3.) For the first year ever, Pew Research Study reveals more people now turn to social media for news than actual newspapers.

4.) Why businesses are relying on Facebook Groups to build engaged audiences.
At the beginning of 2018, Facebook switched up its algorithm in an attempt to "fix" the News Feed by promoting more posts from family and friends and demoting content from businesses, brands and media. The move actively distanced brands from their followers on the platform by limiting exposure to organic content posted by businesses. At first glance, the only solution for brands was to invest more in their Facebook ad campaigns, but some businesses have found an alternative to connect with their audience by building vibrant Facebook Group communities.

5.) Instagram Strips Out Fake 'Likes' Tied to 3rd-Party Apps
Instagram has begun to remove inauthentic engagement with accounts that used third-party apps to grow their follower count and engagement on the platform — a practice that violates the app's community guidelines and terms of use.

3.) Hunger Among Senior Citizens is Serious Problem
The period of life known as "the golden years" is often more bleak than bright for a lot of senior citizens in the United States. Nearly 5 million seniors citizens currently deal with hunger in the U.S., according to Feeding America, a nonprofit organization that focuses its efforts on hunger relief.

4.) Perennials, Not Millennials, Will Trigger the Next Wave of Talent Retention Efforts
Headlines in recent years have trumpeted workplace changes demanded by millennials, from nap pods to flexible scheduling to student-loan repayment. But there is another fundamental shift in workforce demographics. Older workers — or "perennials," as this cohort has sometimes been called — are now the fastest-growing population of workers, with twice as many seniors as teenagers currently employed in the US.

3.) Research Shows 1 in 5 Museums Do Not Provide Online Access Information and are Inadvertently Contributing to a "Disability Engagement Gap"
Museum websites are key tools for providing visitor access information, and the absence of this contributes to the 'disability engagement gap'; where people with a disability are less likely to be regular or frequent visitors of museums than those who are not disabled.
