Theme of today’s links: giving old media standbys a ~twist~ with new formats:
We’ve got a Argentinean fact-checking site that turns fact checks into GIFs, BuzzFeed putting out a not-so-typical holiday gift guide as a newsletter (with e-commerce enabled!), and resident data bae Quartz selling “sponsored data points” as part of its new branded content offerings.
Unrelated, but: this trippy af short story from this month’s Atlantic is a must-read. Anyone else kind of miss when fiction was a mainstay in all the big magazines not named The New Yorker? Or am I just not subscribing (er, copying links & pasting them in Incognito windows) to the right ones??
