It doesn't matter what your business does, you should have a public place to share your company's logo, product imagery, short descriptions, etc. so people like me can easily include it in magazines like Offscreen. 🙂 You can just dump it all into a Dropbox folder or you could use a handy service like PRKit.

Sean Blanda explains how the media world is interested in keeping us divided: "[We] are being played against one another because our media consumption is reinforcing the idea that we’re more different than alike. Because that’s what shares. Because that’s what builds their social media reach. Because that’s what results in better scale for native and programmatic advertising. Because news outlets have to do this to survive."

Former Kickstarter CEO Yancey Strickler (whom we interviewed in Offscreen issue 13) with a short opinion piece on how our trust in each other is eroding: "An ideal approach trusts others enough to not demand trust in return. It acknowledges the importance of trust without trying to commoditize it. It promotes good decisions, not fear."
