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.

💔 Forholdet mellem Meta og medier blev ikke bedre i 2023

Fra Media Voic­es:

"The already-strained rela­tion­ship pub­lish­ers had with the tech giants soured fur­ther in 2023 as attempts to force pay­ments in Cana­da saw Meta block news from its plat­forms com­plete­ly. Esther Kezia Thor­pe rounds up the year in plat­forms as part of our Media Moments 2023 report."

📉 Meta vil begrænse indhold om selvskade overfor unge

Fra hes­tens mund:

- We’re auto­mat­i­cal­ly plac­ing all teens into the most restric­tive con­tent con­trol set­tings on Insta­gram and Face­book and restrict­ing addi­tion­al terms in Search on Insta­gram.

- We’re also prompt­ing teens to update their pri­va­cy set­tings on Insta­gram in a sin­gle tap with new noti­fi­ca­tions."

"If you’re an audio-first pod­cast cre­ator, you can sub­mit your pod­cast RSS feed to YouTube – which will upload your pod­cast episodes to YouTube and YouTube Music. In this video we walk through what RSS feeds are, how they work with YouTube, and how to sub­mit them in YouTube Stu­dio."

🤨 TikTok begrænser dataværktøj

Fra The New York Times:

"Tik­Tok has qui­et­ly restrict­ed one of its few tools to help mea­sure the pop­u­lar­i­ty of trends on the video app, after the tool’s results were used by researchers and law­mak­ers to scru­ti­nize con­tent on the site relat­ed to geopol­i­tics and the Israel-Hamas war."

📺 TikTok lancerer Chromecast-understøttelse

Fra Social Media Today:

"Many more peo­ple will now be able to watch Tik­Tok clips on their home TV screens, with the plat­form today announc­ing the capac­i­ty to cast your Tik­Tok feed to your TV via Chrome­cast."

🛑 YouTube sætter ind overfor true crime-deepfakes

🙅‍♂️ X dropper understøttelse af NFT'er i profilbilleder

Fra TechCrunch:

"The removal of the fea­ture is not very sur­pris­ing giv­en oth­er social net­works have also wound down their NFT exper­i­ments. In 2022, Insta­gram and Face­book both start­ed exper­i­ment­ing with show­ing and post­ing NFTs. How­ev­er, Meta shut down the sup­port for NFTs in March 2023."

😬 Er Elon Musk på stoffer?

Fra The Wall Street Jour­nal:

"Elon Musk and his sup­port­ers offer sev­er­al expla­na­tions for his con­trar­i­an views, unfil­tered speech and provoca­tive antics. They’re an expres­sion of his cre­ativ­i­ty. Or the result of his men­tal-health chal­lenges. Or fall­out from his stress, or sleep depri­va­tion.

In recent years, some exec­u­tives and board mem­bers at his com­pa­nies and oth­ers close to the bil­lion­aire have devel­oped a per­sis­tent con­cern that there is anoth­er com­po­nent dri­ving his behav­ior: his use of drugs. "

Del 2: Digitale tendenser

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

🎧 Her er de podcasts, danskerne lytter mest til

Fra Medi­aWatch:

"Når danskerne lyt­ter til pod­cast, er det nyhed­spod­cast, der er mest pop­ulære. Pod­cast­lyt­terne udvæl­ger også få titler, som de hold­er fast i, vis­er årsopgørelse for 2023."

🍪 EU vil løsne på cookie-krav

Fra Com­put­er­world:

"EU ønsker at ændre de strenge cook­ie-med­delelser, som web­sites inden for EU er pålagt at over­holde. Den nuværende lov­givn­ing ser nem­lig ikke ud til at have den ønskede effekt."

🔮 Nic Newmans bud på 2024

Fra Reuters Insti­tute:

"The dis­rup­tive pow­er of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI) will sweep through the infor­ma­tion space this year at a time of intense polit­i­cal and eco­nom­ic volatil­i­ty around the world. The impli­ca­tions for the reli­a­bil­i­ty of infor­ma­tion, and the sus­tain­abil­i­ty of the main­stream media are like­ly to be pro­found in a year that sees crit­i­cal elec­tions due in more than 40 democ­ra­cies, with wars con­tin­u­ing to rage in Europe and the Mid­dle East."

