reinforcing contradiction: you know that you could leave at any time and you know that you will not. (Its pleasures, in this sense, are largely masochistic.) My relationship with the Web site, which has, for years now, been the platform most deeply embedded in my daily — hourly, minutely — routine, has come to feel increasingly perverse.

Snapchat has had a tumultuous year. With one tweet from a Jenner, its stock plummeted. Plus it hasn't caught on with publishers in the same way Facebook has, despite that platform's issues.
But last week, Snap, Inc., parent company of Snapchat, announced new partnerships with 25 media companies. Some of those outlets are longtime partners from the traditional publishing sphere, like CNN and NBC. Others are newer digital media darlings, like Refinery29.

Facebook has released new case studies of local publishers using Facebook Groups to connect and converse with readers, uncover interesting stories within the community and dive deeper into topics that resonate with their audiences.
The case studies are part of the Facebook Journalism Project, which it launched in 2017 to help publishers navigate their businesses in a digital world impacted by the Facebook platform.

Been quite the week, hasn't it?
In case you missed it: Last week, Panoply announced that it was getting out of the content business and, as a result, would be letting go of its entire editorial division — putting more than a few good producers out of a job — in favor of focusing solely on its "podcast hosting and ads services business," i.e. its Megaphone platform.

"I think, therefore I am," the 17th-century philosopher René Descartes proclaimed as a first truth. That truth was rediscovered in 1887 by Helen Keller, a deaf and blind girl, then 7 years of age: "I did not know that I am. I lived in a world that was a no world ... When I learned the meaning of "I" and "me" and found that I was something," she later explained, "I began to think. Then consciousness first existed for me."

For some of you, school is officially in full swing. The newness has worn off a bit, and the dreaded homework has set in. Perhaps you're already tired of it all. Officially, I am here to tell you: stay in school. School is worthwhile and our dismal public education system is what is going to destroy/has already destroyed this country. But it's true that there are lots of notable visionaries, literary and otherwise, who dropped out of school — or were kicked out — for one reason or another.

On a wet September evening in Shoreditch, East London, the editors of New Internationalist meet their magazine's new owners for the first time. The team has just completed a redesign with hip London content agency TCO, who volunteered their basement gallery for the launch. Over the roar of an industrial fan, between walls decorated with blown-up pages from the dense, bi-monthly magazine, staff chat to some of the 3,467 new co-owners.

With all of the conferences, reports, and case studies on digital subscriptions by INMA in the past year, I am struck by how similar the story arc of our industry remains:
- There is no progress on digital subscriptions without a total organizational commitment, from the board room to the newsroom.
- The seduction of acquiring subscribers culturally blinds media executives to a focus on retaining subscribers.

Ten years ago, I bristled when I accidentally overheard a neighbor comment that I didn't have a clue what I had taken on when I started to develop the lot next to our home into an ornamental garden.
After weeding every square inch of the lot on my hands and knees, I soon was having the time of my life experimenting with every plant that caught my eye. Build a 168 stone path fully edged in mondo grass? Rid my small corner of the world of smilax?

Hello, avid gardeners. You of the nonfashion-forward tan lines and roughened hands. You know who you are. Last month, while everyone else was boating, hiking and generally off enjoying the glories of our Pacific Northwest summer, you were pruning the crabapple hedge. No? Maybe that was just me. But I'm sure, like me, you're familiar with the refrain: Why do you spend so much time on "yardwork?"

The Fresno Bee
As the summer heat abates in mid-September, summer-blooming annuals and perennials start a secondary bloom cycle. In mid-September, bees resume their spring-like foraging activity levels after hanging out in the hive during summer hot spells, fanning themselves. They need to make enough honey to make it through a flowerless winter. This late-season bloom cycle is critical to the health and vigor of our native California bees as well as European honey bees.
