6 reasons why most journalists are underestimating the mobile revolution | Cory Bergman

6 reasons why most journalists are underestimating the mobile revolution | Cory Bergman | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it

Most newsrooms know that mobile is growing fast. Everyone can see mobile usage (phones and tablets) creeping up on their desktop numbers. For example, The Guardian recently said mobile visits hit 35%, outpacing desktop at certain hours of the day.  A growing handful of media brands — including where I work at Breaking News — have watched mobile soar over desktop in audience.  And we’ve all seen the stories about the unprecedented growth of tablets, the fastest-growing product in the history of consumer electronics.

 

Soon, mobile will be the primary way people get their news.

 

If that’s really the case, then why isn’t mobile dominating journalists’ discussions on Twitter?  Packing sessions at journalism conferences?  Sitting at the top of “most popular” story lists on journalism blogs?...

25 Completely Bizarre Fortune Cookie Messages | Mashable

25 Completely Bizarre Fortune Cookie Messages | Mashable | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it

Take a scroll through some bizarre, head-scratching fortunes that somehow made their ways into cookies. WTF, fortune cookie? Fortune cookies tend to have a 50:50 satisfying-to-disappointing ratio. Sometimes, you'll get a cookie that's stale, soggy and obviously past its expiration date. What's most disappointing, though, is when your fortune — a term that, for the sake of this post, we'll be using quite loosely — is less inspirational and more ... you know .. WTF-y. A quick Twitter search of the hashtag "#fortunecookie" revealed countless photos of fortunes that left users feeling a little short-changed. Scroll through some of the weirdest below....

This one is a combination perfect for inquiring minds: part content marketing, part PR and part storytelling.... not to mention good humor.

Graduate's job as human scarecrow | BBC

Graduate's job as human scarecrow | BBC | Public Relations & Social Media Insight | Scoop.it
A university graduate from Norfolk finds work as a scarecrow, frightening the birds from a field of crops.

 

It sounds like the ideal job - the chance to sit down, read a book and perhaps idly strum a ukulele.

 

But Bangor University graduate Jamie Fox has to do it in all weathers, as a human scarecrow in a field in Norfolk.

 

Mr Fox, 22, has been employed to scare partridges from a field of oilseed rape at Aylsham because conventional birdscarers have not worked.

 

As well as wearing a bright orange coat, Mr Fox uses an accordion and a cowbell to frighten the birds.

 

Mr Fox, who graduated in the summer with a degree in music and English, earns about £250 a week scaring the partridges from the 10-acre (four-hectare) field.

 

I ring a cowbell and I've even played the accordion, but the ukulele doesn't seem to have any effect on them”


"The farmer said to me, 'Bring a deckchair and a good book'," said Mr Fox, who hopes to find a job in music and is learning to play the ukulele during quiet moments in the field....

Is this a typo I see before me? Unfortunate misspelling of science in this ad in the Islington Tribune.
