Here’s the hard truth every public relations professional needs to internalize in 2026: you are pitching into an ecosystem that is thinner, faster, more exhausted, and far less forgiving than it was even five years ago. Newsroom staffs are dwindling, beats are broader, deadlines are relentless, and journalists are expected to publish at a pace that leaves little room for hand-holding—or patience for irrelevant pitches. If you want your story ideas to land now, you must pitch smarter, not louder.

I mentioned recently that I was confused by the earnings on Medium, and then they jumped a bit — 10 cents in one day, then they stayed static again for a bit. I don’t know if it’s just what’s happening or if Medium is kind of updating all at once. Either way, I might get a payout this month, but I’m not counting on it.

This is not a post-scarcity piece In 2016, I was teaching IT at Nova Scotia Community College. That was the year AlphaGo came out. Most people didn’t know much about this until the rather breathless headlines started to hit, and even then, it didn’t mean a lot to them. So, another game, kind of like chess, but asian, was now being dominated by computers. Kind of interesting, maybe, but not something to give much thought.

Democrats are putting low and moderate homebuyers at risk by only requiring homebuying counselors to be certified and not licensed. You would not want to take stock market advice from a certified stock broker. You can mot buy a home with a certified real estate agent. Democrats have used the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act) to place low and moderate homebuyers at financial risk. In addition, Congress' funding of down payment assistance programs is causing an unearned rise in housing prices. So, Mr. HUD, it's time to make homebuying more affordable!

I do not recognize LinkedIn anymore. What used to feel like a professional community now feels like a noisy mall food court. My feed is stacked with polished “thought leadership” pieces that read like auditions for a personal brand award. My inbox is loaded with lazy copy-paste sales pitches. Most new connection requests are just thinly disguised attempts to sell me lead generation for my coaching and consulting work.
