Twitter tips: How @Guardian reached 1m followers | Media news | Journalism.co.uk | Giornalismo Digitale | Scoop.it
Community manager at the Guardian Laura Oliver explains how the Guardian's flagship Twitter account is managed and shares her tips on community building

 

The Guardian yesterday passed the 1 million follower milestone on Twitter for its flagship @Guardian account, which acts as a showcase for the top stories and best content from the news outlet.

It is not the Guardian's first account to pass the mark, with@GuardianTech already attracting more than 2 million followers, helped by both being in Twitter's 'suggested users' list in the early days, and arguably by the technology audience being big users of Twitter.

Journalism.co.uk has been speaking to Laura Oliver, community manager at the Guardian, to find out the how the @Guardian account is managed, how it attracts new followers, and to gather some tips on growing a Twitter community.

Managing the account

The @Guardian account is "highly managed" by the community team, Oliver explained. There are three community coordinators who manage the account, with one person focusing on it at any given time between about 8am and 7pm on weekdays. At other times the account is managed by other editorial teams in London and by the US team. Some scheduling also takes place, with the community coordinators using HootSuite to push out content at key times.

The community coordinators "identify stories they think will play well for the Twitter audience, identify stories that need to go out at different times of day depending on what geographic audience we are trying the attract", Oliver said. They are constantly "looking at the language we use, looking at how we cover breaking news events with this account, and how we recommend our journalists and the site sections we have".

Notes From a Long-Distance Investigation

Notes From a Long-Distance Investigation | Giornalismo Digitale | Scoop.it

Lessons from the learning curve involved in big journalistic collaborations and data projects like ICIJ's Offshore Leaks.

 

My involvement with ICIJ’s Offshore Tax Havens project began when the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists asked our Center in Bucharest to act as a reporting hub - mainly for Eastern Europe.

The role of my two colleagues - Sorin Ozon and Adrian Mogos - and I was not only to search for our own stories but to share data with 28 reporters from Romania, Moldova, Belarus, Bulgaria, the Baltics, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, Kosovo, Hungary, Poland, Turkey, Belgium and Cambodia.

Journalists from Russia and Greece were separately able to visit Bucharest to use specialized software that had been supplied to us by ICIJ.

Below are some of the difficulties we encountered along the way, bucketed into different categories.

 

Technical barriers

Scaling up the process

Data confidentiality

Global newsroom

Recognize the opportunities

How to: get started in data journalism | How to succeed in journalism | Journalism.co.uk | Giornalismo Digitale | Scoop.it
Advice from experts and trainers on how to start turning statistics into stories

 

"We've got so much data being published every day that you have to get these skills, you can't ignore the open data movement and you can't stay any longer without these skills. You need to get them."

Those are the words of Marianne Bouchart, a web producer for EMEA and data journalism project co-ordinator at Bloomberg News, which neatly sum up the importance, and opportunity, for journalists to get to grips with data.

In the 21st century, almost everything is logged electronically in some way or other. Making sense of the data is a growing necessity among journalists but, for some, that first step from the safe world of words to an alien landscape of numbers can be intimidating.

"I think it's easy to get scared by data journalism," continues Bouchart, "thinking, 'oh my god I don't know anything about numbers and I don't know anything about the subject of this data. Where am I going to start?'

"That's usually the first impression you get when working on a data journalism project and the advice I would give is to forget about fear and just be bold and take this as a great opportunity to learn new things."

So where do you start?

un tool che migliora la curation online: #Pullquote

un tool che migliora la curation online: #Pullquote | Giornalismo Digitale | Scoop.it

È una ventina di giorni ormai che sto provando Pullquote e si sta rivelando un servizio di quelli che potrebbero davvero fare la differenza su Twitter.
Se vi capita di linkare frequentemente articoli, post, ricerche (più o meno lunghi) online avrete spesso l’esigenza di attirare l’attenzione del lettore su uno specifico concetto o paragrafo chiave.
Come fare? Finora si poteva sintetizzare il concetto (sempre badando al limite dei 140 caratteri) e fornire il link per l’approfondimento lasciando però al lettore il compito di ritrovare il punto o leggersi tutto il pezzo.
Ora si può usare Pullquote.


Pullquote fa una cosa molto semplice: evidenzia la porzione di testo da noi selezionata in una qualsiasi pagina web su browser fornendo un link ad hoc già accorciato.


Quando si clicca sul link si arriva sull’articolo ma con il testo immediatamente evidenziato.
L’evidenziazione è molto efficace perché l’estratto è in una finestra in primo piano chiudendo la quale si può leggere l’articolo intero.
In questo modo si può leggere prima il concetto chiave e poi allargare la visione al contesto o al pezzo completo.

[...]

