What's new?

The Times Educational Supplement has launched a number of key upgrades to its TES Digital app, introducing a personalised 'My TES' feed and more.

The app has a digital circulation of over 15,000 people, which outranks popular titles such as Top Gear, GQ, Empire and Time magazine.

Just a week after the launch of Apple News in the US, how have publishers fared and what is the outlook for the illusive Apple News Format?

Last Thursday, Page Lizard led a Tech Talk at the PPA Headquarters in London as a follow-up to the previous session introducing News and its implications for the industry.

This is the announcement from Google we've all been waiting for. "Accelerated mobile pages" are the tech giant's answer to Facebook's Instant Articles and Apple News, and they're partnering with Twitter to launch it.

There's been no official word from either company yet, but "Accelerated mobile pages" has been created to solve the same problem as their rival's projects: the frustrating load times of publisher's websites on mobile devices. The goal will eventually be to develop a universal standard for publishers who push content to the web.

Google have announced a significant restructure, creating Alphabet as a giant umbrella company to host its smaller divisions.

Google itself will retain Search, Android, YouTube, Ads, Maps and Apps, as well as most of its technical infrastructure. The changes come with the management of the spin-off divisions, like the auto-driving cars, Google Glass, Calico and the business and investment funds. These will (if they haven't already) gain their own CEO's, and will be able to operate largely independently of Google, allowing the slimmed-down company to focus on what it does best.

If you're catching up with the weekend's media news over a cup of coffee, we doubt you'll have missed the latest gaffe from TIME magazine. Their latest cover features Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus - pioneers in all things virtual reality.
