So enjoyed hosting the Product stage at the #PPAfestival yesterday. Loads of great insights from brilliant speakers

[Martin Ashplant @mashplant]

Really looking forward to chairing this on Wednesday. Should be a great discussion

[PPA @PPA_Live]

Ever wondered how social media platforms and publishers could work more effectively together?
If yes, the next #PPADecodes event, Platforms + Publishers is for you.
Join us for a lively debate with speakers from @Meta, @Twitter and @Google next Wednesday.

Something I wrote on why digital publishers need to rediscover their 'why' after many lost sight of it for years https://t.co/s2C8KVSJ5c

[Press Gazette @pressgazette]

"LinkedIn is as a means to get really high-value, engaged, niche interest audiences is really valuable" says @NewStatesman group CPO @mashplant in discussion of how publishers can increase audience engagement #FutureofMediaTech https://t.co/0IoHbV205T

Very proud of the team for getting the redesigned and replatformed @NewStatesman website live today

[Martin Ashplant @mashplant]

Looking forward to being a part of this

[Press Gazette @pressgazette]

Data journalism jobs alert. I'm currently looking for a number of data journalists to cover investment, technology, banking, energy, media and other stuff besides. Might particularly suit brilliant first/second job people looking to make an impact. Send me a DM!

@martin_goffe That hair!

[Martin Ashplant @mashplant]

Brilliant special edition. Well worth getting a subscription for...

[Tom Gatti @Tom_Gatti]

A lot of number crunching, careful reporting, late nights and screen-based eye-strain have gone into this week's special issue - from the whole @NewStatesman team - so I'm excited to finally see it go out into the world. Here are some highlights (thread)

[Martin Ashplant @mashplant]

A bit on why we are turning away from a digital publishng model based on eyeballs

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

The New Statesman has removed network advertising from its website as digital subscriptions reach new highs and its parent company invests in quality journalism and in building communities of engaged readers:

@emmahaslett @NewStatesman Very excited to work with you again too Emma!

[Martin Ashplant @mashplant]

Love this. Top work by my former ⁦@BeanoOfficial⁩ colleagues. And also the first time my work life and that of my primary school teacher wife have aligned! https://t.co/KFUZj2qG68

What @richjm said

[Martin Ashplant @mashplant]

@matthewchampion @karlazabs @ChristopherJM @stuartmillar159 @MiriamElder @PaulHamilos Sorry to hear about this Matt. But you’re amazing and something good will be along soon I’m sure.

[Martin Ashplant @mashplant]

And with more than a million kids having visited https://t.co/UhAQK8djp6 already this month I’m really proud of the team for producing so many awesome quizzes, games and jokes to keep children entertained in these unusual times.

[Martin Ashplant @mashplant]

Some personal news in these strange times. After 2 1/2 incredible years I’ve said goodbye to the amazing people at @BeanoOfficial. And they gave me this to see me on my way.

[Martin Ashplant @mashplant]

Lots more great stuff to come from @BeanoOfficial as underlined by two nominations for @TheDrum Online Media Awards today. https://t.co/Qprmw3ksTZ
