I feel like this should have crossed my eyeballs on this list ... from Tom or someone. If so, I'm sorry for the duplicate and my inattention:

These local newspapers say Facebook and Google are killing them. Now they’re fighting back.

I subscribe to our local McClatchy paper: The Olympian. And, as in beer, I'm torn between a truly local paper vs. one owned by some far-flung corporation. Even linking to Imperialist Bezos' WaPo, here, irritates me. But there's only so much attention I can give to such. Jim Rutt's recent interview of Tristan Harris was interesting mostly because of the underlying principle that eyeballs matter. Harris did a good job of staying on track in spite of Rutt's attempt to splatter the thread. >8^D Regardless, *can* we consciously choose where our eyeballs go? Is that simply more, ad nauseum, free will nonsense?
