Your article from February 9, 2018, is titled: "Why Faking the Moon Landing Was Impossible"

A Popular Mechanics article from October 27, 2017, is titled: "Why Faking the Moon Landing Was Impossible"

Your opening:

It's understandable that many people over the years have questioned the validity of the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing. It was an incredible, unprecedented triumph for NASA and a monumental achievement for humanity in general—and one we haven't bothered to repeat since the end of Apollo.

The Newsweek Network, part 14: Adprime Media

Adprime Media Inc. was registered in New York state on March 17, 2006.  The company was originally called Veremedia Inc., but switched to its current name on August 1, 2011.  The NYS Department of State website says "Michael Meon" is the company's CEO, but I think that might be a typo.  According to MyVisaJobs.com, the CEO of Adprime Media is "Michael Moon."

The company's homepage is:

1. AdprimeMedia.com -- The About page says: "Adprime Media operates several niche ad networks specializing in specific categories helping advertisers reach the right audiences."  The current Contact page shows office locations in New York, London, and Shanghai.  The New York address is 88 Pine St. 26th Floor, New York, NY 10005.  The phone number is 212-440-8200.  In December of 2016, the Contact page showed the address 33 Whitehall St., 8th Floor, New York, NY 10004.

Adprime Media has three verticals.  I already mentioned AdPrimeStar.com.  The other two are:

2. AdprimeHealth.com -- The About page says: "Adprime Health is one of the largest ad networks that target the health market online."  The homepage boasts of having 1,000 health sites in its network.  The Contact phone is 212-509-0550.

3. AdprimeTech.com -- The About page says: "Adprime tech is one of the largest ad networks that target the tech market online."  The Advertisers page boasts of having 300+ tech sites in its network, and of reaching 34MM monthly unique visitors.

Three domains have been registered to the email address "info@adprimemedia.com."  I already mentioned two of these—AdprimeAnalytics.com and AdprimeAnalytics.net.  The third domains is:

4. HealthAdnet.com -- Offline.  In June, 2012, Health Adnet changed its name to Adprime Health.  A press release at the time said: " Adprime Health now works with over 600 health relevant websites and reaches over 57 million unique visitors monthly."  The earliest Contact page shows the address 44 Wall Street, 20th Floor, New York, NY, 10005, and the phone number 212-785-3055.  

Between February and May of 2012, HealthAdnet.com used the Google Analytics Tag UA-9148264.  This tag was shared by five other domains.  I already mentioned two of them—AdprimeMedia.com and AdprimeHealth.com.  The others were:

5. AdprimeMedia.co.uk -- This is the homepage for the London office of Adprime Media.  The About page says Michael Moon is the company's CEO.

Michael Moon

6. Faithadnet.com -- This site appears to have switched owners within the past year or so.  An "About Us" page from 2016 says: "Faithadnet is the only niche ad network that targets the faith and family market online."  A Contact page from 2013 showed the address 33 Whitehall St., 8th Floor, New York, NY 10004, and the phone number  212-509-1190.

7. Veremedia.com -- Offline. An About page from August, 2009, said: "Veremedia is an online ad sales rep firm and network that will give you a one-stop solution to your advertising needs....Veremedia also operates the largest niche ad network that targets the faith and family market online."  A Contact page from August, 2009, showed the address 44 Wall Street, 20th Floor, and the phone number  212-785-3055

The Newsweek Network, part 13: University Herald

Today, I'm focusing on one site:

1. UniversityHerald.com

The About page says: "University Herald started operating in 2011, aiming at serving as a news platform for US Universities, as well as numerous major universities worldwide."

The most-recent stories are from November, 2017, and are embedded with videos from Newsweek Media Group. 

The reason I'm focusing only on University Herald is because I noticed a particular Facebook post several months ago.  It came from the actual University Herald Facebook account.  In other words, somebody who had administrative control of the Facebook page made this comment:

The post was dated June 8, 2017.  It was deleted during the last few months, but I found a cache and made an archive here: http://archive.is/CrM3m.

I sent an e-mail around 10:00 A.M. this morning to editor@universityherald.com and media@universityherald.com, asking if someone could verify whether the Facebook post came from an employee (or ex-employee).  I also asked if the University Herald had fallen behind in paying their writers.  I haven't heard back.

The current Contact page for UniversityHerald.com shows the address 30 Broad Street, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10004.  Last December, the Contact page said advertising inquiries should be sent to ads@iqadnet.com.  Last September, the Contact page showed the address 10866 Wilshire Blvd. 4th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90024.  In March of 2016, the Contact page showed the address 33 Whitehall street, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10004.

