A Message From the Editor Like a lot of other people the past couple of days, I’ve been glued to the news, particularly around the Brett Kavanaugh hearing. But when I say “the news,” I generally don’t mean newspapers, TV or even websites—I’m following the live updates primarily through Twitter. Social media never showed up on The Jetsons or Back to the Future, but in today’s world, I’m not sure there are any innovations in the past decade that have more dramatically changed daily life in the U.S. Of course, with any momentous change comes risk and an adjustment of expectations. For this week’s Editor’s Picks, we examine the risk and reward of focusing on social media, alongside some of our other big stories from the past week. – Zach Warren, editor-in-chief of Legaltech News |
