Happily, despite living in a town on the south coast, we got off pretty lightly from the weekend’s storm: lnkd.in/ex3EuuJ


Well #StormCiara is properly here. I took a quick walk on the beach before the peak of the storm… t.co/KM9ypGkaB…


@jamesrbuk It’s a sinister dystopia where everyone pretends to be your bestest ever friend while trying to sell you something.


Ugh. How depressing. The storm ciara hashtag on Instagram is utterly swamped by brands and influencers trying to mine it for attention. t.co/044OJDPke…

I’m glad I stopped using their products about a year ago now. petapixel.com/2020/02/07/lum…


@Media_Evan Uh, @mschenk has been at the forefront of fact checking and verification for years since he built Trendolizer. It was intended for something else initially, as the name suggests, but has been widely used to spot trending misinformation. (Presuming it’s the same product).


This is EPIC. 👌🏻🤩 twitter.com/ioanna_toufexi…


@JaneBSinger @LordsCommsCom Excellent news!


Well, at least @spectator’s celebratory Brexit mug is a lot more classy than the official Tory party one: shop.spectator.co.uk/01-february-20… t.co/debr57bik…

@emkuntze @JohnONolan I’ve certainly been musing on the distinction between the two since John’s tweet yesterday. And I suspect it is important. But I need more brain time on it.


The head of Apple News steps down after less than a year. It’s looking like the most troubled of Apple’s services offerings. imore.com/head-apple-new…


Depressing but predictable research in journalists’ views on analytics: journalismresearchnews.org/article-journa…


A new report on UK news consumption during the general election shows that many of the things we think about the media and politics are false - and that people’s news consumption is less than 3 minutes a day.

@djknowles22 @corinne_podger @baekdal It’s what I was alluding to in my piece - that TikTok seems to be actively working maintain a more positive environment - but it will be a tightrope act. Good to see that it’s working - so far.


@djknowles22 @corinne_podger @baekdal Fairly sure I told you point (1) several times back in #interhacktives lectures! Never listen to the platforms - they are almost always wrong about their own product (except for specifics about algorithmic weight, etc). Point (2) is interesting. (cont.)


@corinne_podger @baekdal Saw it, read it, linked it in my newsletter.


@corinne_podger @baekdal And, it’s worth reiterating that I’m not suggesting that young people will leave TikTok, just that there are a number of risk factors the site owners need to handle to prevent that happening. Which they might. But equally, they might not.