Probabilmente Pullquote è uno di quei piccoli servizi che possono aprire scenari interessanti per l’editoria online: basterebbe immaginare un add-on per editori al sistema per fornire citazioni di testo liberamente visualizzabili rendendo però a pagamento (o con abbonamento) la lettura dell’articolo intero.

Crowdsourcing is here to stay -- now it's about building tools for networked journalism

Crowdsourcing is here to stay -- now it's about building tools for networked journalism | Giornalismo Digitale | Scoop.it
NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen says that many of the cultural barriers to doing “networked journalism” have been lowered, and he is trying to help media outlets develop smart tools and ways of making use of crowdsourcing.

 

As the media have become more social and thereby more “networked” — whether they like it or not — smart publishers like The Guardian and ProPublica have taken advantage of this phenomenon to crowdsource knowledge in a variety of ways. A decade or more after the concept started to become commonplace, the battle over whether it has journalistic value seems to have been mostly won. Now it is about developing a shared vocabulary and methods for helping journalists do it.

The Ultimate List Of Content Marketing Tools | Business 2 Community | Giornalismo Digitale | Scoop.it

In the past year, there has been a major growth of content marketing tools available to content marketers. While many of these tools have existed for years prior to the advent of content marketing and would normally be deemed as simply internet marketing tools, many of them are rechristening themselves as content marketing tools.

Yet many of these tools are quite different from each other and serve vastly different purposes within content marketing. Some technologies may help create content, others like our own Curata help create content, some may help distribute your content, yet others may help you simply measure the effectiveness of your content marketing.

Fare giornalismo senza giornali

Fare giornalismo senza giornali | Giornalismo Digitale | Scoop.it

In un presente editoriale dove le notizie sono a disposizione di chiunque – quanto a produzione e diffusione – l’area di lavoro, lettura e discussione risulta quindi notevolmente cambiata, fino a riscrivere i confini dell’azienda-giornale e della fabbrica delle notizie nei loro processi più basilari. «Da dove le prendi le notizie?»: è la domanda alla quale cerca di rispondere la Director of Marketing & Communication di VoxMedia Callie Schweizter su Medium(peraltro, per restare in tema, altra piattaforma di self publishing che punta a un’identità editoriale). Dimenticati i tempi nei quali il New York Times aspettava il lettore davanti la porta di casa, assisteremmo in questa fase a un processo di inversione dei termini nel quale non è solo il lettore a cercare la notizia, ma anche – se non soprattutto – il contrario. News arrivano sui social network, per mail, nei messaggi privati – nota Schweizter – annientando la natura della prima pagina di carta come ‘manifesto’ in grado di fare agenda (ne parla ampiamente Mathew Ingram nel suo keynote speech al Festival Internazionale del Giornalismo – video) e dell’apertura delle homepage come abitudine per la consultazione routinaria delle notizie. L’approdo a un giornalismo senza ‘prima pagina’ – spiegava Ingram – che trova sempre maggiori conferme.

Slow the Presses! | Newgeography.com | Giornalismo Digitale | Scoop.it

It has been a difficult time for newspapers. The industry has experienced serious challenges due to multiple factors going back at least to the early 1960s when the three major television networks began their extensive and widely popular evening news programs, with the likes of Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley and David Brinkley.

Recent Setbacks

 

The rise of the Internet over the last two decades has posed a much larger challenge. More people were able to access more interactive news sources, including the Internet editions of major newspapers, nearly all of which were free in the beginning. Then there was Apple, with its ground-breaking iPad which made accessing news sources more user-friendly. Newspapers competed hard to design their own applications, which often required paid subscriptions. Of course, Ipad has competitors now and many newspapers have implemented paid firewalls for their Internet sites.

 

However, the Great Recession may have dealt the most important blow to the print edition. The collapse of the housing market brought a catastrophic decline in real estate and help wanted classified advertisements, a key source of revenues. Added to this was a drop in overall business, which also reduced advertising revenues.

 

Some large newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal,and The New York Times claim they have gained circulation. However, looking beneath the gross numbers provided by the Alliance for Audited Media, it is clear that virtually all of the gains are in on line editions, while print editions continue to decline. Even the online gains may be overstated, because a print edition subscriber who is also an online edition subscriber gets counted twice for the same newspaper.

What does Wikileaks tell us about the future of media?

Through its mega-releases of secret documents in 2010 – including the Afghan and Iraq war diaries, and 250,000 US diplomatic cables – WikiLeaks has sparked fierce international debate. While the media have since focused mainly on the fate of the organisation’s public face and editor-in-chief Julian Assange, currently resident in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, many further WikiLeaks releases have uncovered previously secret information in areas such as finance, security, and international conflict.

