“I think smart aggregation is a service to readers. And we do it, too ... . Whether it's a politics page and you want Dan Balz to tell you what is he reading, what does he think are the smartest articles today on the elections or the primaries. So, I think aggregation is great ... . So I'm all for aggregation. And the more eyeballs we can get to our content, the better. We do want readers to be educated and to understand the difference between, what is a source that you can trust as opposed to just rumors out there. And the difference between just repurposing content and not crediting it.” ThinkingWantDoeTodayReadingDifferencesSourceReaderPagesSmartElectionEducatedPrimariesArticlesRumorEyeballs Author:Katharine Weymouth

“When you're reading a newspaper and you're seeing ads on the page, it's not kind of invasive. Like, it's on the page next to the article. You can look at it or not. You can turn the page when you're ready. On the internet, the ads - many of the ads - just are so controlling. They insist that you see them.” LooksKindTurnsReadingNextSeeingReadyInternetPagesNewspapersArticlesAds Author:Terry Gross

“As long as 85,000 women are raped every year and 400,000 sexually assaulted in England and Wales alone, it's hard to argue that there isn't a problem. Not to mention the fact that fewer than 1/3 of our MPs are female, that women write only 1/5 front page newspaper articles, that they're less than 1/10 of engineers and that 54,000 a year lose their jobs as a result of maternity discrimination... to name but a tiny sample of issues.

“I took my coffee into the dining room and settled down with the morning paper. A woman in New York had had twins in a taxi. A woman in Ohio had just had her seventeenth child. A twelve-year-old girl in Mexico had given birth to a thirteen-pound boy. The lead article on the woman's page was about how to adjust the older child to the new baby. I finally found an account of an axe murder on page seventeen, and held my coffee cup up to my face to see if the steam might revive me.” IfsYearsChildrenMightFacesGirlFoundGivenRoomsBoysMorningNew YorkBabyBirthPaperPagesAccountsMurderCoffeeCupsPoundsArticlesMexicoTwelveTwinsSteamTaxiOhioThirteenSeventeenCoffee CupDiningReviveNew BabyDining Rooms Book:The Magic of Shirley Jackson Source: The Magic of Shirley Jackson
