@mrjohncrowley @MattNavarra @CharlieBeckett A temporary subsidy to struggling local big publisher, and no support for hyperlocals? A tiny contribution by Facebook standards. Colour me skeptical. Looks like a cheap PR stunt - which it desperately needs right now.
@sambrook The focus on the (once) big local players is irritating, because of the complete absence of hyperlocals. Reward failure rather than innovation, seems to be the message…

I like this take a lot. Facebook is an incredibly effective accomplice, in that it magnifies existing problematic behaviours better than anything before. But it is not the source of the problems. twitter.com/mims/status/10…
New post! 👉 onemanandhisblog.com/2018/11/first-… First experiment with Adobe Premiere Rush for quick video editing
I had my first proper (but quick) play with Adobe Premier Rush - and I’m tentatively impressed. onemanandhisblog.com/2018/11/first-…
Today, @mediagazer is over-inflating my own sense of self-importance… t.co/2q148l3r9… 
@JosephStash And Facebook has such a great record of continuing funding. Look at that Facebook Live money…
@JosephStash Essentially two year training contracts to cover towns and villages that have lost any coverage from the big local publishers.
I’d hold off the congratulations until we see if any of these roles still exist two years from now… twitter.com/DomPonsford/st…
Facebook is really getting a LOT of positive publicity off the back of a donation of less than 0.5% of its quarterly profit to local news. Bargain. onemanandhisblog.com/2018/11/no-fac…
So, it seems @MartinSFP and I are too cynical: onemanandhisblog.com/2018/11/no-fac… Facebook is giving £4.5m to help train local journalists - but that’s a tiny amount of money for the company.
Tip @mediagazer Facebook pledges £4.5m to fund 80 new UK community journalists in global first for social network: pressgazette.co.uk/facebook-pledg…
Kudos to @pressgazette’s @FJMayhew who has the real story on Facebook’s “donation" to UK local journalism. I’ve updated my post with link and commentary: onemanandhisblog.com/2018/11/no-fac…
Just cleaned the en suite toilet so yes, obviously, I’m procrastinating.
@PastryPlate Sometimes I give in to my worst impulses. shame
@JaneBSinger It’s worth reading the book the movie is loosely based on — The Accidental Billionaires — if you haven’t already done so. It dives deeper into that.
That “Facebook help for local papers” reported yesterday? It might not be what you think: onemanandhisblog.com/2018/11/no-fac… (h/t @MartinSFP)
New post! 👉 onemanandhisblog.com/2018/11/no-fac… No, Facebook isn’t about to help the local press out
@Timleroyis Yup. Exactly my take on it.
@Timleroyis Here you go: t.co/dlj3bvHwT… 
@Timleroyis Not yet. But give me a moment.
I’ve updated this piece with a link to Christopher Blair’s response to my piece. Fair to say - he’s not happy. ->> Partisan satire and the mechanisms of unintentional misinformation onemanandhisblog.com/2018/11/partis…
I wrote about the Washington Post piece about how partisan satire can actually become unintentional misinformation — onemanandhisblog.com/2018/11/partis… — and the satirist in question is less than delighted: facebook.com/adamtinworth/p…
