I teach journalism at NYU, write the blog PressThink, direct NewAssignment.Net, and try to grok new media. I don't do lifecasting but mindcasting on Twitter.
If —based on our calculations —we think they'll like it, we'll show your followers your latest tweet. Cool with you? http://gigaom.com/2014...
Our machine learning, not your decision to post, may decide what gets sent to your Twitter followers. Cool with you? http://gigaom.com/2014...
By me, March 2011. Anatomy of a Twitter screw-up; My own. http://publicnotebook.wordpress.com/2011... Apology and crash investigation for a bad error I'd made.
....@citizenXIV I know people at @TheAtlantic. What it would take for them to go with those allegations vs. Frum's bar: not the same world.
From the Washington Post's @ErikWemple: The difficulty with David Frum’s apology for bogus photo-fakery allegations. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...
Credit to @davidfrum for a clear apology. Now that I understand his skepticism I want to understand his credulity and air of fake certainty.
From @davidfrum. An Apology: "I questioned the authenticity of a photo from Khan Younis hospital. It was a mistake." http://www.theatlantic.com/persona...
Company making money from "content marketing" will take some of the profits and support real journalism. http://www.forbes.com/sites...
Couple of reporters asked me to interpret @pierre's update on First Look. I posted here what I would have told them. http://pressthink.org/2014...
American tech companies have been hurt abroad as the NSA's spying tarnishes their reputations. Boomberg News: http://www.bloomberg.com/news...
Some sanity from @davidfrum. "I’ll review & reply." https://t.co/pjauwImq2c Yeah, I would hope so. If I'm @JBennet I'm insisting on it.
We do experiments on you, sure. So do others! True you had no idea, but you were ignorant of their machinations too... Why are you so upset?
...@jpegjoshua Yep. No innocence points in "fall over each other." Viewlessness minimums unmet, headline fails. See: http://pressthink.org/2013...
Alongside the production of news mainstream journalists have to reproduce their own innocence. Thus: AP's two heads. http://www.politico.com/blogs...
Sure, we experiment on people. We know they have no idea even though they "consented." When they find out they're upset. We do not know why.
...@jimschachter @wnyc Aren't we at the point where stories like this http://www.wnyc.org/story... include a "what they should have done" part?
I don't know what @davidfrum thought he was doing here but, wow, bad call. http://www.bagnewsnotes.com/2014... Bad for @TheAtlantic too. (via @ericuman)
Really rich coming from a dude who worked for an administration that spent an inordinate amount of energy on trying to sell doctored photos to the US public. - Anika
Seriously, it seems like a classic case of projection. - Victor Ganata
If you haven't seen the clip of Olbermann savaging the NFL for its two-game suspension of a wife beater http://www.vox.com/2014... —you should.
Good to see that CNN is broadening its approach to politics and breaking from the pack. http://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2014...
Let's run an experiment on Facebook, rather than the other way around. They shift to opt in. Let's see what happens. http://www.theatlantic.com/technol...
My cheat sheet — the key points —for today's announcement by @pierre. First Look Media shifts direction: http://pressthink.org/2014...
"I get irked when elites get credit for publicly taking 'bold' positions that other folks came to much sooner." http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab...
Dunno of a news site on the net more aware of its mission and ready to carry it out (come what may) than @techdirt. http://www.beaconreader.com/project...
My cheat sheet — the key points —for today's announcement by @pierre. First Look Media shifts direction some. http://pressthink.org/2014...
A "journalistic situation," def. When a group of people who share a common interest depend on YOU for their news. http://pressthink.org/2014...
Just published at my site, PressThink. First Look Media shifts direction some. http://pressthink.org/2014... My interpretation of today's news.

There have been so many, but by common agreement David Gregory and @meetthepress reached a new low with this segment. http://www.mediaite.com/tv...
