Daily Internet Fix: July 20

Food for thought:

Today’s edition of the Knight Science Journalism Tracker does an excellent job of rounding up the various articles and special sections about Apollo 11 that have run these past few days. In addition, the tracker asks: with all the coverage happening during this anniversary, how can we top it for the 50th anniversary? Is it smart to go this far out this time?
