In 2025, there were 47,940 writers and authors working in the United States, down from the previous years but in line with general trends on the timeline. Many changes have occurred for employees in this sector over the last few years, with self-publishing and online publishing on the up.

The box office revenue of all Harry Potter films combined amounts to over 7.7 billion U.S. dollars, and some cost in excess of 200 million U.S. dollars to produce. Aside from her reputation as one of the world’s most famous authors, J.K. Rowling is also known for her engagement with politics and philanthropy but has also been the subject of controversy in recent years in connection with her stance, comments, and actions against the transgender community. Other wealthy authors James Patterson ranked as the second highest earning author with an income of 70 million U.S. dollars. Patterson has received mixed reviews from his critics and peers alike but has seen incredible success throughout his prolific career. His income was last recorded as far outperforming horror writer Stephen King, the latter of whom is one of Patterson’s biggest critics. Some of Patterson’s books have been (loosely) adapted into film; the first of which was 1995 novel ‘Kiss the Girls’, which inspired the 1997 movie of the same name starring Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, and Ashley Judd. The world’s third highest earning author was former First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama, whose memoir ‘Becoming’ was published in 2018. Obama’s book was the 2018 best-seller and also made the ranking of best-selling print books in the United States the following year.

As of the same year, there were 92 percent female and 93 percent male internet users in Europe, making it the second region worldwide by internet usage.

According to the latest data, 34 percent of Africa’s female population had online access, compared to 45 percent of men. Whereas in the Americas, the share of male and female internet users was the same, 83 percent. There was also a big difference in the share of female and male internet users in the Arab States. In the region, 65 percent of women had access to the internet, whereas the share of the male population using the internet was 75 percent. The gender gap was also seen in mobile internet usage in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Internet access and SDGs Africa’s online access rate was the lowest worldwide, with estimates showing that just over 30 percent of the total population was using the internet. By comparison, the global average online usage rate was 51 percent. This technological gap between Africa and the rest of the world highlights the need for continued investment in information and communication technologies on the continent, as such processes can speed up progress towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations. The Sustainable Development Goals, also known as the Global Goals, are a worldwide agenda to protect the planet, end poverty, and ensure global peace and prosperity. ICTs, especially mobile internet, contribute to the goals by enabling countries to participate in digital economies as well as empowering individuals to access crucial information and services. However, almost 40 percent of the world was not using the internet. Particularly disenfranchised groups were frequently excluded from digital society, including women and girls, people with disabilities, elders, indigenous populations, people living in poverty, and inhabitants of least developed or developing countries. The digital gender gap was another obstacle for women to overcome on a global level to achieve economic advancement which would ultimately also benefit their communities.

As of August 27, 2026, there were 2,903 new cases of measles reported in the United States, already more than the total figure for 2025. South Carolina accounted for the highest amount of cases. With infections rising once again, the country risks losing its measles elimination status - similar to Canada, which lost its status in November 2025. The World Health Organization (WHO) had originally declared measles eliminated in the U.S. in 2000, following decades of successful vaccination efforts. Measles vaccination Measles, also known as rubeola, is an infectious disease that is highly contagious and affects mostly children. Common symptoms of measles include fever, runny nose, sore throat, cough, and a rash. Although the number of deaths from measles has decreased around the world, it is still responsible for around 95,000 deaths worldwide per year. The main reason for the decrease in measles cases and deaths is due to high vaccination rates. The widely used MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps, and rubella and is safe and effective. In 2024, around 93 percent of adolescents in the U.S. aged 13 to 17 years had received an MMR vaccination. However, in recent years, there has been a rise in measles cases in many parts of the world due to vaccine hesitancy. Vaccine hesitancy Vaccine hesitancy refers to a refusal or reluctance to have children vaccinated, despite the overwhelming evidence that vaccines are safe and effective. This hesitancy comes from a misunderstanding of the ingredients in vaccines and how they work, a mistrust of doctors and pharmaceutical companies, and belief in the unfounded associations of vaccines with other diseases and disorders.
