From Nov. 23: Can the presidential election result be blamed on failed algorithms? Facebook had taken the brunt of that claim in the days of shock following Donald Trump's election.

From Jan. 8: The reign of the consumer magazine — glossy, beautiful, and once a ubiquitous presence atop living room coffee tables around the world — seems to be quietly crumbling.
