Articles of Interest #325

Today, my friend Jill borrowed my iPhone to search something on Safari. The last website I was on was, “Yoga for break-ups” on Women’s Health. Ugh, way to see through the depths of my soul right now!

It seems that no one can balance breaking news/in-depth coverage with marketing/advertising anymore.
