ℹ️ Hvad er det her?
Hver uge udgiver jeg en opsamling med noget af det bedste indhold, jeg er faldet over i ugens løb indenfor medier, teknologi og det, der ligner.
Tilmeld dig nyhedsbrevet, så sender jeg dig en fin mail, håndskrevet til lejligheden, når der er nyt at læse her på siden:
Bemærk: Du får ikke en mail, så snart, jeg har udgivet nyt – i stedet samler jeg op og sender hyppigst en gang om ugen. Hvis du vil følge med og vide det, så snart, der er nyt skal du følge med via RSS-feed’et.
Indhold:
? Generelt / tendenser
├ Danske mediebrugere: TV > nettet
Danskerne ser avisernes nyhedsdækning på nettet som en mindre vigtig kilde til nyheder end brugere i andre nordiske lande, viser undersøgelse. Tv tager en sikker førsteplads.
→ Danskernes forkærlighed for nyhedssites halter efter [MediaWatch]
├ Deltag i kampen om Danske Mediers digitale priser
Danske Medier indbyder til konkurrencen ” Danske Mediers digitale priser 2017”, som er en konkurrence for alle digitale medier, og som bl.a. erstatter Årets Webavis-konkurrencen, som alene var rettet mod dagbladenes web-sites.

├ YouTube lancerer tv-kanal
Fra MediaWatch:
Den nye service vil i første omgang give folk i USA mulighed for at få adgang til store tv-netværk som ABC, CBS, Fox og NBC. Desuden vil både sportskanaler og dusinvis af populære tv-kanaler blive tilbudt, skriver YouTube ifølge AFP i en pressemeddelelse.

├ Medium lancerer det Snapchat-esque ‘Series’
Udgiverplatformen Medium præsenterer et nyt format:
Series are mobile stories that can be added to over time and unfold card by card with the tap of your finger. This is our first step toward building a new way to read on Medium that’s both seamless and serialized.
→ Welcome to Series, a new type of story on Medium
Hvis du synes, det lyder bekendt, er det fordi, det minder en del om Snapchat Stories (som Facebook har haft travlt med at klone ind i blandt andet Instagram).
Det har Wired da også opdaget i artiklen Medium Launches Snapchat Stories, But for Medium:
The easiest way to explain Series is this: It’s Snapchat Stories, except they don’t expire after 24 hours and you can’t swipe down to open a link. Also you can’t do any of the fun things you can do in Stories. When you’re reading a Series, you click from one screen to the next by tapping on the right or swiping right to left. Some pages have big titles, some have pullquotes, some have a paragraph or two of text. Some have an image you can see all at once, or one you have to tilt your phone back and forth to see in its entirety. If you stop reading in the middle, you’ll drop in where you left off next time. When you get to the end, there’s a page for you to tap and send clap emojis to express your appreciation for the story.
├ Kom indenfor: AI hos Facebook
Hvis du har læst Mark Zuckerbergs meget lange manifest (som blev omtalt i opsamlingen fra uge 8), ved du, at Facebook kigger på at bruge kunstig intelligens til en lang række ting – blandt andet til at bekæmpe ‘fake news’.
I denne BackChannel-artikel kan du komme med ind hos Facebooks ‘Applied Machine Learning’-gruppe, der blandt andet arbejdet med netop det.
├ Kan denne AI finde ‘toxic’ kommentarer?
Fra Nieman Lab:
Jigsaw, the technology incubator within Google’s parent company Alphabet, released a new tool Thursday that uses aims to improve publishers’ comment sections by using machine learning to identify “toxic” comments — defined as “a rude, disrespectful, or unreasonable comment that is likely to make you leave a discussion.”
→ This tool from Google parent Alphabet tries to tackle “toxic” comments through machine learning
└ …og kan små opgaver/spørgsmål?
Det vil NRK finde ud af.
Delt af vores projektleder, Morten Ildal:
On some stories, potential commenters are now required to answer three basic multiple-choice questions about the article before they’re allowed to post a comment. (For instance, in the digital surveillance story: “What does DGF stand for?”)
→ This site is “taking the edge off rant mode” by making readers pass a quiz before commenting [Nieman Lab]
├ Hvad vil Quartz med bots?
Fra Nieman Lab:
Keefe says the Bot Studio, which is funded by a $240,000 grant from the Knight Foundation, will focus on two main areas: How bots and artificial intelligence can help journalists do their jobs better and how news consumers can use them to access news and information. (Knight also supports Nieman Lab.)
→ For Quartz, bots are a chance to build a new path for interacting with news (and news outlets)
├ 4 grunde til, det gik galt for ID2ME
Måske nåede du at høre om den danske smartphone producent ID2ME. I januar lancerede selskabet sin første telefon, ID1, hvilket ifølge Mobilsiden.dk var “en snublende start”.
Nu er det slut, og Computerworld skriver, at firmaet er under konkursbehandling.
ID2ME havde hverken et stærkt og velkendt brand, banebrydende hardware eller en tiltrækkende pris. ID1-telefonen havde en startpris på 4.000 kroner samt middelmådig hardware.
“ID1 var en telefon i den høje middel-gruppe af smartphones, der kostede så meget, at du lige så godt kunne give en smule mere og købe en af topmodellerne fra året forinden, og det var et stort problem for ID2ME,” forklarer Anders Elbak.

