- “Facebook to Curb Internal Debate Over Sensitive Issues Amid Staff Discord” from The Wall Street Journal
- “Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to give state Capitol speech Wednesday” from the Wisconsin State Journal
- “Yelp data shows 60% of business closures due to the coronavirus pandemic are now permanent” from CNBC
