Adweek / Mark Stenberg [The newsletter-based publisher Puck has roughly 20,000 paid subscribers →]( In its first year, the 25-person company has accrued nearly 200,000 email subscribers and 20,000 pay $12.99 per month or $100 per year for access to all its reporting.

Dance and Megan Twohey [Bill outlawing online suicide assistance would hold tech companies and websites hosting the content liable too →]( “As the trail of suicides connected to the site grows longer — The Times has since identified dozens more deaths, including several young teenagers — no one involved has faced legal consequences.

They’ve also launched a seemingly endless array of conservative news sites, from the Daily Caller to Breitbart to Gateway Pundit.” New York Times / Brian X. Chen [The New York Times: “Personal tech has changed. So must our coverage of it.” →]( “When our tech editor, Pui-Wing Tam, and I started Tech Fix in 2015, we focused on what we felt people would care about the most: the frustrating issues created by their technology, and how to solve them … Going forward, Tech Fix will be taking a different direction: zooming out to grapple with tech’s impact on society and ways we can stay in control.” Current / Julian Wyllie [A “true crime for toddlers” podcast is part of a public media accelerator to make more programming for kids →]( “Daycare Detectives Inc.” narrates clues that include a trail of “crayon crumbs.” Twitter / Paul Farhi [There hasn’t been a single story confirming “rainbow fentanyl” appeared in trick-or-treat candy anywhere in the U.S. →]( Paul Farhi [previously reported]( about news orgs publishing 1,500+ “rainbow fentanyl” stories in the two months before Halloween, most warning that dealers could slip this drug to trick-or-treating kids.
