Facebooks problem med private grupper

ProPublica kunne afsløre, at amerikanske grænsevagter håner migranter i en lukket Facebook-gruppe. Politiken har også skrevet om det, hvis du vil læse om det på dansk.

Mathew Ingram fra Columbia Journalism Review har samlet op og skriver om “Facebook and the private group problem”:

“In response to the ProPublica story, a spokesman for the CBP said that the agency has initiated an investigation into the ‘disturbing social media activity,’ and Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost said the posts are ‘completely inappropriate and contrary to the honor and integrity I see—and expect—from our agents.'”

Facebook overvejer “indholdsbestyrelse”

Facebooks fokus på “white supremacy” er for snævert

TechCrunch:
“While Facebook has made changes in some of these areas — Facebook banned white supremacy in March — auditors say Facebook’s policy is still “too narrow.” That’s because it solely prohibits explicit praise, support or representation of the terms “white nationalism” or “white separatism,” but does not technically prohibit references to those terms and ideologies.”

The Information:
“Alexa devices have become popular for playing music and other basic chores, but voice hasn’t become an industry-transforming technology on par with mobile, as many predicted.”

Interview med manden bag ReadWriteWeb

Lyt til et interview med Richard MacManus, der startede ReadWriteWeb som en blog tilbage i 2003 og solgte det i 2011. Du kan også høre om, hvorfor han i dag udgiver et nyhedsbrev.

The Business of Content (podcast):
“These days, nearly every major news organization employs multiple reporters who aggressively cover the tech industry, but a decade ago tech coverage was dominated by blogs like TechCrunch, Mashable, and VentureBeat. Back then, these blogs churned out scoop after scoop, competed for traffic, and sometimes even went to war with each other.”

Her kan du læse nogle af ugens historier og tendenser indenfor forretningsudvikling i mediebranchen. Altså det, der handler om at tjene penge.

Er Axel Springer blevet digital på bekostning af journalistikken?

Columbia Journalism Review:
Den tyske mediekoncern Axel Springer har bygget en imponerende digital forretning op, inspireret af kulturen fra Silicon Valley.

Men væksten er ikke sket på journalistiske produkter – i stedet er pengene tjent på forretningsmodeller, såsom rubrikmarkedet, der tidligere hang sammen med journalistikken, men nu er adskilt fra indholdet.

Det placerer Axel Springer et sted, hvor de skal vise, at de også kan lave forretning på journalistikken.

CJR har skrevet en lang artikel om koncernens historie, dens udvikling og udfordringer – samt hvorfor det er vigtigt for dem at holde fast i journalistikken.

Tag dig tid til at læse artiklen, den er det hele værd.

Mediebureauer vil have mere ud af mediernes indhold

Digiday:
“Today, media agencies want to pick up signals that delve beyond the individual site and page information or categories of sites, into the tone in which an article is written in, the words themselves and images on a page, or perhaps even a specific paragraph.”

Det risikerer at introducere en problematik, som jeg skrev et blogindlæg om hos Medietrends i 2017:

“Behind the initiative is data editor Dan Rosenheck and his passion for sports which he also channels to The Economist’s sports blog Game theory. Another advantage of covering sports is that it provides readily available, clean and comprehensive data.”

…og sådan mindskede de churn med nyhedsbreve

Digiday:
“Ultimately, the goal is to drive new subscriptions or keep current subscribers engaged. Based on reader research, The Economist learned one of the main reasons people churn is because they find the amount of content to read overwhelming.”

Undersøgelse: Få medier personaliserer

Cxense har lavet en undersøgelse blandt amerikanske, britiske og “mainland”-europæiske medier, som du kan læse som PDF.

Der er en række konklusioner, der ikke bør overraske, og du kan læse, at det er (måske overraskende) få medier/redaktioner, der bruger personalisering:

Journalism.co.uk:
“Cxense’s ‘Don’t stop the press’ survey shows that 46 per cent of reporters have a negative outlook for the future of the journalism industry, with less than ten per cent believing that working in the industry gives them job security.

However, it also found that only one in five journalists said their newsrooms use data to deliver personalised content to their readers.”

? Udvikling og tech

Her får du et kig på nogle af ugens historier indenfor den digitale udvikling og teknologi, der enten direkte eller indirekte kan have betydning for medier/udgivere.

Californien vedtager bot-lov

The New Yorker:
“On July 1st, California became the first state in the nation to try to reduce the power of bots by requiring that they reveal their “artificial identity” when they are used to sell a product or influence a voter. Violators could face fines under state statutes related to unfair competition. Just as pharmaceutical companies must disclose that the happy people who say a new drug has miraculously improved their lives are paid actors, bots in California—or rather, the people who deploy them—will have to level with their audience.”

MIT Technology Review:
“Now the latest deepfake experiment—an app called DeepNude that “undressed” photos of women—is playing out those nightmares. First reported by Vice, it used generative adversarial networks, or GANs, to swap the women’s clothes for highly realistic nude bodies. The article quickly inspired a viral backlash, and the app’s creator shut it down.”
