Facebook vil betale Reuters for at faktatjekke bl.a. deepfakes

TechCrunch:
“Reuters Fact Check will review content across the spectrum of misinformation formats. […] Then there’s staged media that’s been acted out or forged, like an audio clip recorded and maliciously attributed to a politician. Next is computer-generated imagery that can concoct content or ad fake things to a real video. “And finally there is synthetic or Deepfake video” which Baker said takes the most work to produce.”

23 grunde til ikke at bruge Facebooks “boost”-knap

Jon Loomer:
“It’s fine as an “easy button” for beginners. That’s all it’s meant to be. Because you’re missing so many features, so much functionality, and so many options behind the Ads Manager curtain.

Maybe you’re stuck on the Boost button. Maybe you’re intimidated by Ads Manager. I get it. But it’s time to move forward.”

YouTube-regnskab kan presse Instagram til at dele

Mere om YouTubes regnskab i Ugerevyen fra uge 6.

Digiday:
“Not only does Instagram reportedly rake in more ad dollars than YouTube, but Instagram does not share a portion of that money with the creators and media companies that distribute content on its platform. That’s different from YouTube’s practices. In fact, the “majority” of YouTube’s advertising revenue goes to creators and media companies, Alphabet CFO Ruth Porat said during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call.”

Nyt stort Snapchat-redesign i test

The Interface / Casey Newton:
“The redesign takes an app that has long been limited to three screens and splits them into five. Snapchat currently opens to the camera, with a space for chats to the left and the Discover page — which features a collection of ephemeral stories from friends, creators, third-party publishers, and Snap itself — to the right.”

? Digitale medietendenser

Her kan du læse nogle af ugens tendenser indenfor medier. Det kan være en ny metode eller tilgang, branchen forsøger at tage til sig.

JydskeVestkystens robot møder kritik i lokalmiløet

DR Nyheder:
“- Man undlader den kildekritik, som jeg mener er en helt grundlæggende del af en journalists arbejde, siger Hans Otto Sørensen.

Artiklen var skrevet af en robot og havde altså ikke været igennem en journalists hænder, før den blev trykt i avisen.

Og det er et helt grundlæggende problem, mener Hans Otto Sørensen.”

Historien blev også til et indslag i P1 Morgen, hvor Andreas Marckmann (der forsker i automatisering i mediebranchen) blev interviewet. Jeg har samlet link og minuttal i denne LinkedIn-opdatering.

Nyt værktøj viser, hvad journalister skriver om

Poynter:
“What are journalists writing about? It seems like a question with an easy answer. Just go to a news outlet’s homepage and take a peek, or do a quick internet search.

But each of those only offers a glance at what the news has published as a whole. A new tool from MuckRack called Trends offers a universal look at what journalists are writing about.”

Microsoft-værktøj lader journalister samarbejde om datasæt

“Combining artificial intelligence, object vision and optical character recognition (OCR), IDA can analyse pages and extract text, images and other key data. It also helps journalist search long videos, identifying faces or keywords, and provide searchable footage transcript.”

Podcast-guldfeberen falmer for nogle udgivere

Digiday:
“But the medium’s growth has not solved some core issues. Because of the way that podcasts are distributed, building audiences can be very difficult. With more than 850,000 podcasts currently available worldwide (according to an estimate from Spark Foundry’s Chris Yarusso), publishers face a challenge in realizing their desire that listeners will discover their podcasts. And advertisers, weary of combing through long lists of shows, have begun gravitating toward the largest shows and networks, putting even more pressure on the publishers that are trying to make money with one or two shows.”

“If people will pay for MP3s of people whispering them to sleep, why won’t they pay for podcasts?”

Gyldendal sælger flere bøger digitalt end på papir

MediaWatch:
“Hvor mange solgte bøger der præcis er tale om, fremgår dog ikke. Men det er ifølge regnskabet især lydbøger, der trækker væksten i vejret, mens e-bøgerne kun i “beskeden” grad spæder til. Dermed følger udviklingen i Gyldendals digitale salg den nationale udvikling, hvor lydbøger de seneste år har været den helt store vækstmotor bag det digitale forbrug af bøger.”

Her kan du læse nogle af ugens historier og tendenser indenfor forretningsudvikling i mediebranchen. Altså det, der handler om at tjene penge.

Derfor er der penge i at udgive færre artikler

Bækdal:
“But in digital, we don’t have any of these feelings. Online, you have no sensory perception of how big a magazine is, and as a result, you no longer have this feeling of value.”

Vore nabolande bliver mindre annonceafhængige

MediaWatch:
“Ifølge Stefan Melesko [der er forsker i medieøkonomi ved Jönköping Universitet] er det de svenske avisers stigende abonnementsindtægter på print og digital, der gør, at annoncerne fylder mindre i den samlede omsætning. Blandt andet fordi de har hævet priserne på deres abonnementer på tværs af print og digital og har været tidligere ude med lanceringen af digitale abonnementer, hvor den svenske tabloid Aftonbladet var blandt frontløberne tilbage i 2003.”

Hvilken rolle skal “brandet indhold” have i mediebranchen?

Journalism.co.uk:
“News organisations need to be more open to working with commercial companies if they are to survive, a panel of industry experts concluded at The Future of News event (5 February 2020).

A long-term alternative to advertising revenue needs to be secured, according to Richard Sambrook, professor of journalism at Cardiff University, who suggested that branded and sponsored content are strong options.”

Er der en stor Google-algoritmeændring på vej?

What’s New in Publishing:
“The reactions on Twitter to this “update” appear to be mixed, but many publishers have noticed a fall in rankings. There are also a number of complaints from site owners in the Google Webmaster Help forums.

While we wait for Google to confirm about the search ranking algorithm update, it’s worth noting that the past 30-days or so in the Google universe have been pretty intense. “

“Instead of just recording video and audio from a single perspective, such as the composited 2D view of live video from an iPhone’s or iPad’s camera with augmented content such as Pokémon in the scene, Apple would record separate streams that capture both the experience from the recorder’s perspective and time-stamped additional data that could be used to change the experience for viewers.”
