Indiana State University Dean honored as Centennial Scholar
The 100 individuals were honored by the University of Alabama to commemorate 100 years of graduate education. The 100 chosen were those the University of Alabama believed had distinguished themselves professionally and had brought honor to their institutions.
'I congratulate Dr. Daugherty on this distinguished and well-deserved achievement,' said Dr. Christopher Olsen, the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Indiana State. 'His decorated research and academic achievements have not only garnered national recognition but have been a pillar of his leadership at the Scott College of Business, which is nationally recognized as one of the best business schools in the nation.'
Dr. Daugherty earned his master's degree in advertising and public relations from the University of Alabama in 1999. Dr. Daugherty has served on the faculty of Vanderbilt University, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Akron before working with ISU. Dr. Daugherty ranks among the top 1% of marketing researchers by ResearchGate (a 25+ million-member global community), with work that has been read by more than 180,000 scientists and the top 1% of advertising researchers according to ScholarGPS, a site that classifies 30 million scientists across 55,000 institutions. He has also co-authored a textbook titled 'eMarketing: Digital Marketing Strategy' that was recognized by the Cunningham Memorial Library's Authors & Artists award from ISU.
'I am honored by this recognition, as my experience at the University of Alabama was truly a formative period for my development, and I feel tremendous gratitude for the wonderful professors who invested in me as a student,' stated Dr. Daugherty. 'When I think about the total number of people who have received graduate degrees from the university, it is humbling to be among a small number commemorated for this celebration. I have been fortunate throughout my career to have wonderful mentors who continue to influence my actions today. It is these many lessons and experiences that I draw upon in service of our students and my colleagues at Indiana State.'

This N.L. author is going 'all in' on publishing her own books
Ida Linehan Young is going "all in" with her own publishing company to publish her own stories when she wants to. Linehan Young, an award-winning author, already has a lengthy catalog of nine books published through other publishing companies, but her 10th offering — Blinders — hit store shelves under the Seaweed Publishing banner. "It gives me flexibility to publish when I want, like in my time frame. Because not many authors even do a book a year, let alone, say, have two books a year or three. So I just wanted to do something different," Linehan Young told CBC News. Linehan Young released the children's book Tilly the Too-Tall Clover earlier in 2025 through Flanker Press. Blinders and a yet to be released Christmas book are her first through Seaweed. But even without a traditional publisher, Linehan Young said she wants her books to be professionally done and hired an editor to work on Blinder. "I went all in for this one because I want it to be a success," she said. "If somebody is willing to buy your book, then you have to be willing to make it the best that it can be." Writers' Union of Canada CEO John Degen said he's seeing more authors choose a mixed model of publishing — self-publishing some titles while releasing others through a traditional publisher. "What this tells me is that this author … has gathered a really strong readership around her and can take her business out on her own at this point," Degen told CBC News. He said becoming a publisher on top of being an author means more works, but it can lead to bigger financial gains and higher royalties. "It's easier to go the self-published route these days than it ever has been. But it's not easy.… It's an awful lot of work," Degen said. Linehan Young said her previous books will still be available on bookstore shelves like Chapters and Coles. "I don't have any rights for any of my work, yet," she said, adding the titles are still popular with readers and she has to adhere to the contract she signed with the publisher. She said once she gets the rights back, she's considering re-publishing them through Seaweed. Linehan Young said she is excited to launch her business, but she knows it will take up time. "I don't want to become a business machine and not have the opportunity to be the writer that I want to be, either," she said. Her Seaweed published books will also be available through Chapters and Coles, she said, and distributed across the province through Downhome Distribution. She's also gotten orders from across the country. "It's a really wonderful feeling," Linehan Young said. A combined Blinders and Seaweed Publishing launch party is planned for Aug. 3 in St. Bride's. Linehan Young will also have hats, T-shirts and mugs ready. In the future, she said she's also open to publishing the works of other authors.

Authors call on publishers to limit their use of AI
An open letter from authors including Lauren Groff, Lev Grossman, R.F. Kuang, Dennis Lehane, and Geoffrey Maguire calls on book publishers to pledge to limit their use of AI tools, for example by committing to only hire human audiobook narrators. The letter argues that authors' work has been 'stolen' by AI companies: 'Rather than paying writers a small percentage of the money our work makes for them, someone else will be paid for a technology built on our unpaid labor.' Among other commitments, the authors call for publishers to 'make a pledge that they will never release books that were created by machine' and 'not replace their human staff with AI tools or degrade their positions into AI monitors.' While the initial letter was signed by an already impressive list of writers, NPR reports that another 1,100 signatures were added in the 24 hours after it was initially published. Authors are also suing tech companies over using their books to train AI models, but federal judges dealt significant blows to those lawsuits earlier this week.
