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.

🔨 Historisk GDPR-bøde fra EU til Meta

Fra The Wall Street Jour­nal:

"Face­book own­er Meta Plat­forms was fined $1.3 bil­lion by Euro­pean Union reg­u­la­tors for send­ing user infor­ma­tion to the U.S., a record pri­va­cy penal­ty for the bloc.

The rul­ing rais­es pres­sure on the U.S. gov­ern­ment to com­plete a deal that would allow Meta and thou­sands of multi­na­tion­al com­pa­nies to keep send­ing such infor­ma­tion state­side. The size of the fine also under­scores the increas­ing risks of run­ning afoul of the Euro­pean Union’s pri­va­cy rules as its enforce­ment tight­ens. "

📉 Flere medier melder om fald i trafik fra Facebook

Fra Jour­nal­is­ten:

"Det er en af kon­klu­sion­erne i rap­porten ’Pub­lish­ing Trend Report 2023’ fra Echobox, som kig­ger på medi­etendenserne i 2023.

Ifølge rap­porten er en af årsagerne til frygten for færre side­vis­ninger, at trafikken fra Face­book til mediernes hjemme­side er for nedadgående."

😧 TikTok tester chatbot i udvalgte lande

Fra TechCrunch:

"AI chat­bots, like Chat­G­PT, are all the rage, so it’s no sur­prise to learn that Tik­Tok is now test­ing its own AI chat­bot, as well. Called “Tako,” the bot is in lim­it­ed test­ing in select mar­kets, where it will appear on the right-hand side of the Tik­Tok inter­face, above the user’s pro­file and oth­er but­tons for likes, com­ments and book­marks. When tapped, users can ask Tako var­i­ous ques­tions about the video using nat­ur­al lan­guage queries or dis­cov­er new con­tent by ask­ing for rec­om­men­da­tions."

📉 Meta sælger Giphy med tab

😟 LinkedIn har et problem med disinformation

Fra The Finan­cial Times:

"LinkedIn has been fac­ing a grow­ing tide of dis­in­for­ma­tion. The social media net­work blocked more than 58mn accounts between July and Decem­ber 2022, up from 22mn in the first six months of the year, accord­ing to its most recent trans­paren­cy report"

🍿 Metas Twitter-konkurrent bliver angiveligt lanceret i juni

😬 Falsk Pentagon-billede udstiller Twitters sårbarheder

Et AI-skabt billede viste, hvad der skulle ligne et angreb fore­taget tæt på Pen­ta­gon. Billedet blev hur­tigt fjer­net fra Face­book, hvor det oprindelig blev delt, men lev­ede læn­gere på Twit­ter og blev blandt andet delt af pro­fil­er med mass­er af føl­gere.

Fra Plat­former:

"It’s true that what the Pen­ta­gon hoaxsters did today could have been accom­plished just as eas­i­ly with Pho­to­shop as with Mid­jour­ney or DALL‑E. At the same time, syn­thet­ic image gen­er­a­tors are improv­ing rapid­ly in both qual­i­ty and speed. If you set up a few dozen accounts to tweet syn­thet­ic images of a pho­ny attack from dif­fer­ent angles, the effect could be more con­vinc­ing.

But it’s also true that Twit­ter used to have a good defense against this. For all its flaws, the old ver­i­fi­ca­tion sys­tem offered a first line of defense against the sort of attack we saw today."

For con­text, Fox News claimed it drew 7.7 mil­lion view­ers for Trump’s Tul­sa ral­ly in 2020."

"The data sug­gests that Twitter’s impor­tance as a refer­ral source for news pub­lish­ers had been in decline long before Elon Musk’s takeover of the plat­form in Octo­ber last year, although the trend has con­tin­ued under his own­er­ship. Refer­ral traf­fic to large pub­lish­ers for exam­ple fell a fur­ther 4% between Sep­tem­ber 2022 and April 2023."

😲 Twitters søgefunktion foreslog indhold med vold mod dyr

The Cen­ter exam­ined 1,400 promi­nent accounts – select­ed from those with large num­bers of fol­low­ers – on BitChuteGab, Get­trPar­lerRum­ble, Telegram and Truth Social, many of which posi­tion them­selves as alter­na­tives to more estab­lished social media sites."

Fra hes­tens mund:

🎧 Her er YouTubes planer med RSS

RSS (Real­ly Sim­ple Syn­di­ca­tion) er kort for­t­alt et feed, hvor man som bruger/abonnent kan følge opda­teringer, artik­ler eller pod­cast-episoder fra afsenderen, der stiller et RSS-feed til rådighed.

For eksem­pel er det via RSS-feeds, pod­cast-episoder kom­mer ind i pod­cast-apps.

Fra Pod­news:

"Pod­news has obtained a doc­u­ment with full details of a YouTube “RSS Inges­tion” pilot that it is run­ning with some part­ners. The ser­vice pulls new audio from an RSS feed to upload it to YouTube, com­plete with a sta­t­ic image of the show art."

Del 3: Business

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

📧 Sådan bruger NYTimes nyhedsbreve til at fastholde abonnenter

Fra WAN-IFRA:

"'Newslet­ters can play many dif­fer­ent roles,' said Paige Collins, Senior Prod­uct Man­ag­er at The Times. 'They can bring peo­ple back to the web­site. They can expose peo­ple to all we have to offer, because there is so much The Times is doing every sin­gle day that it’s impos­si­ble to see it all just from the home­page or social media feed.'"

