  • The Economist Espresso app offers a global news briefing round-up and five briefing-style articles a day.
  • In this week’s Digiday+ Media Briefing, media editor Kayleigh Barber interviews The Atlantic’s Nicholas Thompson about the state of the publisher’s subscription business.
  • Guitar Center has shifted its focus, moving ad dollars to more digital than traditional channels to show up where hopeful musicians are spending their time.
