Summary | A new breed of celebrities has emerged: social media celebrities or 'influencers' as they are called in marketing. These ordinary youths have millions of followers on Instagram, Snapchat, Musical.ly, or YouTube and are attractive to advertisers, not only because of their large following but because their fans feel personally close to them and are more likely to accept advice from them than from a distant celebrity. It is however still illegal to covertly advertise a product without notifying viewers that they are viewing sponsored content.

Summary | The LAPD has launched an app to keep citizens informed about local police matters without middle men. The app also enables users to file complaints or commendations about officers as well as direct them to the nearest police station. The LAPD decided to provide this service as a free app because many locals do not have home computers but most do have a smartphone.
