Quoting from Fast Company's Cayleigh Parrish's posting yesterday:
"Don’t launch your email newsletter blindly–get a head start and learn from my successes, failures, and many experiments over the years...
...Today, newsletters are flooding inboxes. The question isn’t whether or not you should start an email newsletter; it’s how can you create a newsletter people will actually want to open?"

Poynter: "Print advertising woes are getting worse"
Quoting, in part, from Poynter's October 21 posting by Rick Edmonds:
"The first half of 2016 was financially bleak for newspaper organizations; the second may be even worse...
...The shift of a share of print budgets to various digital marketing formats continues year to year with new opportunities in video and podcasts emerging in 2016. Some stalwart print advertisers — retail stores and financial institutions — are facing digital disruption in their own industries and squeezing ad budgets...
...Pharmaceutical advertising, still heavy on TV and present in magazines, seems to have disappeared entirely from newspapers. And the political ad wave that boosts local broadcasters again has largely passed newspapers by."

Denverite: Denver's "Globeville and Swansea schools lose funding to gentrification. A city grant tries to make up the difference."
Quoting from yesterday's Denverite Chalkbeat by Melanie Asmar:
"Two elementary schools in working-class north Denver neighborhoods that are feeling the sting of gentrification will share a $120,000 grant to fund a staff member at each school to address some of the challenges facing the changing communities...Garden Place Academy, an elementary school in the adjacent Globeville neighborhood, will use its $60,000 to hire a new family liaison to encourage parents to become involved at the school."
Link to the full article.
Note: My family, including a pair of great-great grandparents made roots in Globeville after immigrating here from the Volga River area of Russia at the turn of the century (1900). The last family to make their home in Globeville died in 1994. I believe her immediate heirs sold the small home, built in 1896, on North Sherman Street for $20,000 or so, back then. The last sale recorded appears to be for $40,000 in November 2006. But...enter Denver's real estate/gentrification boom of late and current estimates ballooned to these estimated levels for the property: Redfin, $149,942; Re/Max, $172,000; Zillow, $187,447; and Trulia, $216,000. Hence, the public school gentrification crisis explained in this article.
