I like this perspective. Being seen as genuine thought leaders (as opposed to all the posers out there) is good for the brand. Running a small press is a pretty cost-efficient way of doing this. To me, it's more like Intel's days

This is a very inward-looking article. All of its seven points add to the conversation, but they seem overly focused on mechanics, rather than vision. The best editors have a uniquely good understanding of readers' aspirations, anxieti

The best science reporters earn their keep by balancing "wow!" and "really?" at moments like this. Sometimes it's a matter of spotting an outright hoax (i.e. Piltdown Man fossils in the 1920s.) Other times, what&#x2

In our household, we make a fair number of restaurant reservations at 11:30 p.m. . . . and some more at 9 a.m. (Two-career couple; hard to align schedules, etc.) Online services like Open Table don't mind this at all. By contrast, rest
