This was a year of great consternation and great exuberance, marked indelibly by the revelations about wide and unregulated surveillance by the NSA, brought by Edward Snowden. And the exuberance came in a return to heady dot-com days with the Twitter IPO, an amazing “look ma, no profits!” way of raising billions of dollars from the public. And in between, publishers turned to controversial native ads, and tech billionaires such as Jeff Bezos and Pierre Omidyar threw their hat in the ring of reinventing the news. We’ve taken a deeper look at the big news in digital media for 2013. We hope you’ll enjoy our series.
