  • The “new newsroom” is being created one reporter at a time – Nieman Journalism Lab: "PR whiz Steve Rubel says he looks a lot like Peter Abraham, who is not some vaporware demo from 2015, but a flesh-and-blood reporter covering the Yankees spring training camp in Florida right now."

  • Facebook’s Users Ask Who Owns Their Information – NYTimes.com: "Mark Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Facebook, said in a blog post on Monday that the philosophy 'that people own their information and control who they share it with has remained constant.'
