Major Media Content Experiment Ends

We will no longer be adding major media content, such as news from the Associated Press, alongside our Thinker content. This will result in the elimination of the "News" content type.

Going forward, we will focus exclusively on Thinker Blogs, Articles, Topics, and Ebooks. Visit our CEO's blog for the thinking behind this change. We want to thank the people of the Associated Press who were very supportive of our ideas and a pleasure to work with.
