Ny bog om Facebook er på gaden

Bogen er skrevet af Steven Levy, hed­der ‘Face­book – The Inside Sto­ry’ — og du kunne læse et uddrag i Ugerevyen fra uge 7.

"The rea­sons why are explored at length in Face­book: The Inside Sto­ry, Steven Levy’s mam­moth new account of the social net­work from its found­ing until the present day. Levy had access to Zucker­berg, Sheryl Sand­berg, and many of their top lieu­tenants and oth­er employ­ees over the past three and a half years, and the result it a reveal­ing look at what the past 16 years have looked like from the offices in Palo Alto and Men­lo Park."

'Off-Facebook Activity' under luppen

TechCrunch:
"“This tool illus­trates just how impos­si­ble it is for users to pre­vent exter­nal data from being shared with Face­book,” it writes, warn­ing with empha­sis: “With­out mean­ing­ful infor­ma­tion about what data is col­lect­ed and shared, and what are the ways for the user to opt-out from such col­lec­tion, Off-Face­book activ­i­ty is just anoth­er incom­plete glimpse into Facebook’s opaque prac­tices when it comes to track­ing users and con­sol­i­dat­ing their pro­files.”"

'Using a per­son­al pho­to and includ­ing per­son­al details in a reporter’s biog­ra­phy made par­tic­i­pants feel they knew the reporter bet­ter, but this feel­ing didn’t influ­ence read­ers’ atti­tudes about a news orga­ni­za­tion more broad­ly,' the report says.

Derfor kæmper lokalmedier med digitale abonnementer

What's New In Pub­lish­ing:
"[...] some express doubt that a viable read­er rev­enue mod­el exists for local out­lets. That’s the posi­tion tak­en by media entre­pre­neur Michael Shapiro in a recent piece titled 'The False Promise of Pay­walls for Local News.' His posi­tion is fair­ly sim­ple: most read­ers won’t extract enough val­ue to pay for local news, and a pay­wall will have a damp­en­ing effect on more viable rev­enue gen­er­a­tors, name­ly local adver­tis­ing. 'By lim­it­ing audi­ence, pay­walls reduce the attrac­tive­ness of adver­tis­ing on local news sites, cre­at­ing some­thing of a rev­enue death spi­ral,' he wrote."
