The U.S. publishing industry generates about $30 billion of annual revenue. Despite all that money, and book coverage once being a core part of newspaper criticism, newspaper book coverage is disappearing. And when a community loses its book coverage, it creates a ripple effect. Read the story: poynter.org/business-work/…

@NFLSTROUD @TomWJones I believe Tom is now fulfilling his lifelong dream of being a combination Durante/Sinatra singer at the Tropicana in Vegas. Either that or stuck behind a desk.. 😆

During the Renaissance, people in Venice would vote by dropping little balls into an urn. The Italian word for “little ball” is ‘ballotta.’ Now any kind of secret voting, by ball, piece of paper, or voting machine, is called a ‘ballot.’

Misinformation spreads quickly during breaking news events, like what we're seeing unfold this evening. Stop before sharing posts about an alleged shooter or motive. Stop before sharing anything with unbelievable or unreported details. Wait for legit reporters to get the facts.
The Associated Press@AP

Donald Trump was whisked off the stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, after apparent gunshots rang through the crowd. In a statement, Trump said he is “fine” and is being checked at a medical facility.