👋 Substack fjerner nazi-støtter

Fra Plat­former:

"Sub­stack is remov­ing some pub­li­ca­tions that express sup­port for Nazis, the com­pa­ny said today. The com­pa­ny said this did not rep­re­sent a rever­sal of its pre­vi­ous stance, but rather the result of recon­sid­er­ing how it inter­prets its exist­ing poli­cies."

👋 Platformer-nyhedsbrevet forlader Substack

Fra hes­tens mund:

"This was the moment where I start­ed to think Plat­former would need to leave Sub­stack. I’m not aware of any major US con­sumer inter­net plat­form that does not explic­it­ly ban praise for Nazi hate speech, much less one that wel­comes them to set up shop and start sell­ing sub­scrip­tions.

But sud­den­ly, here we were."

🔙 DR genoplever arkivet i "Gensyn"

Fra Medi­aWatch:

"En nyrestau­r­eret udgave af 'Huset på Chris­tian­shavn' og andre min­de­værdi­ge serier vil snart være at finde på DRTV, når DR lancer­er et nyt arkivtil­bud kaldet 'Gen­syn'."

🤨 Branchen reagerer på Googles udfasning af tredjepartscookies

Fra Digi­day:

"The count­down to a (third-par­ty) cook­ie­less Chrome has start­ed. Google is dis­abling third-par­ty cook­ies for 1% of its Chrome users world­wide, which will affect 32 mil­lion of its 3.22 bil­lion inter­na­tion­al users of the brows­er. It’s a small step for Google, but a giant leap into the unknown for dig­i­tal adver­tis­ing.

Digi­day asked ad execs to share their unfil­tered views on the lat­est change."

😥 GDPR har været "gift" for europæiske publicister

Fra Medi­aWatch:

”'GDPR har ikke været godt for nogle europæiske pub­li­cis­ter. Det tror jeg godt, at vi kan kon­klud­ere. Tvær­ti­mod har det desværre vist sig at være gift for dem,' lyder det fra nordisk ind­køb­schef for Omni­com Media Group Claes Braa­gaard."

🤔 Hvordan skal medier reagerer på faldende Google-trafik?

Fra Simon Owens:

"First, I think it’s impor­tant to real­ize that Google traf­fic, com­pared to some oth­er forms of refer­ral sources, is over­rat­ed. The vast major­i­ty of vis­its from Google con­sist of dri­ve-by traf­fic — they’re there to extract the infor­ma­tion they came for and then leave. This means they’re unlike­ly to sign up for your newslet­ter or con­vert into a paid sub­scrip­tion. They’re also of less val­ue to adver­tis­ers."

🎮 Netflix leger — igen — med tanken om spil

Fra Medi­aWatch:

"[...] nu overve­jer ledelsen i Net­flix ifølge unavn­givne kilder, om stream­ingt­jen­esten skal beg­y­n­de at tillade køb i appen, kræve betal­ing for mere ”sofistik­erede” spil, og om der skal være reklamer i spil­lene."

🙋‍♂️ Nye Medier håber, at EU vil uddybe

Fra Medi­aWatch:

Fra hes­tens mund:

🤔 AI rejser praktiske og etiske spørgsmål blandt medier

Fra Media Voic­es:

"Gen­er­a­tive AI has gone pop­ulist this year, with con­sumer-grade GenAI tools now wide­ly avail­able. While it offers new oppor­tu­ni­ties – edi­to­r­i­al and com­mer­cial – its wide­spread adop­tion has also led to eth­i­cal and prac­ti­cal dilem­mas.

😬 Nyt studie: AI-eksperter er uenige om, hvad de har skabt

Fra Vox:

"Their results chal­lenge many of the pre­vail­ing nar­ra­tives about AI extinc­tion risk. The researchers sur­veyed don’t sub­di­vide neat­ly into doom­say­ing pes­simists and insis­tent opti­mists. “Many peo­ple,” the sur­vey found, 'who have high prob­a­bil­i­ties of bad out­comes also have high prob­a­bil­i­ties of good out­comes.' And human extinc­tion does seem to be a pos­si­bil­i­ty that the major­i­ty of researchers take seri­ous­ly: 57.8 per­cent of respon­dents said they thought extreme­ly bad out­comes such as human extinc­tion were at least 5 per­cent like­ly."
