- In Pomfret, Vermont: The Fall Foliage Town That Banned Influencers, Suzanne Podhaizer reports how the rural community defended itself against the hashtaggers taking over the town.
- In For Annie Leibovitz, an Opportunity to Work and Build on the Past (gift link), Laurel Graeber reviews Annie Leibovitz at Work, a show of about 300 photographs at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Ark.