In addition to its own revelations, WikiLeaks’ model of leak journalism and data analysis has had a huge influence on how the media operates, and how we gather, receive and distribute information about our world. Major news organisations have gone on to create their own whistleblower dropboxes and data journalism projects, and investigative journalist networks have carried out unprecedented mass collaborations to uncover and analyse information from secret documents. 

Beyond the impact and value of these scoops, what are the broader implications of WikiLeaks’ practices and actions, and what lessons does it represent for journalism, policymaking, activism and social change? Does the trajectory of Wikileaks help us identify and understand transformations in these other fields?

In the Era of Networked Local Journalism, Everyone Can Contribute | Street Fight

In the Era of Networked Local Journalism, Everyone Can Contribute | Street Fight | Giornalismo Digitale | Scoop.it
A big opportunity exists for local publishers and media networks to curate and aggregate everything happening in a locality. This is the journalism of inclusion.

 

The dwindling number of professional local reporters doesn’t imply a corresponding loss of hyperlocal content, the way some have suggested. On the contrary, the world of hyperlocal content is exploding — the only problem is that a lot of it doesn’t fit the traditional journalistic definition of “news.” We’re entering an era of networked journalism, and local publishers of all kinds are now contributing to their community’s news across a variety of both traditional and social publishing channels.

Let’s start with the proliferation of high-quality, professional local news. Local news isn’t just reported by the local press. For example, compelling local stories appear in news services like The Atlantic Cities, Colorlines, Investigative News Network, and New Geography that are intended for their national readers — but may not reach the local readership where it has the most immediate impact. By necessity, news services need to cater and appeal to the broader national readership in order to achieve the traffic required for monetization.

It's not about how long-form your content is, it's about engagement with the reader

It's not about how long-form your content is, it's about engagement with the reader | Giornalismo Digitale | Scoop.it
As more sites focus on longform content, Fast Company disclosed some statistics on how its longer pieces have been doing — but the data shows that the real secret isn’t length but ongoing engagement with readers.

 

mathew Ingrram says: "I think Fast Company’s results actually show something very different from the appeal of longform articles per se: since these posts began with “stub” articles and then grew over time, as more news or analysis emerged about the topic itself, I think they show the value of engaging readers by following a story over time and providing some kind of comprehensive background and context, instead of just bombarding them with a stream of news briefs".

Definizione giuridica di Testata telematica: qualche spunto | LSDI

Definizione giuridica di Testata telematica: qualche spunto | LSDI | Giornalismo Digitale | Scoop.it

el grande dibattito sul digitale e i nuovi giornalismi l’ aspetto giuridico è forse quello più in ombra. In epoche di sommovimenti i parametri tradizionali vacillano e non riescono a inglobare il nuovo. E manca ancora, nonostante tutto, un quadro analitico dell’ impatto che nuovi supporti, nuovi strumenti e nuovi interlocutori (per esempio il blogger o il cittadino che partecipa anche come produttore alla costruzione del flusso di informazione giornalistica) producono sull’ apparato dei concetti e delle norme giuridiche.

 

Una delle questioni importanti per determinare il campo dei ruoli è la definizione di testata telematica. Su questo tema pubblichiamo delle note di Deborah Bianchi, avvocato e collaboratrice di Digiti, il gruppo di lavoro messo a punto da Lsdi e Associazione della stampa toscana sul giornalismo digitale


Definizione giuridica di Testata telematica: qualche spunto

di Deborah Bianchi

 

L’ articolo 1 della legge 1948 sulla stampa definisce stampe o stampati “tutte le riproduzioni tipografiche o comunque ottenute con mezzi meccanici o fisico-chimici, in qualsiasi modo destinate alla pubblicazione”, ma a parte questo non vi è una vera e propria definizione di stampa o giornale. Neppure l’articolo 1 della legge 62 del 2001 e’ utile per definire cosa sia la stampa. Esso definisce il prodotto editoriale come “il prodotto … destinato alla pubblicazione o, comunque, alla diffusione di informazioni presso il pubblico con ogni mezzo, … con esclusione dei prodotti discografici o cinematografici”.

 

Per poter chiarire la definizione di stampa forse risulta più utile ricorrere al concetto stesso di stampa dedotto da fonti dottrinarie e giurisprudenziali.

 

Il concetto di stampa così rilevato può definirsi nei seguenti termini: il giornale o prodotto editoriale e’ un prodotto fornito dei requisiti ontologico (la struttura) e finalistico (gli scopi della pubblicazione) propri di un giornale.

 

Requisito-struttura: la struttura del giornale e’ costituita dalla testata che è l’elemento identificativo e dalla periodicità regolare (quotidiano, settimanale ecc…).

Requisito-finalita’: la finalità di un giornale e’ quella della raccolta, del commento e dell’elaborazione critica di notizie di attualità dirette al pubblico.
