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.”

And the information the company eventually releases is expected to be far less comprehensive than originally described.”

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.

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.”
