Journalists, let's agree to stop asking for "feedback" and "story ideas".

Instead, let's change our invitations to be more accessible (and relevant) to our communities. https://t.co/SxTP22LELw

people are still discovering content on Facebook and IG, but are sharing what they find in messages.

you may want to consider how to provide more ways for your audience to message you directly https://t.co/olr2SPorw8

#socialmedia as an indicator of #news fatigue?

RFE/RL's @AlinaZivanovic says messaging service Telegram can do just that.

"When people mute or leave [Telegram] channels, we adopt a 'less is more' approach."

"At @RFERL, we consider Telegram channels subscription offerings like newsletters.

Our audience growth is largely driven by user recommendations, meaning we must offer content people want to share"

What trends will be shaping #journalism in 2023? Selective news avoidance. "More users are actively avoiding the news, often involving important stories such as politics, because many people feel that media coverage is overly negative" @risj_oxford https://t.co/OjCRwtdhwy

TikTok and its Chinese parent company ByteDance spied on Forbes journalists, including me. Read the shocking story from @ebakerwhite. https://t.co/2wMtyRaEDl

[alina živanović @alinazivanovic]

TikTok’s success secret is not its algorithms, it is the design:
• Scrolling makes bad recommendations less annoying
• Vertical video from the start, not an afterthought
• Emphasis on the content, not subscriptions
• Exploration over exploitation
