Reporters used to be dead-set against paywalls, but the pressures facing their industry are leading to a culture shift within newsroom.

Artificial intelligence is a hot field in the U.S., but even hotter in China, which is emerging as a hotbed for AI talent and research.

Facebook had its way with media in 2017, but 2018 is shaping up as a big test of whether Facebook can live up to its video ambitions, in particular with its effort to build long-form programming.

According to Digiday Research, most publishers aren't even aware if they're on an advertiser blacklist over brand-safety concerns. (Digiday+ membership required)

Facebook took a ton of heat in 2017 over fake news, leading some to ponder whether the new year will mean Facebook inching away from the news part of the News Feed.

Reminder: Start 2018 with a membership to Digiday+, our membership program featuring exclusive content, Digiday magazine, original industry research, exclusive events and more. Subscriptions cost $395 annually. Check out the details.
