This is a special edition of The Reader, a weekly round-up of stories you need to know from Fortune editor-in-chief Clifton Leaf.
This week, Fortune launched our special report How to Reopen, a package of stories that explores what companies are doing—and what they must do—to successfully survive the pandemic.
The great challenge for business leaders in all industries is to look beyond their immediate operational issues. One thing to consider, in fintech: America won’t be going cashless anytime soon. In retail, pop-up businesses are thriving. Across the pond, the largest film industry and cinema market in Europe is confronting a permanent shift—not just in safety, but in how viewers consume movies. Meanwhile, live golf is returning to television.
