Ordet ‘samleje’ i en artikel får museum blokeret på Facebook
MediaWatch:
“‘Vi er ikke idioter. Vi kender godt Facebooks regler og er påpasselige, men da vi annoncerer for udstillingen ved at vise Politikens anmeldelse, bliver vi udelukket på grund af ordet samleje i anmeldelsens rubrik. Vi ønsker ikke at reklamere eller promovere porno – jeg har også børn, der er på Facebook – men her udelukker de os på grund af ord,’ siger Michael Thouber, museeumsdirektør på Kunsthal Charlottenborg.”
Twitter vil fjerne inaktive konti

Her kan du læse nogle af ugens tendenser indenfor medier. Det kan være en ny metode eller tilgang, branchen forsøger at tage til sig.
Det er risikabelt for medier at bruge hashtags
Nieman Lab:
“We found that using political hashtags is a risky way for news outlets to try to engage readers. When stories included a hashtag, people perceived the news topic to be less important, and they were less motivated to know more about related issues.”
Introduktion til ‘mikroøjeblikke’ for medier
What’s New In Publishing:
“Micro moments is the term which describes this now-ubiquitous digital reflex of turning to our smartphone when we want information, distraction or entertainment. It’s all about immediacy and whim. We expect to have our curiosity satiated at the exact point we think it might need satiating.”
Wikipedia-stifter vil ansætte journalister
Press Gazette:
“Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales plans to a hire a small number of journalists for a “news-focused social network” in the hopes of finding an audience for his failed crowd-sourced news platform Wikitribune.”
Hvad har konspirationsteoretikere på Reddit tilfælles?
Plos One / Forskningsartikel:

“The company first launched as a document-sharing service in 2007 before creating an e-book subscription in 2013. It now offers access to a library of e-books, audiobooks, newspapers and magazines for $8.99 per month.

9 ud af 10 dagblade arbejder med digital betalingsstrategi

JP/Pol, Berlingske og TV 2 bag ny reklameplatform
MediaWatch:
“Platformen bliver lanceret i første kvartal af 2020 og har på nuværende tidspunkt arbejdstitlen Publicistplatformen.

Derfor er det svært at skalere podcasts på abonnement
What’s New In Publishing:
“Why is it so difficult to scale podcast subscriptions? Mostly because of the technical difficulties associated with any subscription offering. Podcast listening is fragmented across dozens of apps, and while a few individual apps offer some kind of paid membership capabilities, that means you can only offer subscriptions to people who listen to you through that specific app. The Apple Podcast app, which has, by far, the largest market share of podcast listening, doesn’t provide any in-app payment processing functionality. “
The Economist henter abonnenter via sociale medier
Digiday:
“Since changing its social media strategy to drive traffic from social media back to its own pages where people can register and, ultimately, subscribe, the publisher has grown monthly referral traffic from social media platforms by 180%. Now, about a third of its site traffic comes from social platforms, said Kevin Young, head of social at The Economist, although he was unwilling to share specific figures on how many subscribers this is driving.”
Financial Times laver konsulentfirma
What’s New In Publishing:
“The consulting firm, FT Strategies, draws on the FT’s data scientists, product managers and digital experts, and uses the FT’s deep experience and expertise in data and technology, to help organisations build successful customer-focused businesses.”
Høj læsetid øger risiko for churn
Medietrends:
“På to af de tre medier stiger risikoen for at læserne opsiger abonnementet, hvis de bruger meget tid på websitet. Forskerne vurderer, at læserne oplever det som tidspilde og at de måske søger hen, hvor de kan blive informeret hurtigere og mere effektivt.”
Aller laver enhed til digital transformation
MediaWatch:
“I spidsen for den nye enhed vil stå Lars Kroløkke med titel af direktør. Han har været en del af Aller Media siden 2014 og kommer senest fra et job som Head of Business Projects. De opgaver, som Lars Kroløkke skal varetage i sit nye direktørjob, ligger i “spændingsfeltet mellem teknologi, data og forretning”, skriver Aller Media i en pressemeddelelse.”
Bonnier lukker innovationshub
Digiday:
“Swedish media company Bonnier News is closing its 2-year-old innovation hub, Bonnier News Next, and will task existing staffers at each of its publishing brands responsible for designing new, revenue-generating products instead.”
Sådan går de store medier efter internationale abonnenter
Digiday:
“The New York Times’ international subscriber base has seen a nearly tenfold increase since Mark Thompson became CEO in 2012, totaling some 525,000 people today. The Times is projecting a fourfold increase in that number over the next six years.”
Blacklists giver medier hovedpiner
Digiday:
“A single word, without the right context, can misrepresent the meaning of the article, leading clients to restrict ads from running on it. Sports writers invariably use the word “shoot” for scoring a goal, but publishers find this word is often on these lists due to connotations with violence, demonetizing any content featuring it.”

Google ruller ‘AMP for Email’ ud i Gmail-app
Marketing Land:

The update is available to all G Suite editions and will be set to “on” by default. Users viewing emails through a third-party app will receive a static version of the email.”
