Concerning your first point, granted I'm not familiar with each internal guidelines, and overall it may very well be what you describe but just to give an example that's not totally inconceivable, I routinely observe New Yorker st

I really think that for instance on a piece of investigative journalism whose the main author would be a journalist from say wapo, I've hard time thinking this person would decline an invitation to speak about and promote his/her

I still like and often listen The Daily but more and more I'm annoyed by the sort of insularity or kind of NIH syndrom of this program. By that I mean almost all the guests are from the NYT and whatever the story is, few credits are gi

There is a saying: - Better diet makes you lose weight; - More exercise helps you maintain your weigh loss. Also I think it is important to be careful when starting exercising to not make too much too soon. It is more important to

This year in France, Coca Cola reduced the standard size of their bottles from 1.5L to 1.25L while keeping the same price. If I remember correctly the main argument was to handle a new tax on soft drinks without (overtly) increasing prices.

I have no particular sympathy for Julian Assange but to me he clearly is a political prisoner . Obviously all of this is perfectly nested under the cover of sound laws and sound verdicts in typical fashion of our western democracies to acc

Strangely I think this is the rare case where public's goal is more aligned with Apple's goal than one might think: no more labour violations, no more headlines . But... be careful what you wish for. Robots. When all iPhones are
