Sunday Digest: Platforms, Publishers, and...Politics

Hello and Happy Sunday!

If you peek below, you may notice that this week’s index is a bit…Spartan. That’s partly because we’re rethinking the Digest — how it should look, what it should contain — and partly because there’s one category that’s particularly pertinent this week (well, unless you’re the founder of Soylent).

This probably isn’t the first place you’ll read about the election today. But whether you’re tiring of hearing how important voting is, or if you’re the one saying it to everyone you know, one simple, cheesy thing is true: voting is a way to make yourself heard.

Why mention any of that? The theme of the individual voice — particularly in contrast to larger, collective noise — runs through today’s Digest.
