X announced a new long-form post format called Articles today.
The feature, which is only available to Premium+ subscribers and verified organizations, lets users publish posts with text formatting, other X posts, and embedded videos and images — akin to a post on a WordPress-like content management system or an article on Medium.

Musk has long pushed creators like MrBeast and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson to post on X directly.
MyHeritage announced today that it’s launching OldNews.com, a new website that offers access to thousands of historical newspapers, mainly from the 1800s and 1900s.

At launch, the website includes newspapers from publications across the U.S., Canada, U.K., Austria, the Netherlands, and Australia.
“Historical newspapers contain a wealth of information and provide an unparalleled level of detail about the past,” said MyHeritage CEO and founder Gilad Japhet in a press release.
“We are launching OldNews.com to serve as our focal point for historical newspapers, with a robust content offering.
