Del 1: Sociale medier 

Her find­er du his­to­ri­er om eller fra de store sociale plat­forme, der har en enorm rolle at spille i kon­tak­ten mellem udgiver/afsender og mod­tager.

🤔 Rapport: Medier har mere brug for Facebook end omvendt

Fra INMA:

"The report from NERA Eco­nom­ic Con­sult­ing comes up with broad claims, Meta says:

- News from pub­lish­ers is only 3% of what users see on Face­book, and that share has declined over time.

Pub­lish­ers post to Face­book to get the social media traf­fic they crave and gain from."

🔗 Nu kan du få 5 links i din Twitter-bio

Fra Social Media Today:

"Insta­gram has today launched one of its most request­ed fea­ture updates, giv­ing users the abil­i­ty to add up to five links in their IG bio, expand­ing on its capac­i­ty to dri­ve traf­fic."

🧒 YouTube lægger aldersbegrænsning ifm. indhold om spiseforstyrrelser

Fra Medi­aWatch:

"Youtube vil fre­mover fjerne mere ind­hold end tidligere. Plat­for­men ind­før­er også en alder­sre­strik­tion for dele af det ind­hold om spise­forstyrrelser, der for­bliv­er tilladt."

🏷️ Meta fjernede COVID-19-advarsler, fordi de ikke virkede

Fra CNN:

"Late last year, Face­book-par­ent Meta qui­et­ly phased out cer­tain con­tent labels on its plat­forms that for much of the pan­dem­ic had direct­ed view­ers to its cen­tral Covid-19 infor­ma­tion page, after inter­nal research con­clud­ed the labels may be inef­fec­tive at chang­ing atti­tudes or stop­ping the spread of mis­in­for­ma­tion, accord­ing to a report Thurs­day by the company’s exter­nal over­sight board."

👋 Sveriges radio dropper Twitter

Fra B.T.:

"Offent­lighe­den har sim­pelthen val­gt andre sted­er at være. Og der­for væl­ger Sveriges Radio at deak­ti­vere eller slette sine sid­ste kon­ti"

📈 Twitters annonceforretning har det bedre

Fra Reuters:

"Twit­ter-own­er Elon Musk has said adver­tis­ers are return­ing to the social media plat­form, but state­ments from sev­er­al com­pa­nies and data from research firms sug­gest a bounce-back is not hap­pen­ing so fast."

🌍 Twitter lancerer verificerede organisationer til alle

Fra Social Media Today:

"Twitter’s mov­ing for­ward with the next stage of its sub­scrip­tion rev­enue plan, with its new ‘Ver­i­fi­ca­tion for Orga­ni­za­tions’ pro­gram now avail­able to busi­ness­es around the world, expand­ing the scope of its updat­ed ver­i­fi­ca­tion badge sys­tem."

✅ Gamle checkmarks er nu fortid på Twitter

Fra Medi­aWatch:

"Twit­ter-ejer Elon Musks plan­er om at fjerne det blå flueben fra pro­fil­er, som hidtil gratis har været mark­eret med det karak­ter­is­tiske ver­i­fika­tion­s­mærke på det sociale medie Twit­ter, er trådt i kraft."

🧐 Markering er nu væk på NPR, BBC — og Xinhua

En af de store his­to­ri­er på Twit­ter i sid­ste uge var, at NPR og BBC havde fået "Pub­licly fund­ed media"-mærkater (efter de først var blevet kaldt "gov­ern­ment fund­ed").

Nu er mærkater­ne væk igen – men det er ikke kun på NPR og BBC, de er det.

Fra Reuters:

"Twit­ter dropped the "Gov­ern­ment-fund­ed Media" label from the accounts of U.S.-based Nation­al Pub­lic Radio (NPR), British Broad­cast­ing Corp and Cana­di­an Broad­cast­ing Cor­po­ra­tion (CBC).

It also dropped the 'Chi­na state-affil­i­at­ed media' tag on the accounts of Xin­hua News as well as of jour­nal­ists asso­ci­at­ed with gov­ern­ment-backed pub­li­ca­tions."

🤬 Twitter vil markere hadfyldte tweets

Fra The Verge:

"Twit­ter is intro­duc­ing new labels it will show on tweets the com­pa­ny lim­its for break­ing its rules. The com­pa­ny occa­sion­al­ly restricts tweets that vio­late its poli­cies by mak­ing them hard­er to find or vis­i­ble to few­er peo­ple, and these new labels will make those actions more clear."

🐦 NYTimes har ikke planer om at droppe Twitter

Fra Axios:

"The New York Times does not plan to stop using Twit­ter, its top edi­tor said Sat­ur­day, despite the fact that Elon Musk, the company's own­er, has tak­en seem­ing­ly tar­get­ed actions against the Times, and has called the outlet's work "pro­pa­gan­da." "

🤨 Twitter udelukker Wired-journalist

Fra Forbes:

"A reporter at Wired mag­a­zine has been banned from Twit­ter after he wrote about the fact that anti-trans activist Matt Walsh had his Twit­ter account hacked. Walsh’s account was hacked on Tues­day and start­ed post­ing offen­sive tweets about oth­er pop­u­lar right-wing fig­ures like Andrew Tate and Ben Shapiro."

En Twit­ter-tråd fra Wireds chefredak­tør:

"Yes­ter­day Twit­ter sus­pend­ed @WIRED’s Dell Cameron, sup­pos­ed­ly for vio­lat­ing its poli­cies when he report­ed on the hack­ing of @MattWalshBlog. He did not vio­late those poli­cies, and some false­hoods have been cir­cu­lat­ing about he did do. Let’s set the record straight. 🧵

💘 Derfor elsker erhvervsjournalister LinkedIn

Fra Future of Media:

"Newslet­ters are the lat­est tool pleas­ing jour­nal­ists, but clas­sic posts are still prov­ing use­ful too."

👻 Snapchat præsenterer nyt indenfor AR og AI

Fra Social Media Today:

"And there’s a heap to get through – first off, Snapchat pro­vid­ed some new insights into its adop­tion of gen­er­a­tive AI, via its ‘My AI’ chat assis­tant. [...]

Snapchat’s also adding an image gen­er­a­tion ele­ment, with users able to inter­act with My AI via visu­al cues, and the tool able to gen­er­ate visu­al replies. Snap’s test­ing this with Snapchat+ sub­scribers to begin with, but it’ll be anoth­er ele­ment for Snaphat­ters to engage with via its vir­tu­al assis­tant."

The new fea­tures, under the project name Magi, are being cre­at­ed by design­ers, engi­neers and exec­u­tives work­ing in so-called sprint rooms to tweak and test the lat­est ver­sions. The new search engine would offer users a far more per­son­al­ized expe­ri­ence than the company’s cur­rent ser­vice, attempt­ing to antic­i­pate users’ needs."
