Search ArticlesTelegram’s founder, Pavel Durov, is now on an international wanted list
Russia charged Pavel Durov, the founder, owner and CEO of the messaging app Telegram, with aiding terrorism and put him on an international wanted list, the country’s main domestic security agency said Wednesday.

As its new bikes launch in the Bay Area, Lyft’s bikeshare ambitions are going global
The casual bikeshare rider in San Francisco could be forgiven for not actually knowing who is behind the service they’re using. Since 2019, the region’s Bay Wheels program—along with a few dozen other bike share systems around the world—has been run by Lyft. Better known for its rideshare service which helped it make $1.6 billion in revenue in 2025, the company has spent the past decade or so diverging from its main competitor, Uber, by narrowing in on the global bike share market.
Inflation is still high. Will it be enough for the Fed to raise its benchmark rate?
Federal Reserve policymakers are losing patience with inflation, but they may not be ready to turn their frustration into action — not this week anyway.

Until now, my only real option has been to scroll through thumbnails of dresses or fiddle with standard category filters. But there’s something new on Alice + Olivia’s site: a “Shop with AI” option. I give it a shot, describing how I need a dress that is chic, polished, and comfortable enough to sit on stage in.

92% of wealthy Americans are changing their financial plans because of this trend—and it’s reshaping how founders exit
As the average life span increases, entrepreneurs are able to run their businesses for an even longer period of time. However, this shift can make deciding when—and whether—to leave considerably harder. In a recent survey conducted by Bank of America, 92 percent of wealthy Americans said longevity was an important factor in their financial planning. And among business owners, 78% called succession planning critical to their wealth strategy. Yet, only 20% had a fully documented plan.
When bots become the audience
If you’ve been following the SourceCode blog for any length of time (and if not, whatcha waiting for?), you’ll know that we’ve been talking about what AI search means for public relations pros since well before it was fashionable to do so.

Why More Companies Are Designing for Human Moments, Not Just Fixing Problems
In today’s competitive landscape, I’m seeing leaders begin to make customer experience a more central part of their products and services. This reflects a shift from offering purely practical items to ones that also carry emotional or experiential value. Yes, people still need utilitarian items. However, they’re increasingly interested in investing in moments.
Shift your PR strategy for the changed media landscape
I’m no Bob Ross, but let me try and paint you a picture. It’s 2016. Your company’s public relations agency has a killer strategy for an upcoming funding announcement. Their media list includes some traditional newspapers, radio, broadcast television, a handful of industry trades, and a few regional business journals.
