Online publishers are facing a chatbot calamity.
AI tools from companies like Google and OpenAI are replacing traditional web searches, starving news sites of traffic. Similarweb data reported by The Wall Street Journal shows that HuffPost 's organic search traffic fell by just over half in the past three years, and by nearly that much at The Washington Post.
Business Insider, which laid off 21 percent of its staff last month, also saw its organic search traffic decline by 55 percent between April 2022-2025 according to Similarweb.

The 20 Richest Places In Indiana, New Census Data Shows
Many of the top wealthiest cities in Indiana lie in the radius of suburbs around Indianapolis. Where other states in the Midwest have struggled with population decline, Indiana has held strong. Back in 2000, the population of Indiana was a little over a million. By 2024, the population had grown by 14%, reaching 6.92 million. As part of an ongoing series of analyses, states have been examined using the latest Census Bureau data to determine which the richest cities in the state are. For this study, the focus is Indiana. This study analyzed 976 cities — what the Census Bureau designates as 'places' — in Indiana that had complete data from the Census Bureau, in terms of their median household income, mean (average) household income, median home value, and median property taxes paid per year, to come up with a list of the 25 richest cities in the state. Read on to find out what the richest city in Indiana is, plus the top 20 wealthiest cities in the state overall. In order to compile this list of the richest cities in Indiana, we sourced key financial data from the Census Bureau's 2023 American Community Survey. Wielding these datasets, we put together a four-factor scoring system to help identify the wealthiest cities in Indiana: When analyzing the data, it is important to note that Census figures have upper limits, so there's no exact value for certain factors. For example, for median household income, the Census Bureau has an upper limit of '$250,000+'. For median home value, the upper limit is '$2,000,000+'. For median property taxes paid, the upper limit is '$10,000+'. For these reasons, the mean household income (which is the same as average household income) dataset is particularly useful. Since the Census Bureau has exact figures for it, it's an even more precise barometer of wealth. All four of these metrics were scored, added up, and then ranked by the cities' combined scores. Another aspect of the Census to point out is the Census-designated place — CDP. The Census, more or less, treats CDPs as cities — their terminology is 'place' — and so will this list of the richest cities in Indiana. So, if you see cities on this list that you see as neighborhoods or retirement communities, you're not wrong. These places happen to be treated as cities by the Census Bureau. Below, you'll find a table detailing the top 20 richest cities in Indiana and their respective dollar figures for each metric, below: The No. 1 richest city in Indiana in our ranking is Crows Nest, a town within Washington Township, due north of Indianapolis. Crows Nest is a small place, with only 28 households. This town has an occupational mix that's common to many suburbs. According to Data USA, the top three industries by employment are Professional, Scientific, & Technical Services (39.5% of the workforce), Accommodation & Food Services (18.4% of the workforce), and Health Care & Social Assistance (13.2% of the workforce). Incomes in Crows Nest are very high. The median household income here is $245,000, around triple the state median of $81,702. The average household income is even higher, at $744,021. The median home value exceeds $2 million. And property taxes are so high, the median amount paid per household is over $10,000. The No. 2 richest place is just north of the No. 1 city, and it's name is North Crows Nest, appropriately. They are almost exactly the same size, with North Crows Nest having 27 households to Crows Nest's 28 households. The median household income in North Crows Nest is above $250,000. Its average household income isn't as high as in Crows Nest: $546,926 in North Crows Nest versus $744,021 for Crows Nest. The median home value reported by the Census is well over $1.5 million. And just like in Crows Nest, the median property taxes by household is in excess of $10,000. The third richest place in Indiana is Williams Creek. This place is also due north of Indianapolis and lies in the same township, Washington Township. This town is larger than No. 1 and No. 2, being home to 164 households. The employment breakdown is comparable to Crows Nest. The top three industries include Professional, Scientific, & Technical Services (24.2% of the workforce), Health Care & Social Assistance (15.2% of the workforce), and Retail Trade (11.1% of the workforce). The median household income in Williams Creek is $218,750, while the mean household income is $372,541. Property taxes are also substantial here, costing households a median of over $10,000 per year. The median home value is reported as $1.212 million.

LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman admits what you learn during college may not matter—it's this skill that can help Gen Z land entry-level jobs
LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman says what young people learn in college isn't the most important thing in landing a job. Being able to leverage AI tools, tackle new labor market challenges, and leverage connections is more essential for Gen Z seeking employment—and his advice echoes that of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The stable career path of going to college and landing a cushy six-figure office role is being disrupted by AI. Now, LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman admits to rising college graduates that it may not even matter whether you majored in computer science or art history—connections and flexibility are the new hot commodities. 'What you should take forward from your college degree isn't necessarily the thing you learned in X-101,' Hoffman said in a recent video on his YouTube channel. 'It isn't specific degrees, specific courses, [or] even necessarily specific skills that are relevant to you.' Rather, the tech entrepreneur believes that being nimble in today's job market is a massive asset: 'It's your capacity to say, 'Hey, here is the new tool set, here's the new challenge.' That is actually what the future work's going to look like. One thing is to not focus on the degree, but to focus on how you learn and to be continually learning,' Hoffman said. 'The other part of college that's super important, that you should not forget, is that life is a team sport, not just an individual sport,' he continued. 'You can help each other.' Young job-seekers who effectively navigate the new world of work—by leveraging connections, constantly learning, and mastering AI—will have the upper hand, Hoffman concluded. And unfortunately for those saddled with debt, getting a college degree isn't the only way to develop these traits. There's no question that many Gen Zers have already had a rough start in their careers—graduating into a post-COVID way of work, with AI agents being positioned as their new coworkers. Some employers have even branded the generation as lazy and unorganized, but Hoffman thinks Gen Z has one advantage that hiring managers go crazy for. The LinkedIn cofounder said young people are part of 'generation AI': As digital natives who grew up with advanced technology at their fingertips, they are in the best position to leverage that skill. It may be Gen Z's ticket to landing a job. 'Bringing the fact that you have AI in your tool set is one of the things that makes you enormously attractive,' the 57-year-old billionaire said. It's why, despite all the noise around AI threatening to steal entry-level roles, the technology may be Gen Z's best weapon to find work. In the past month, both OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and LinkedIn chief economic opportunity officer Aneesh Raman have waved the warning flag that AI could rival junior employees. Hoffman agreed that AI may make the job search worse for young people—but recommended that Gen Z job searchers use the technology to create their own opportunities. 'AI is changing the [job] landscape, [and] may make entry-level jobs harder to get, may make employers uncertain about who they're looking for and employing,' Hoffman continued. 'Then you say, 'Well, okay, how do I use the current circumstances, the disruption, to make this better? How do I use AI to identify what possible new opportunities might be?'' Gen Z grew up thinking that doing well in college will score you a high-paying role after graduation—but that career trajectory is no longer a promise. Even Dario Amodei, CEO of AI company Anthropic, predicted that AI could eliminate roughly 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the coming years. Instead of burying their heads in the sand, young people can redirect their strategy to be a hot hiring commodity, leaders say. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been particularly outspoken on the issue; he's a huge proponent of the idea that being an AI user is a protective quality in job market disruption. 'Every job will be affected, and immediately. It is unquestionable,' Huang said at the Milken Institute's Global Conference in May. 'You're not going to lose your job to an AI, but you're going to lose your job to someone who uses AI.' This story was originally featured on
