These rules are not only for the social media manager about how official newsroom tweets and posts are formulated, but also about how newsroom employees can post in their personal capacity. Coming up with the right strategy for your newsroom isn't easy, however, and there are many factors to consider.

The News Media Alliance sent a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg strongly opposing its plan to label quality news as political advocacy. "Facebook's plan to group quality publishers alongside political advocacy, which its ad archive will do, is a fundamental mischaracterization of journalism. Newsgathering and reporting about politics is not the same thing as advocacy or politics. By lumping journalism and issue advocacy together, Facebook is dangerously blurring the line between real reporting and propaganda, and threatening to undermine journalism's ability to play its critical role in society as the fourth estate."

They can watch 24/7 cable TV news, listen to the radio or learn about the world's goings-on from on-demand podcasts. To keep up, local news outlets must innovate and offer their readers new products that meet their unique needs. That's where Open Matter comes in.

When local newspapers shut their doors, communities lose out. People and their stories can't find coverage. Politicos take liberties when it's nobody's job to hold them accountable. What the public doesn't know winds up hurting them. The city feels poorer, politically and culturally.
According to a new working paper, local news deserts lose out financially, too.

The benefits of mobile journalism (mojo) are clear: All reporters are able to harness the power of their smartphones to produce high-quality content on the go, while newsrooms can engage with audiences more frequently for less.
However, while the majority of people have a smartphone in their pocket, implementing a mojo workflow into the newsroom can be a challenge.

As North Korea and Malaysia were roiled in a diplomatic dispute, one entrepreneur in Japan and his budding news service were about to reap some attention.

But now, post-Facebook algorithm changes, the number of mobile readers visiting news sites directly has surpassed the number visiting from Facebook. New data from Chartbeat shows that, while Facebook traffic has been declining since the October 2017 change, both Google Search and direct traffic have been steadily climbing.

One point seven billion. The world wide web is now comprised of more than 1.7 billion websites. An explosion of expression beyond what we have ever seen, nor could have fully imagined.
In open societies it is the epitome of free expression as recognized by the European Charter. It changed how we communicate, how we learn, how we shop, how we sell, how we are informed of the issues of the day and how we form opinions about the issues of the day.
