Facebook vil ikke nødvendigvis faktatjekke politikere

Det er i øvrigt et lignende svar, som det Twitter gav, da de blev spurgt ind til Donald Trumps brug af platformen.

TechCrunch:
Facebook confirms it won’t fact check politicians’ speech or block their content if it’s newsworthy even if it violates the site’s hate-speech rules or other policies. This cementing of its policy comes from Facebook’s head of global policy and communication Nick Clegg, who gave a speech today about Facebook’s plans to prevent interference in the 2020 presidential election.”

Snap hjælper myndighederne i kampen mod Facebook

MediaWatch:
“Papirerne i “Project Voldemort” beskriver Facebooks påståede forsøg på at underminere Snaps forretning ved blandt andet at opfordre populære “snapchattere”, såkaldte influencere, fra at referere til deres Snapchat-konto på Facebooks platform Instagram – og tilmed true dem med at miste deres status som “verified” på Instagram.”

? 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.

Information lancerer ‘Miniature’

MediaWatch:
“Det nye avisabonnement og -produkt har fået navnet Information Miniature og bliver, som navnet antyder, en miniversion af avisen med tre daglige artikler samt et nyhedsoverblik syv dage om ugen.

Målet er at nå ud til flere – også blandt den nye generation af læsere, som ikke abonnerer på papirudgaven af avisen.”

Jeg har også skrevet om Miniature (og delt screenshots) på Medieblogger.

Nu må DR igen lave longreads

MediaWatch:
“Artiklerne på dr.dk bliver ikke længere end før, selvom DR nu har fået frie hænder til at hamre løs i tasterne. Det siger direktør for DR Nyheder, Aktualitet og Distrikter, Sandy French, efter kulturminister Joy Mogensen (S) og regeringens støttepartier i weekenden løsnede DR’s public service-kontrakt.”

Medier skal invitere sig selv ind i “feed’et” hos de unge

MediaWatch:
“Feedet. Det er her, de digitalt indfødte bruger dagens små pauser. Det er her, de holder sig opdateret om alt fra udskrivning af valg til næste gymnasiefest. Vil man som nyhedsudbyder være en del af festen, må man invitere sig selv indenfor – og man må være insisterende. Der står ingen unge brugere klar ved indgangen for at tage imod.”

Members of those groups are each given a digital pen that looks like a fat highlighter and is equipped with a little camera and a light. They’re asked to use the pen every time they read the newspaper over two or three months, using the digital pen to mark the last line of text in each article they read.”

Skrevne medier satser på podcasts

MediaWatch:
“Politiken, Jysk Fynske Medier og Zetland er alle tre i fuld gang med at føre det skrevne ord ind i et lydbillede. Drivkraften er loyalitetsopbygning og fastholdelse af kunder, lød det fra de tre medier på Radiodays.”

Google nægter at betale franske medier

Politico:
“Google will not pay press publishers in France to display their content and will instead change the way articles appear in search results, a senior executive said on Wednesday.

The announcement pours cold water on publishers’ hopes of obtaining more money from the tech giant for displaying their content under the European Union’s new copyright regime, which France was the first to transpose into national law.”

Google plays hardball with European news publishers
Columbia Journalism Review

Nogle franske medier kalder det “afpresning”, men det lader til at bero på den misforståelse, at Google helt vil fjerne nyhedsartikler fra søgeresultaterne.

Det er der ikke tale om. Google vil blot ikke vise de snippets, som de tidligere har gjort – og som medierne vil have penge for.

Jeg har samlet op på Medieblogger.

Aller køber Heartbeats

MediaWatch:
“Historien melder ikke noget om, hvad Aller Media har betalt for ejerandelen. De resterende 20 pct. af ejerskabet sidder Heartbeats’ stifter og direktør, Le Gammeltoft, på. Hun fortsætter som adm. direktør i den nye ejerkonstellation.”

Tyske udgivere kæmper med Firefox’ seneste privacy-stramning

Digiday:
“Publishers have experienced a detrimental drop in programmatic ad revenues since the changes three weeks ago. Axel Springer is among those to have seen a drop, but the issue is marketwide, according to media sources. Average revenue rate drops have been up to 15% […] But average bid rates, which is how frequently buyers choose to bid on a piece of inventory, are down almost 40% on Firefox in Germany”

They’re important watch-dog stories, in-depth narratives, politics stories; they’re stories that are right within our mission.'”

Podcast-kryptovaluta lukker og slukker

Nieman Lab:
“Podcoin, an app that promised to “pay you to listen to podcasts,” shuts down today. It began operation in December 2018 and claimed to hit 10,000 active daily users in April before being added to The Meet Group’s network of mobile apps. (Albeit seemingly without money changing hands — perhaps not surprising since the CEO of Podcoin and the CEO of The Meet Group are brothers.) Now, because it “just failed to sustain momentum,” it is going offline less than a year later.”

Hvad er en “custom bidding”-algoritme?

Jeg er personlig vild med Digidays ‘WTF’-serie, fordi de er gode til at forklare tekniske begreber indenfor især programmatisk annoncering.

Digiday:
“Also known as a first-party algorithm, it is a custom set of bidding rules that are dynamically generated on a per-campaign basis and designed to deliver outcomes that are aligned to a specific business’s goals. The advertiser “owns” the algorithm as it is specifically designed for them.”

Sådan fungerer alternativet til tredjeparts-cookien

I Ugerevyen fra sidste uge kunne du læse, at nogle medier er i gang med at teste en afløser for tredjeparts-cookies, der er blevet pressede, efter især Apple strammer op for privacy i deres browser.

Her kan du læse mere om, hvordan det fungerer.

Digiday:
“They are a third-partycookie-less option. But they rely very much on first-party cookies — audience data obtained directly from the publisher (rather than via a third party). It is the third-party cookie — not the first-party cookie — that is in on the hook.”
