Oath is coming. The combination of AOL and Yahoo is going be like untangling Christmas lights -- only with ad tech assets. The risk is the combined entity will just fall further behind Google and Facebook.

Le Monde turns its nose up at stooping to Kardashian-level content on Snapchat Discover. Instead, it has turned Snapchat into a fake-news literacy program during the run-up to the French election.

Media is all hard, all the time. The Times of London is looking to drive subscriptions through niche Facebook pages. One on Brexit has just 150 members, but the Times sees it as an opportunity to build up a closer relationship that will end up in subscriptions.

Leave it to advertisers. Burger King is running a TV ad that purposefully has the command "OK Google" to set off Google Home to read the Whopper Wikipedia entry. Clever or infuriating? Both?

Bloomberg is rolling out a live gadget show on Facebook, among other platforms. Facebook Live hasn't yet taken off, but that hasn't stopped many media outlets from trying tech shows.

Reminder: The Digiday Video Anywhere Summit is coming up from May 17-19 in New Orleans. Come hear execs from Mashable, The New York Times, The Weather Channel and more.

This webinar will help you to tackle some of 2017's biggest challenges in search advertising. Sponsored by Marin Software.

On Snapchat, the approach is more educational, with Le Monde’s […]

The Times of London is wooing subscribers via a Brexit Facebook group

Lucinda Southern

“It's about shortening the gap between those doing the reporting and the readers who we eventually want to make subscribers.”

On Facebook, live tech shows are hot

Max Willens

Publishers have live tech video fever. On Wednesday, Bloomberg Technology reporter Mark Gurman will debut "Gadgets with Gurman," a product-focused show that will feature Gurman showing viewers tips and hacks that get help them get the most out of a product.

Question of the Day: Is autoplay video's cardinal sin?

Sponsored Content Parse.ly

We sat down with Freddie Godfrey, director of content syndication at Newsy, to talk about the much maligned format. His advice? Publishers should let user behavior rather than simple view-counts be their guide. By understanding what the audience is looking for on every page publishers can make smart choices about how to best deliver video that works. Sponsored by Parse.ly

Question of the Day: Do publishers push too many metrics?

Sponsored Content Parse.ly

Are there too many metrics? Brands may want to see every detail, but agencies with their varied priorities often need a sherpa to guide them through the treacherous peaks and passes of media metrics. We sat down with Samantha Skey, CRO of SheKnows, at the Digiday Publishing Summit in Vail, Colorado for a fireside chat about how publishers can help their partners navigate a path through the whiteout data conditions of a metrics blizzard.
