These were physical books that contained press clips. It seems downright archaic now but that’s how I learned about the press - by cutting, pasting up and photocopying clippings. My fascination with the media never abated. Today my role is to form insights into how the entire overlapped media landscape - the pros, social channels, and corporate content - is rapidly evolving and to help Edelman clients turn these learnings into actionable strategies. As part of this effort, I spend a lot of time with not only the social platforms but journalists and media execs.

To make them stand out from the rest of messages, Gmail adds two labels: chat and chats. If you want to search your chats, you just have to add label:chat to your query. If you want to search only your mail, exclude the chats by adding -label:chat. Gmail has many other hidden labels that can make your life easier, so you don't have to use the advanced search: * label:inbox - search only your Inbox.
It's a good idea to keep your Inbox clean. * label:star (label:starred) - search only your starred messages. . * label:draft (or label:drafts) - search only unfinished messages. . * label:sent (or label:sentmail, label:sent-mail, label:sent mail ) - search only sent mail. . * label:all (or label:allmail, label:all-mail, label:all mail ) - search all your mail, including messages from Trash (label:trash) and Spam (label:spam). * label:read and label:unread.
