By default, Facebook users may be able to see the people someone else has befriended on the social networking platform. However, users have the option to hide their friends list from other users if they'd rather keep this list private. Our guide will show you how to stop others from being able to view your...
It's been quite the year. Between brands getting a little too saucy on social media, a literal war breaking out in Ukraine and Twitter being extra even for Twitter, there was a lot to take in. With all this going on, who has time for ads? We do, of course. It's kind of in our...
Meta broke up with publishers (again). The New York Times hoped its reporters would get off Twitter (even before Elon Musk bought it). And we found out how much those media jobs pay (at least in New York City). Here are Nieman Lab’s most popular articles of 2022. (For a little more about what we,...
I met a friend, David Cheruiyot, this fall on a conference trip in Denmark. During a walk across Aarhus, David remarked that the self-contained nature of American journalism often struck him as odd but funny. We mused how this quality in American journalism led it to assume that every American crisis is the world’s crisis....
Americans need local news. Though the supply is dwindling, the demand is there. Without a strong local newspaper, news website, or television station, people will turn to less-regulated forums for information, like Facebook groups and NextDoor threads, full of partisan hate and misinformation. There are few things that have a better effect on governance than...
Since 2017, I’ve met with over 300 newsrooms to explore how to help them scale their audience and revenue goals. The line “We take a holistic approach to reader revenue” has rolled off my tongue countless times. But what exactly does that mean? It means removing the barriers that typically stand between the business and...
The 2020 brutal murder of George Floyd by white police officers was an impetus for many newsrooms across the country to re-energize diversity efforts. These reckonings around racial justice and equity promised internal mentorship programs, diverse event programming, more open conversations about systemic racism, additional funding for the recruitment and retention of diverse news workers,...
If your media diet is at all similar to mine, it’s likely your Twitter (err, Mastodon) feeds are filled with screencaps of disturbingly well-written, sometimes-correct output from Open AI chat. Generative AI with tools like GPT-3 raises the potential for massive disruption of many industries, with its ability to produce deeply convincing content incredibly cheaply....
It seems that another one of those recurring news cycles when we talk about the “end of social media” is upon us. It happens almost once a year, like the holiday season. Yes, for those short of memory, this is not the first time such millenarist titles have been used. Some headlines predicted the end...
To make my 2023 prediction I’ve leaned heavily on artificial intelligence. After creating the script with the AI-enabled Lex Page document editor, I enlisted the help of WellSaid Labs to provide the narration. With AugX Lab’s, I got a transcript of the audio and an automatic video with AI-suggested video cuts and images. To add...
It’s not about who breaks the news; it’s about where conversations occur. Media outlets must face that reality by accepting that content creators and artificial intelligence compete in the same space. On the one hand, content creators are building the communities that publishers envy. On the other, AI will increasingly demonstrate its importance as a...
In the next two years, I predict that community reporting fellowships will become increasingly important in diversifying newsrooms and strengthening local news ecosystems. As DEI efforts to diversify newsrooms stall, these fellowships will help journalists of color to gain experience and share stories that reflect their communities, while filling important information gaps. Local news outlets...
I am exceedingly excited about 2023 and the opportunity in front of the news and journalism sector. If there’s any sort of potential bright spot coming out of some of the current tech platform crises, it’s that news and journalism institutions can offer a counter message and cement themselves as reliable sources of community information...
My only prediction for 2023 is that no one’s predictions (even this one) will be right. The world is too volatile — and I suppose that suggests a prediction — that volatility will not have disappeared by the end of 2023. The world’s nations, well beyond the U.S., are politically volatile. The global economy is volatile in...
As a Black woman who is a scientist, science communicator, and STEM education advocate I’m often curious about why these things are separate. My goal is to be more inclusive, learn from younger audiences. and make science more accessible. As a science news Civic Science Fellow, I use science journalism to engage younger audiences in...
This isn’t so much of a prediction as it is a demand. I’m tired of the both-sides-ism, which we’ve all talked aboutad nauseam, that is still being pumped out of our nation’s top news organizations. ENOUGH already. There are not two sides to hate. There are not two sides to straight-up lies. There are not...
If 2022 was the year of the start of the end of the social web, 2023 will be when we all supercharge our off-platform audience strategies. Meta reps told us in June 2022 that “link posts are trending out of style for user behavior,” the week that Nieman Lab’s Joshua Benton summarized: “Facebook was born...
The crises have been bountiful. A childcare crisis. An eldercare crisis. Long Covid as its own public-health crisis. And undergirding all of these is one more: the crisis of caregivers who are stressed out, burned out, running out of options, and dropping out of the workforce. News organizations — particularly the ones that have spent...
Over the past few years, the online creator world has gone mainstream. More journalists are building and leveraging their online followings, and an increasing number of homegrown content creators are covering big news events. With these changes, the media landscape is becoming more fractured and legacy corporate media is hemorrhaging talent and relevance among young...
In 2023, I hope newsrooms understand why audiences are tuning us out and try to do something about it besides stoking another Trump bump. Journalism today is still executed largely like the journalism of yesterday, from tone to format to process. News is defined by conflict, stories boiled down to two warring sides, presented by a...
The last two U.S. election cycles have seen not just standalone partisan news sites crop up in certain states, but entire networks, each of which operate anywhere between half a dozen to over a thousand news sites. For the most part, these partisan and “pink slime” networks span ideological divides, provide a means to launder...
The more I look at the latest machine learning models, the more convinced I am that these technologies are bound to make their way into newsrooms — sooner rather than later. I could be a bit biased, since I’m currently developing a transcription app for journalists called Stage Whisper, which uses the Whisper machine learning...
