Del 1: Sociale medier
Her finder du historier om eller fra de store sociale platforme, der har en enorm rolle at spille i kontakten mellem udgiver/afsender og modtager.
🤖 Meta lancerer chatbots i WhatsApp, Messenger og Instagram
“For anyone who has used OpenAI’s ChatGPT, or other chatbots like Anthropic’s Claude, Meta’s AI will immediately feel familiar. Meta sees it as a general-purpose assistant for everything from planning a trip with friends in a group chat to answering questions you’d normally ask a search engine. On that latter piece, Meta is announcing a partnership with Microsoft’s Bing to provide real-time web results, which sets Meta AI apart from a lot of the other free AIs out there that don’t have super recent information.”

🥹 Dengang der var trafik i Facebook
“Sommetider kan det være sundt med et tilbageblik. Læs her om vejen fra de gyldne dage med nærmest uendelig Facebook-trafik – til en ny udmelding om magre procenter for nyhedsmedier.”
🧐 23-årig læser aviser på TikTok
“But lately, there’s been a bright spot. Kelsey Russell, a 23-year-old grad student at Columbia, has been single-handedly resuscitating the lost art of newspaper reading, with a particular emphasis on making it trendy for her Gen Z peers. “I’m just your media-literate hottie that’s gonna help you decide what print media you want to get invested in,” she tells the camera in one of her videos before diving into a copy of New York magazine.”
🤳 Snart kan du udgive på Artifact
“Artifact, the AI-powered news app from Instagram’s co-founders, is adding a major new feature: the ability to post. So far, the app has been an aggregator for news and links from around the internet, but you’re going to be able to add posts directly to the app.”

✅ X overvejer mulighed for, at kun verificerede kan svare
“X looks set to continue its push on X Premium sign-ups, with a new option in development that would enable you to restrict your post replies to verified users only in the app.”
🤔 …og en annonce-fri oplevelse
“Hot on the heels of reports that Meta may be considering an ad-free subscription option for its apps, X may also be exploring the same, as part of its next push to better incentivize X Premium take-up.”
📞 Kald på X bliver formentlig kun for betalende
“I doubt that this will be any surprise to anybody that’s been paying attention to X’s push towards paying subscriptions over the past year.

👋 Farvel til Google Podcasts
“Looking forward to 2024, we’ll be increasing our investment in the podcast experience on YouTube Music — making it a better overall destination for fans and podcasters alike with YouTube-only capabilities across community, discovery and audio/visual switching. Later in 2024, as part of this process, we’ll be discontinuing Google Podcasts.”

“The death of the third-party cookie was one of the top topics discussed during the September 2023 edition of the Digiday Publishing Summit. As it was at the March 2023 edition.