🎧 Derfor bruger nogle podcastere tredjeparter til at sælge abonnementer

Fra Digi­day:

"As more pod­cast­ers offer sub­scrip­tions around their shows to build a more direct rela­tion­ship with lis­ten­ers and an addi­tion­al rev­enue stream, many pod­cast­ers are look­ing beyond Apple and Spotify’s sub­scrip­tion plat­forms to third-par­ty ven­dors like Sup­port­ing Cast and Super­cast."

👦 Washington Post forsøger at nå unge via Venmo-betaling

(Ven­mo er en betal­ingst­jen­este, der er ejet af Pay­Pal.)

Fra Medi­a­Post:

"'We see this unique deal as an oppor­tu­ni­ty to tap into the next gen­er­a­tion of read­ers who may have nev­er con­sid­ered sub­scrib­ing to The Post or any oth­er news out­let,' says Phoebe Con­nel­ly, direc­tor of Next Gen­er­a­tion audi­ence devel­op­ment at The Wash­ing­ton Post."

🤔 Kunne en The Guardian-paywall hjælpe andre medier?

Bemærk at afsenderen er redak­tør på sit eget mag­a­sin.

Fra Press Gazette:

"Yet there is one major British pub­li­ca­tion that’s refus­ing to leave its lone­ly free-for-all and join in the mon­ey-drenched bonan­za enjoyed by its com­peti­tors. The Guardian Media Group pro­duces much of the best writ­ing in Britain and is sit­ting pret­ty on a cash sur­plus for the first time in near­ly 15 years.

But, hav­ing spo­ken to a num­ber of sources at York Way, and from dis­cus­sions with oth­er edi­tors at small pub­li­ca­tions, I can’t help think­ing that if the Guardian were to intro­duce a pay­wall, it could change the land­scape of jour­nal­ism in this coun­try irrev­o­ca­bly, and for the bet­ter."

👴 Søgeannoncer på TikTok er ikke lige om hjørnet

Fra Digi­day:

"When those search ads mate­ri­al­ize remains to be seen. They’re being test­ed, but it doesn’t sound like Tik­Tok is com­plete­ly hap­py with what it has so far — at least not enough to build any bonafide ad prod­ucts."

🆕 Sådan pitcher Google deres Sandbox

Fra Digi­day:

"With Europe’s GDPR in effect five years this week and Apple’s ATT in action two years as of last month, one of the adver­tis­ing world’s next expect­ed major cat­a­lysts is Google’s plans for its long-await­ed Pri­va­cy Sand­box. Last week, the com­pa­ny final­ly shed new light on its plans with more details and a lengthy time­line. (It will dep­re­cate third-par­ty cook­ies for 1% of Chrome users glob­al­ly in the first quar­ter of 2024)."

Del 4: Udvikling og tech

Her får du et kig på nogle af ugens his­to­ri­er inden­for den dig­i­tale udvikling og teknolo­gi, der enten direk­te eller indi­rek­te kan have betyd­ning for medier/udgivere.

🥱 Nu kommer AI-podcastene

Fra Wired:

"The medi­um is defined by inti­ma­cy, by lis­ten­ers feel­ing like they are over­hear­ing a chat between old friends, or sit­ting in the back of the room at a par­tic­u­lar­ly bril­liant pan­el.

In her 2022 book Pod­cast­ing as an Inti­mate Medi­um, pod­cast researcher Alyn Euritt describes how lis­ten­ers can come to see them­selves as 'mem­bers of an imag­ined nation­al com­mu­ni­ty.' In nich­es like news sum­ma­ry pro­grams, a robot could suf­fice. But the pod­cast busi­ness isn’t built on infor­ma­tion; it’s built on con­ver­sa­tion."

🤖 Spotify arbejder på AI til oplæsning af annoncer

Fra Insid­er:

"Next time you're play­ing a pod­cast on Spo­ti­fy, lis­ten real­ly close to its ad — it may be read by AI, not your favorite host.

Bill Sim­mons, founder of Spo­ti­fy-owned pod­cast net­work The Ringer, said the stream­ing plat­form is devel­op­ing AI tools trained on its hosts' voic­es to cre­ate tar­get­ed ads, as first report­ed by Semafor."

🧪 Test af Googles skrive-AI

Fra Wired:

"I used Duet AI to send emails and plan my wed­ding. Its writ­ing can be stuffy and stereotyping—but it’s a glimpse of the future of pro­duc­tiv­i­ty apps."

✨ Google præsenterer AI-værktøjer til marketing

Fra hes­tens mund:

"Today at Google Mar­ket­ing Live, we're shar­ing how new gen­er­a­tive AI advance­ments will bring AI front and cen­ter, mak­ing it the best tool in your mar­ket­ing toolk­it — help­ing you make deci­sions, solve prob­lems and enhance your cre­ativ­i­ty."

🤨 Regler for automatiseret brug bliver ikke del af ophavsretten i denne omgang

Fra Medi­aWatch:

"Trods klare opfor­dringer fra en række brancheak­tør­er bliv­er der ikke ind­bygget et effek­tivt værn mod tech­sel­sk­abers adgang til at tekst- og dat­a­mine danske mediers ind­hold i ny ophavs­ret­slov for nu."

🔌 Microsoft vil bruge samme plugin-standard som ChatGPT

I Ugerevyen fra uge 20 kunne du læse, at Ope­nAI lancerede 70 plu­g­ins til Chat­G­PT. Nu går Microsoft med på den vogn.

Fra Microsoft selv:

"Microsoft is announc­ing that we will adopt the same open plu­g­in stan­dard that Ope­nAI intro­duced for Chat­G­PT, enabling inter­op­er­abil­i­ty across Chat­G­PT and the breadth of Microsoft’s copi­lot offer­ings."