├ Kritik af datatilsynet for ikke-håndtering af Google
Datatilsynet vil ikke efterprøve, om Googles dataindsamling lever op til reglerne, for danskerne klager ikke. Det vækker kritik.

Fra MediaWatch:
Avisen vil fordoble antallet af digitale abonnenter inden udgangen af 2017. Det skal ske ved bl.a. at indføre særskilte digitale abonnementer for berlingske.dk og business.dk. Samtidig udvider BT sit betalingsunivers og hæver prisen.

├ Bloggers Delight falder på trafik men stiger på penge
Selvom man mister trafik (blandt andet fordi Mascha Vang har forladt butikken, kan man godt tjene penge, beviser det danske blogunivers.
Det er klart, at i det øjeblik, hvor hun forsvinder, så mangler man den trafik. Den kan vi ikke bare finde hos en anden dagen efter. Men frem for bare at prøve at skrue mere trafik på, så vil vi hellere forbedre os ved at få mere ud af den trafik, vi har. Det kan man også se på vores nøgletal, hvor vi er vækstet igen – selvom vores sidevisninger er faldet. Vi har en mio. besøgende om måneden, og kan stadig vækste forretningen på de besøgstal

├ Læs om Norske Amedias login på tværs af udgivelser
Fra Journalism.co.uk
Noticing a steady decline in advertising revenue, Amedia launched aID (Amedia ID) in April 2014, a log-in system that gives readers access to digital content and is commonly used across all its titles. As part of a three-stage plan, the publisher has been successfully converting existing print subscribers to digital, while collecting user data on registered non-subscribers, and this approach has given them a platform on which to up-sell while reaching out to a younger generation.
└ Hvad betyder Spotifys podcast-planer?
Du har måske/måske ikke læst om, at Spotify barsler med planer om at producere sine egne podcasts, som du kan høre igennem – you guessed it – Spotify. Nieman Lab har skrevet om, hvordan man måske/måske ikke kan tyde de planer:
So what does this all mean? How do we perceive this development, and more importantly, how does it connect with the windowing that’s being done with Stitcher Premium? Is this the real start of the so-called “platform wars” in the podcast ecosystem?
→ Is Spotify’s move into original podcasts a pure platform play or something more open?

├ Boganmeldelse: Lean vs. Agile vs. Design Thinking
Jeff Gothelf (der blandt andet har skrevet en bog om ‘Lean UX’) har udgivet en bog (eller, det er nok mere et essay), hvor han beder ledere tage stilling til brugen af terminologier og tilgange som Lean, agil udvikling (fx Scrum) og Design Thinking (også kaldet designledelse).
Jeg har læst bogen, og du kan læse min korte anmeldelse [Goodreads].
├ Giver din mobil dig stress?
People who admit to relentless refreshing of e-mail and social media report far higher stress levels. […]
The report contains some other disconcerting nuggets. Forty-five percent of parents say that they feel a sense of disconnection from their families, even when they’re sitting in the same room, because of technology. Forty-two percent of constant checkers reckon that political and cultural discussions on social media—if “discussions” is the right word—cause them stress. You get the idea.

├ En mødefri dag hver uge..?
Fra Harvard Business Review:
By giving yourself one meeting-free day per week, you reduce the context-switching that can slow down dedicated project work. You don’t have to spend the 10 minutes before a meeting winding down one task and prepping for the meeting — and then another 15–30 minutes after a meeting wrapping up loose ends and getting your focus back. You simply work.

├ 3 tips til at lede dygtige talenter
Fra Harvard Business Review:
It finally dawned on me that top-end talent doesn’t want to be treated as a member of a class — even if it is an exalted class. They want to be treated as individuals.

└ Udviklere gør op med “Google-interviews”
Fra The Outline:
This interview style, widely used by major tech companies including Google and Amazon, typically pits candidates against a whiteboard without access to reference material — a scenario working programmers say is demoralizing and an unrealistic test of actual ability.

├ Responsiv CSS uden Media Queries
It’s often desirable to effect changes to an arrangement of elements based on the dimensions of their container, rather than the viewport. To solve this problem, the concept of element queries was born. However, element queries aren’t really a thing yet, and Mat Marquis has demonstrated some problems with the concept and reformulated them as container queries.
But these aren’t a thing yet either, unfortunately.

├ UX: ‘Authentication’ på mobiltelefoner
Fra UX Planet:
The login page is one of the most viewed screens of your app. Just to put things into perspective, 75% of people who have to reset their password during a checkout process, abandon it (source). In intranet portals, forgotten passwords are the #1 support requests help desks have to deal with (source). These numbers can be drastically reduced by clear language and a well thought out flow.

└ Annotations bliver en web-standard
Fra Hypothes.is:
Specifically, this announcement means that the data model, protocol and vocabulary for annotations have been agreed to by a diverse group of stakeholders. This is not a trivial accomplishment—simply coming to agreement about what an annotation is and what it isn’t represented a huge part of the challenge. Much effort was spent ensuring that the numerous potential use cases for annotation were covered by what was proposed.
→ Annotation is now a web standard
