Curation has become one of the biggest talking points among adtech professionals and digital marketers in 2025. In digital advertising, curation refers to the selection and packaging of specific, high-quality ad inventory, making it easier for advertisers to buy media that’s brand safe, targeted, and effective.

It’s cliche now to say that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has changed everything, but it’s also inescapably true. AI is so deeply entrenched in our everyday lives that it has paradoxically become almost invisible – a recent report by Reddit, GroupM and WPP found that only 1 in 6 consumers can often tell when they’re using […]
Disagreement and uncertainty are common features of everyday life. They’re also common and expected features of scientific research.

The local news crisis has led to no end of policy proposals, funding initiatives and angry denunciations of the harm done to journalism by the likes of Craigslist, Google and Facebook. Ideas for responding to the crisis include paying recent journalism school graduates with state tax revenues to cover underserved communities, as in California; mandating that […]
For the journalism industry, 2024 is off to a brutal start. Most spectacularly, the Los Angeles Times recently slashed more than 20% of its newsroom.
