What We’re Reading The American Prospect / Noah Levenson The Financial Times interviewed an interactive journalist about his work. Then, they made something very similar. “On Twitter, Financial Times staffers, mostly verified users, were congratulating each other for their vision and innovative spirit … The interview I provided to Rininsland was under the guise of their reporting on Stealing Ur Feelings—not creating a new version of it to monetize for ad revenue.”RJI / Adriana Lacy
6 ways to incorporate Clubhouse and Twitter Spaces in your audiencestrategy
“Ahead of this year’s Academy Awards, the Los Angeles Times’ entertainment team hosted a Clubhouse conversation on predictions and analysis about the show with Times reporters, editors and entertainment industry leaders. The Times promoted the event on Twitter, and even live-tweeted some of the conversation happening in the Clubhouse room in order to drive more visitors to the platform.” Platformer / Casey Newton What a failed blog tells us about the power of Twitter “Tweets are simply more powerful than posts on a website. They can be re-shared to a global audience with a single click; they can attract new followers by the millions; and they can set the agenda for many of the world’s most prominent journalists. Trump’s rapid retreat from blogging highlights the degree to which he depended on free reach — not free speech — to advance his malign agenda.” Substack / Hamish McKenzie Substack has announced the winners of Substack Local When Substack introduced the program in April, the email newsletter company said they’d choose “up to 30” writers. This week’s announcement includes 12 publications with 15 writers from across the world. They will split $1 million. Press Gazette / Charlotte Tobitt The Mirror and The Sun both claim to be the UK’s most-read newspaperonline
“Comscore lets its clients choose what to include in their various metrics, depending on how they want to reflect their organisational structure or how they sell advertising.”U.S. Senate
Should local news be considered critical infrastructure? U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), who chairs the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, thinks so. “The message from today’s hearing is the free press needs to live and be supported by all of us. We look forward to discussing how we can make sure that they get fair return on their value.” FiveThirtyEight / Joshua Darr Local news coverage is declining — and that could be bad forAmerican politics
“A growing body of research has found that government is worse off when local news suffers. In fact, inadequate local news has been linked to more corruption, less competitive elections, weaker municipal finances and a prevalence of party-line politicians who don’t bring benefits back to their districts.” (We’ve written about Darr’s research before.)
The Atlantic / McKay Coppins The market for anti-Biden books is “ice cold” “Facing a new president whose relative dullness is his superpower, the American right has gone hunting for richer targets to elevate … ‘In the past, it’s been like taking candy from a baby to write a book about the Democratic president,’ one frustrated conservative editor told me. Now? ‘Nobody is trying.'” Galaxy Brain / Charlie Warzel The internet is flat “Combing through a person’s past to change our opinion of the present is, of course, a pillar of the whole important, yet interminable cancel culture discussion. Which is really about the extremely thorny relationship between the passage of time, personal evolution or lack thereof, and group enforced accountability. None of us seem to even have the precise language to talk about all of this, much less agree upon outcomes. The internet makes this accountability discourse all much harder and more chaotic, collapsing time and audiences and cultural norms upon each other at speeds we barelyregister.”
Vanity Fair / Charlotte Klein “Nostalgia is a hell of a drug”: Will Gawker’s swashbuckling style survive its upcoming relaunch? “‘Gawker’s job (that it usually failed at) was to tell the stories that people didn’t want told. But now we have lots of people doing that.’ … There’s no shortage of platforms willing to host such content, either: ‘Anyone can set Twitter on fire with a Medium post if they’ve got a juicy enough story.'” See what else we’re reading → To close out 2020, we asked some of the smartest people we know to predict what 2021 will bring for the future of journalism. Here’s what they had to say. Nearly 40% of Americans already believe Covid-19 leaked from a lab. What happens if they turn out to be right?