The Newsweek Network, part 12: m.moon@adprimemedia.com

On Thursday, I noted that "AdRecipes.com" was part of the 33Networks portfolio. The domain AdRecipes.com is registered with the e-mail address "m.moon@adprimemedia.com."

A total of five domains have used that e-mail address:

1. AdPrimeAnalytics.com -- Offline.  No archives.

2. AdPrimeAnalytics.net -- Offline.  No archives.

3. AdPrimeMediaHealth.com -- Offline.  No archives.

4. AdPrimestar.com -- The homepage says: "Adprime Star helps marketers connect with their audience by reaching them on the sites and platforms within their natural digital environment."  The footer also says "Adprime Star is a division of Adprime Media."  The company's address is 33 Whitehall St., 8th Floor, New York, NY, 10004.  The company's phone number is 212-440-8200.  Another address listed on the Contact page is 88 Pine St., 26th Floor, New York, NY 10005.

5. AdRecipes.com -- Offline.  A "Publishers" page from 2013 said: "ADRECIPES is the largest food ad network reaching people seeking food services with a variety of display ad units, rich media, sponsorships and video solutions..." and it showed the phone number 212-509-0550.  A Contact page from 2013 showed the address 347 5th Avenue, #1402, New York, NY, 10016-5010, and the phone number 646-688-4860.

The Newsweek Network, part 11: 1ifg5bv5lcgr490o6ed5tp8olq

Yesterday, I noted the site "IQAdnet.com" was part of the 33Networks portfolio. The domain IQAdnet.com is registered with the e-mail address 1ifg5bv5lcgr490o6ed5tp8olq@domaindiscreet.com.

Four domains have used that e-mail address:

1. ChinaAdGateway.com --  The About section says: "China Ad Gateway is the premium advertising network company that serves advertisers targeting the fast-growing China market and publishers with quality contents and dedicated Chinese audience."  The company's address is 61 Broadway Street, Room 800, New York, NY 10006.  Their phone number is 646-688-3228.

2. ChinaAdGateway.net -- Offline.  No archives.

3. IQAdnet.com --  The About page says: "IQadnet has aggregated more than 300 sites together, reaching more than 73 million unique visitors per month globally."  Another page says China Ad Gateway is the "advertising brand" of IQAdnet.  The company's address is 33 Whitehall St, 9th floor, New York, 10004.  Their phone number is 646-688-5368.  I noticed a couple job listings on Chinese-language message boards; applicants were told to e-mail "nicole@iqadnet.com."  An entity called IQAdnet LLC was registered in New York state on August 5, 2014.  IQAdnet LLC has two LCA forms on MyVisaJobs, and Yooshin Park is listed as the company's president.

4. ITAdnet.com --  The homepage says: "iTADNET is a vertical ad network that focuses on the Tech industry. "  The homepage also mentions iTADNET "is a brand under AdConnects LLC."  The company's address is 33 Whitehall Street, 9th Floor, New York.  Their phone number is 646-688-3228.

The Newsweek network, part 10: 6b99k6io0ag1f88l5cc0nv1e3s

 On Monday, I listed several domains that were registered with the e-mail address info@musictimes.com.

Another domain, mstarsnews.com, is also part of Music Times—however, it's registered with the e-mail address 6b99k6io0ag1f88l5cc0nv1e3s@domaindiscreet.com.  There have been seven domains registered with that same e-mail address, and I believe there's some administrative overlap linking them together.  Here are the other six domains:

1. 33Networks.com -- Offline. An archived homepage from 2014 stated: "33 Networks operates several niche ad networks specializing in specific categories helping advertisers reach the right audiences."  The Portfolio in 2014 consisted of two sites:  AdRecipes.com and IQAdnet.com.  The company's contact address was 33 Whitehall Street, 7th Floor, New York.

2. Enstarnews.com -- Offline.  No archives.

3. EnstarsNews.com -- Redirects to Enstarz.com

An old Contact page shows the address 33 Whitehall Street, 9th Floor, New York.

5. MstarNews.com  -- Redirects to MstarsNews.MusicTimes.com.

Your article from January 25, 2018, is titled: "Wind Energy Is One of the Cheapest Sources of Electricity, and It's Getting Cheaper"

A Scientific American article from August 28, 2017, is titled: "Wind Energy Is One of the Cheapest Sources of Electricity, and It's Getting Cheaper"

Your opening:

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released the latest iteration of its annual Wind Technologies Market Report, which pulls together a wealth of data to track trends in the cost, performance, and growth of wind energy.

The report found that U.S. wind energy will continue to be one of the lowest cost electricity generation technologies available, with the long-term wind electricity price available through a power purchase agreement coming in at about half the expected cost of just running a natural gas power plant.
