🛡️ YouTube vil beskytte børn mod kommentarsporet

Fra TechCrunch:

YouTube’s com­ments sec­tion, his­tor­i­cal­ly, has had a bad rep­u­ta­tion, but a change rolling out could pre­vent kids from wad­ing into the com­ments cesspool. In an email to par­ents who super­vise a child’s account, the com­pa­ny announced the intro­duc­tion of a “read-only” com­ments option on their child’s super­vised expe­ri­ence on YouTube.

🛑 Instagram vil advare mod nøgenbilleder

Fra The Wash­ing­ton Post:

Insta­gram is now tak­ing a mean­ing­ful step to con­tain the prob­lem, by auto­mat­i­cal­ly detect­ing and blur­ring nudes in its direct-mes­sag­ing ser­vice.

🤳 TikTok arbejder angiveligt på virtuelle influencers

Fra Social Media Today:

Fra Bloomberg:

Many adver­tis­ers who rely on Face­book and Insta­gram have noticed that Meta Plat­forms Inc.’s auto­mat­ed ad sys­tems have tak­en a major hit in recent weeks. Costs are up sig­nif­i­cant­ly, returns are down, and Meta hasn’t offered any expla­na­tion for what’s going on. Many mar­keters are total­ly con­fused and very much frus­trat­ed that things appear to be “ter­ri­bly bro­ken.”

😕 TikTok og Snapchat mener ikke forældresamtykke skal gælde for dem

Fra Medi­aWatch:

🤔 Snapchat og medier: It's complicated

Fra Digi­day:

As a result, key con­tacts at the plat­form have gone silent or become slow­er to respond to pub­lish­ers, and replace­ments haven’t pro­vid­ed much clar­i­ty — yet. Add swirling rumors to the mix about what’s going on at Snap HQ, and it’s no sur­prise pub­lish­ers are feel­ing a bit adrift, as six pub­lish­ers told Digi­day.

🤢 LinkedIn har et AI-problem

Fra Expl.AI.nable:

That’s the most AI-gen­er­at­ed post I have read in the past 12 months, and I have read a lot of AI-gen­er­at­ed posts. Maybe the writer just has a cer­tain AI-style cadence. But it got me think­ing about the one style of writ­ing that AI has mas­tered, soul­less LinkedIn-style com­ments.

👋 Journalister forlader platformene — skal medierne være bekymrede?

Fra Journalism.co.uk:

Before run­ning head­first into the next shiny piece of tech­nol­o­gy, news­rooms lead­ers must ask who will be impact­ed the most and what sup­port they will need to keep going

💸 Sådan vil X overbevise annoncører

Fra Digi­day:

But maybe — just maybe — there’s a glim­mer of hope on the hori­zon. It appears X is mak­ing some gen­uine strides in the realm of brand safe­ty. Could this be the turn­ing point everyone’s been wait­ing for? Only time will tell.

🤝 Snapchat-partnerskaber til bedre kampagneanalyser

😬 Anti-fake-news-lovgivning kan gøre mere skade end gavn

Fra Nie­man Lab:

“Fake news” leg­is­la­tion that gov­ern­ments around the world have writ­ten in recent years to com­bat mis- and dis­in­for­ma­tion does lit­tle to pro­tect jour­nal­is­tic free­dom. Rather, it can cre­ate a greater risk of harm.

🎛️ Spotify arbejder på remix-værktøjer

Fra The Wall Street Jour­nal:

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.

🤨 Har abonnement alligevel toppet som model?

Det diskuteres fra tid til anden, om vi er ved "peak sub­scrip­tion" (det tid­spunkt, hvor abon­nementsmod­ellen top­per og derefter falder igen), og om det punkt over­hovedet find­es.

Her er et argu­ment i den debat.

Fra A Media Oper­a­tor:

Do this job long enough and you’re bound to see media trends change. And it seems that the piv­ot to sub­scrip­tions might actu­al­ly have peaked. Maybe WaPo’s Will Lewis was right after all.

But Digi­day now has some data to back up the argu­ment. Its find­ings are inter­est­ing:

How­ev­er, with pub­lish­ers fac­ing declin­ing refer­ral traf­fic from search and social plat­forms, steep­er com­pe­ti­tion for scale-focused cam­paign bud­gets, and a myr­i­ad of oth­er woes impact­ing ad rev­enue, some pub­lish­ers are grow­ing their focus on events in 2024, while oth­ers are plac­ing a renewed focus on sub­scrip­tions. 

💡 Hvad kan mainstream-medier lære af nichemedier?

🤔 Medier kigger på andre platforme i jagt på trafik

Fra Digi­day:

Nine dig­i­tal pub­lish­ing execs that spoke with Digi­day said they are invest­ing in oth­er social plat­forms like Insta­gram and Tik­Tok to grow their reach. But the ques­tion remains if alter­na­tive plat­forms can actu­al­ly make up the social refer­ral deficit. 

📉 The Washington Post taber stadig trafik

Fra Wash­ing­ton City Paper:

News­pa­pers across the coun­try have expe­ri­enced a drop in web­site traf­fic and cir­cu­la­tion since Don­ald Trump left office, but the declines at the Wash­ing­ton Post have been espe­cial­ly painful.

Google’s Pri­va­cy Sand­box is a space where a series of com­plex pro­pos­als to pro­tect user pri­va­cy have been devel­oped and are under­go­ing (or have under­gone) exten­sive test­ing.
