Facebook og alt, hvad de ejer

Nu kan danske medier blive whitelistet på Facebook

Facebook vil betale Reuters for at faktatjekke bl.a. deepfakes

TechCrunch:
"Reuters Fact Check will review con­tent across the spec­trum of mis­in­for­ma­tion for­mats. [...] Then there’s staged media that’s been act­ed out or forged, like an audio clip record­ed and mali­cious­ly attrib­uted to a politi­cian. Next is com­put­er-gen­er­at­ed imagery that can con­coct con­tent or ad fake things to a real video. “And final­ly there is syn­thet­ic or Deep­fake video” which Bak­er said takes the most work to pro­duce."

Facebook og Twitter vil ikke fjerne Pelosi-videeo

The New York Times:

23 grunde til ikke at bruge Facebooks "boost"-knap

Jon Loomer:
"It’s fine as an “easy but­ton” for begin­ners. That’s all it’s meant to be. Because you’re miss­ing so many fea­tures, so much func­tion­al­i­ty, and so many options behind the Ads Man­ag­er cur­tain.

Maybe you’re stuck on the Boost but­ton. Maybe you’re intim­i­dat­ed by Ads Man­ag­er. I get it. But it’s time to move for­ward."

YouTube-regnskab kan presse Instagram til at dele

Mere om YouTubes reg­n­skab i Ugerevyen fra uge 6.

Digi­day:
"Not only does Insta­gram report­ed­ly rake in more ad dol­lars than YouTube, but Insta­gram does not share a por­tion of that mon­ey with the cre­ators and media com­pa­nies that dis­trib­ute con­tent on its plat­form. That’s dif­fer­ent from YouTube’s prac­tices. In fact, the “major­i­ty” of YouTube’s adver­tis­ing rev­enue goes to cre­ators and media com­pa­nies, Alpha­bet CFO Ruth Porat said dur­ing the company’s fourth-quar­ter earn­ings call."

YouTube lancerer donationer via klapfunktion

The Verge:
"YouTube is try­ing to fig­ure out how to help cre­ators earn more rev­enue through alter­na­tive mon­e­ti­za­tion meth­ods, and its newest attempt reit­er­ates that YouTube is still fol­low­ing in Twitch’s foot­steps.

Clap­ping is the lat­est idea YouTube is test­ing in cer­tain ter­ri­to­ries. Offi­cial­ly referred to as “view­er applause,” the fea­ture allows peo­ple to pur­chase a clap­ping ani­ma­tion that appears over the video they’re choos­ing to sup­port."

Nyt stort Snapchat-redesign i test

The Inter­face / Casey New­ton:
"The redesign takes an app that has long been lim­it­ed to three screens and splits them into five. Snapchat cur­rent­ly opens to the cam­era, with a space for chats to the left and the Dis­cov­er page — which fea­tures a col­lec­tion of ephemer­al sto­ries from friends, cre­ators, third-par­ty pub­lish­ers, and Snap itself — to the right."

? Digitale medietendenser

Her kan du læse nogle af ugens ten­denser inden­for medi­er. Det kan være en ny metode eller til­gang, branchen forsøger at tage til sig.

JydskeVestkystens robot møder kritik i lokalmiløet

DR Nyhed­er:
"- Man und­lad­er den kildekri­tik, som jeg men­er er en helt grundlæggende del af en jour­nal­ists arbe­jde, siger Hans Otto Sørensen.

Artiklen var skrevet af en robot og havde alt­så ikke været igen­nem en jour­nal­ists hæn­der, før den blev trykt i avisen.

Og det er et helt grundlæggende prob­lem, men­er Hans Otto Sørensen."

His­to­rien blev også til et ind­slag i P1 Mor­gen, hvor Andreas Mar­ck­mann (der forsker i automa­tis­er­ing i mediebranchen) blev inter­viewet. Jeg har sam­let link og min­ut­tal i denne LinkedIn-opda­ter­ing.

Nyt værktøj viser, hvad journalister skriver om

Poyn­ter:
"What are jour­nal­ists writ­ing about? It seems like a ques­tion with an easy answer. Just go to a news outlet’s home­page and take a peek, or do a quick inter­net search.

But each of those only offers a glance at what the news has pub­lished as a whole. A new tool from Muck­Rack called Trends offers a uni­ver­sal look at what jour­nal­ists are writ­ing about."

Podcast-guldfeberen falmer for nogle udgivere

Digi­day:
"But the medium’s growth has not solved some core issues. Because of the way that pod­casts are dis­trib­uted, build­ing audi­ences can be very dif­fi­cult. With more than 850,000 pod­casts cur­rent­ly avail­able world­wide (accord­ing to an esti­mate from Spark Foundry’s Chris Yarus­so), pub­lish­ers face a chal­lenge in real­iz­ing their desire that lis­ten­ers will dis­cov­er their pod­casts. And adver­tis­ers, weary of comb­ing through long lists of shows, have begun grav­i­tat­ing toward the largest shows and net­works, putting even more pres­sure on the pub­lish­ers that are try­ing to make mon­ey with one or two shows."

Gyldendal sælger flere bøger digitalt end på papir

Medi­aWatch:
"Hvor mange sol­gte bøger der præ­cis er tale om, fremgår dog ikke. Men det er ifølge reg­n­sk­a­bet især lyd­bøger, der trækker væk­sten i vejret, mens e‑bøgerne kun i "beske­den" grad spæder til. Dermed føl­ger udviklin­gen i Gylden­dals dig­i­tale salg den nationale udvikling, hvor lyd­bøger de sen­este år har været den helt store væk­st­mo­tor bag det dig­i­tale for­brug af bøger."
