@smurraymorris @washingtonpost Blursday. It’s always Blursday.
@AndySoloman @MattHancock @10DowningStreet I suspect people would be more inclined to listen if the government had managed to deliver:
(a) adequate testing resources (b) effective trace and isolate systems.
But it has done neither.
And that leads to a sense that we suffer for their failure in a way they don’t. 🤷🏼♂️
@digidickinson Yup. They’re both a hook and a huge aid to readability.
This is an excellent point, too often missed. #cityjourpol twitter.com/RimaAmin_/stat…
Minor insight: one of the really useful things about writing crossheads for copy with SEO in mind is that the process can sometime throw up structural problems with the writing that need addressing.
@garethr Clearly not a revelatory insight - but one the industry seems to keep having to relearn.
@garethr I’m more interested in the idea of it as part of a diversified revenue stream. It’s become brutally obviously that media businesses that are dependent on single income streams are more vulnerable than those that are diversified.
Heh. @jburnmurdoch has become “one of the journalistic stars of the pandemic” says @Jderbyshire, based on his visualisation work. #cityjourpol
Good point from @Jderbyshire that a genuinely global crisis requires genuinely global teams of journalists to cover effectively. How many of them can the global desire for news support? #cityjourpol
Excellent bookshelves work from many of the panellists #cityjourpol
@garethr There’s some context for that: ad and sponsorship revenue has collapsed during the pandemic. However, newsletters with ads have been easy to do for ages. The new wave are based on emerging tools that support memberships easily.
Well, I suppose the good news that now London is going into more severe restrictions, we’ll finally find out how you get out of them again…
Is anyone out there a Readly subscriber/user?

It’s time for an #interhacktives lecture @cityjournalism t.co/75VeWne0i…
Just unleashed the kraken…un… newsletter, looking at newsletters, niches and probably other things starting with “n”. Oh, and some attention hacking, all wrapped up in a headline that sounds like a 70s episode of Doctor Who.

Walking home around the quay after dropping my children at school. I’ve lived here for 10 years, but I’ve never stopped feeling like I’m on holiday the whole time because I’m by the sea. I hope that never … microblog.onemanandhisblog.com/2020/10/14/sho… t.co/y9PcrJNWa… 
@Nicola_Slawson @alicebroster1 There’s a wonderful song in Frozen 2 where Olaf sings “This will all make sense when I’m older.” It exists purely for all the adults watching to go “nope”.
@MJCarty Note: in lab conditions, which include keeping it in the dark, because UV denatures it.
@Zahra_ZW I must not quote the poem. I must not quote the poem…
@rosieniven @MarcSettle The original HomePods are mainly very, very good speakers, which use computational modelling of the space to tailor their output to your room. They do much of the standard smart assistant stuff - but they are basically a music system, and were designed as such.
@arnehulstein Yup. Exactly what I was thinking.
@MarcSettle @iFilmmakers No - the ProMax has a significantly better camera system. It has things like the sensor shift OIS which the plain Pro doesn’t.
Oooooooh. DolbyVision HDR video capture on iPhone Pro. #appleevent #mojo
