Greetings, hacks and hackers! If you missed the MisinfoCon gathering last week in DC, check out the hashtag for some of the best tidbits:

Happening this week:

• Nigeria is holding open labs in Abuja and Lagos
• Miami and IRE are holding their regular open labs
• Miami is hosting a lecture on the future of Google advertising

Worth a read:

• Texas Monthly is asking readers who use an ad-blocking service to either subscribe to its newsletter or whitelist its site. Though the experiment is ongoing, there has been a slight decline in the number of its readers using ad-blocking services (Lenfest)
• The New York Times rolled out a new feature on its app called “Your Feed” which allows readers to follow specific topics and journalists (NiemanLab)
• Kuang Keng Kuek Ser, a Hacks/Hackers organizer in Malaysia, is committed to spreading data journalism across Southeast Asia (GIJN)

Texas Monthly has an interesting approach to blocking adblockers: Either sign up for its email newsletter or whitelist the site. I like also that they make clear that they don't sell third-party ads. pic.twitter.com/2RxhVtzOH2
