3 to read: How mobile news travels; NYT editors will pitch for digital, not for Page 1; Using email to inspire anxiety & dread

A weekly compilation of a trio of stories, videos, and data viz from the past week for people interested in the news media.

1. How mobile news travels and where it is headed
2. NYT editors won’t pitch for Page 1 any more — they will pitch for digital play.
3. OK, not about news per se, but pretty damn funny: “Just checking in.” Two writers vie for who can inspire the most anxiety and dread with their emails.
