• The New York Times has launched an ambitious online project, Unpublished Black History, to which they will be adding unpublished photos from their archives daily through February.
• Yahoo! is laying off 15% of its workforce, which means Flickr is being scaled back so that it can operate with minimal oversight.

• Despite their current situation, children who have fled the conflict in Syria dream of what the future holds for them, and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) sent photographer Meredith Hutchison to find out.

Now photographer Dan Martensen’s new book, Wolves Like Us, shows the six Angulo brothers in portraits, documenting the 14 years they spent in their Lower East Side apartment, where an authoritarian father kept them hidden along with their mother and sister. They learned about the outside world largely by watching movies, which they imaginatively recreated with their own homemade sets, props, and costumes.
• Palani Mohan traveled to the barren and frigid Altai mountains of western Mongolia to document the few remaining burkitshi — Kazakh men who hunt on horseback with golden eagles. (You might remember the 13-year-old Kazakh girl learning to hunt with her eagle, which we linked to in 2014.)
• This seaside town in Italy’s deep south has long been a hotbed for the Calabrian mafia, which uses threats and violence to extort virtually every businessman, from the pizzerias to the fishmongers.
