Lyt: Zuckerberg vil bekæmpe opsplitning af Facebook
The Verge har fået fat i to timers optagelser fra et internt Facebook-møde.
The Verge:
“You have someone like Elizabeth Warren who thinks that the right answer is to break up the companies … if she gets elected president, then I would bet that we will have a legal challenge, and I would bet that we will win the legal challenge. And does that still suck for us? Yeah. I mean, I don’t want to have a major lawsuit against our own government. … But look, at the end of the day, if someone’s going to try to threaten something that existential, you go to the mat and you fight.”

Facebook kan tvinges til at fjerne krænkende indhold
MediaWatch:
“[EU-domstolen] har taget stilling til en sag, som den tidligere østrigske politiker Eva Glawischnig-Piesczek har anlagt. Hun var tidligere en del af partiet De Grønne i Østrig. Hun bad i 2016 Facebook om at fjerne en nedsættende kommentar om hende. Kommentaren omhandlede partiets opbakning til en minimumløn til flygtninge.”
Facebook er bagud med at gøre data tilgængelig
The New York Times:
“But nearly 18 months later, much of the data remains unavailable to academics because Facebook says it has struggled to share the information while also protecting its users’ privacy. And the information the company eventually releases is expected to be far less comprehensive than originally described.”
En uge uden Facebook er godt for helbredet
Nieman Lab:

Forsiderobotterne er på vej ind i de danske medier
Journalisten:
“Norske Aftenposten har automatiseret 90 procent af forsiden. Og Svenske MittMedia har sat robotter til at styre forsiden hos godt 20 netaviser, bortset fra tophistorierne. Automatiseringen af forsider tager fart – i Danmark er JP og Herning Folkeblad blandt frontløberne “

Fortroppen og bagtroppen i den digitale journalistik
Rasmus Kleis Nielsen er dansker og chef for Reuters’ ‘Institute for the Study of Journalism’.
Rasmus Kleis Nielsen:
“The rearguard thinks the problem is that the world has changed too much. The vanguard thinks the problem is that journalism hasn’t changed enough.”
Amerikanerne er bekymrede over sociale mediers indflydelse på nyheder
Social Media Today:
“According to new data from Pew Research, American news consumers have significant concerns about the impacts of social media on news coverage more broadly, with bias and sensationalism key among the noted issues.”
Sky News sender på Amazon Twitch
Digiday:
“For publishers, Twitch represents several opportunities. As a user-generated content platform it’s still relatively uncharted territory for professionally-produced content, but it’s growing. “
Nu kan du tilføje podcats til dine Spotify-playlister
TechCrunch:
“Spotify this morning announced a new feature that will allow users to add their podcasts to playlists. With the addition, users can create their own custom playlists of their favorite podcasts, or even those that combine music and audio — similar to Spotify’s own newly launched ‘Your Daily Drive.‘”
Apple News+ lanceret i UK og Australien
Digiday:
“‘It seems that it hasn’t hurt publishers as much as expected, but not for the right reasons,’ said Rob Ristagno CEO at consultancy The Sterling Woods Group. ‘Mainly it has been a relative failure with consumers so the cannibalization hasn’t been as great as expected.'”

Her kan du læse nogle af ugens historier og tendenser indenfor forretningsudvikling i mediebranchen. Altså det, der handler om at tjene penge.
Hvorfor lykkes de fleste udgivere ikke med abonnementer?
Ja, måske fordi de ikke investerer nok i det:
What’s New In Publishing:
“Almost 4 out of 10 publisher executives said that their company’s resource commitment to subscription initiatives is in the single-digit percentages, and an overwhelming 75% say they spend less than a fourth of resources on subscription efforts.”
Tracking-cookies kræver aktivt samtykke
TechCrunch:
“Europe’s top court has ruled that pre-checked consent boxes for dropping cookies are not legally valid.
Consent must be obtained prior to storing or accessing non-essential cookies, such as tracking cookies for targeted advertising. Consent cannot be implied or assumed.”

Registreringsvægge er igen inde i varmen
Digiday:
“A publisher using a registration wall can drive subscriber conversion rates 10 times higher for its known users compared to its anonymous users, said Michael Silberman, svp of strategy at Piano. Yet news publishers have historically been reluctant to use them, in part because they can drive readers away and put short-term pressure on a site’s traffic.”
Færre annoncer gav flere penge
Digiday:
“Germany’s Burda Media has been on an ad-culling mission, cutting a quarter of ad impressions across the eight sites in its digital portfolio. The impact: Digital ad revenues rose slowly back up, with an average 38% year-on-year lift recorded across all its titles in 2018.”
Stadig uklarhed om fordelene ved at lytte til brugerne
I øjeblikket er der i mediebranchen (igen) en tendens til at forsøge at engagere lyttere, seere og læsere i den type journalistik, der bliver lavet og de historier, der bliver dækket.
Nieman Lab:
“Does audience engagement-focused reporting actually improve a news organization’s revenue?
After $650,000, nearly three dozen newsrooms’ experiments, and one year later, it’s still unclear. Four major journalism funders pooled the money for a fund to support a variety of outlets’ attempts at connecting the use of audience engagement and transparency tools with increased reader revenue. A reportstudying the first of three rounds of grants highlights some best practices and promising results — with a few ‘if’s.”
Mediebranchen er på vej ind i en slankeperiode
Digiday:
“That being said, publishers must face the reality that the digital media businesses are likely to be smaller than once imagined, according to Bloomberg Media CEO Justin Smith […] ‘The reality is that the industry is not dying, it’s not going extinct, but it’s actually just going through a process of slimming down.'”

Taboola og Outbrain går sammen
To af de firmaer, der leverer de – lad os sige “problematiske” – anbefalinger, du ser i bokse rundt omkring på internettet, går nu smmen.
TechCrunch:
“The aim: to bulk up to a customer list that will now number 20,000 online properties and an audience of 2.6 billion to compete better against the likes of Facebook and Google, online advertising giants that present the biggest competitive threat to both adtech startups and the publishers that are Taboola and Outbrain’s customers.”
Le Gammeltoft regner med vækst efter Aller-deal

Microsoft says it’s committed to dual-screen devices because they allow people to get more done on the go.”

Vi kan ikke stole på systemer kun bygget på deep learning
