Show it don’t tell it: Washington Post om eksponentiel smitte
Nogle gange er det de mest simple ting, der er bedst til at kommunikere et budskab. Og alligevel kan de være de sværeste idéer at komme på.
Poynter:
““Why outbreaks like coronavirus spread exponentially, and how to ‘flatten the curve’,” a wonky visual explainer of how a simulated virus spreads through human contact, was published March 14.

Netflix reducerer kvaliteten med 25%
BBC News:
“Netflix will reduce the video quality on its service in Europe for the next 30 days, to reduce the strain on internet service providers.
Demand for streaming has increased because large parts of Europe are self-isolating at home due to the coronavirus outbreak.”
50% af amerikanerne har set COVID-19-løgne

And when asked two questions about the virus, substantial portions express belief in claims that are in fact false. These findings come from a survey of 8,914 U.S. adults who are members of the Center’s American Trends Panel.”

Gratis indhold om coronavirus er et svært trade-off
Digiday:
“Even though readers are intensely worried in coronavirus coverage, it is difficult to monetize with advertising, with advertisers throwing keywords associated with the virus onto block lists. What’s more, as the scope of the virus’s impact widens, publishers also face pressure to move their stories about the virus in front of their paywalls, stunting a key area of revenue growth.”
Der er kreative mennesker derude:
“Publishers are unlocking fitness classes for people stuck at home”

Coronavirus: Hjælpepakke får ros, men den er ikke nok

Google-støttet projekt skal hjælpe lokalmedier
Jeg tvivler på, case studier er vejen frem, fordi den rigtige løsning for det ene medie ikke nødvendigvis er den rigtige for det andet, men som et sted at hente inspiration kan det være et stærkt værktøj.
Nieman Lab:
“Called Project Oasis, it will survey the existing online news landscape, build a database of digital-native news orgs in the United States and Canada, and then through surveys and interviews build case studies featuring the most successful among them.”
Annoncebranchen regner med lang nedtur
Digiday:
“Initially, advertisers thought the coronavirus would have a short, sharp shock to economy whereas now they’re braced for its effects to linger for months […] For most advertising execs, the coronavirus pandemic now means normal business is on hold indefinitely.”
