After Sunday morning’s fight for affordable Lilly Pulitzer, many spent the first half of the week digesting the shortcomings of Target’s handling of the shopping event. But Wednesday’s announcement that Google would release its own wireless service called Project Fi drew headlines and debate for the rest of the week. Finally, another story that permeated much of the week’s coverage dealt with banking, in particular Deutsche Bank, which agreed to pay $2.5 billion in fines and accepted responsibility for certain criminal acts in order to end its rate-rigging case.
