    clockYou may have heard that Daylight Saving Time was designed for farmers to have more time to deal with their crops.

    That is incorrect: Daylight Saving Time was designed to help people attend the Nieman Lab happy hour.

    With a week’s adjustment now behind them, and early evening daylight restored, Bostonians’ bodies are perfectly primed for a gathering of journalists, technologists, business-side types, and anyone else interested in the future of news.

    Therefore, you should come have a drink with us on Monday, March 18 at 6 p.m. or so. We’re doing it again at The Field, which is in Central Square, roughly 8.2 seconds’ walk from the Central Square T stop and thus easily accessible to anyone with a Charlie Card.

    All are welcome; all Boston Phoenix employees get a free beer on me.

    These types of programs are likely to continue to come and go, as the needs of journalists and the platforms’ businesses evolve.
    That time Rupert Murdoch endorsed Jimmy Carter (no, really)
    It was the first time many Americans saw Rupert Murdoch using his news outlets to advance his interests — and a lesson in how a media mogul’s outside financial ties can taint the editorial product.
