Excited to listen to @deniselaw_ -- this time at #HHLdn.
.@deniselaw_ says the problem in the media industry is that there are too many people "who think they are Steve Jobs." #HHLdn
.@deniselaw_ & team are working to fix one problem: the guilt factor.

Because subscribers are "constantly overwhelmed by the amount of content I need to read each week."

@TheOnion even wrote about it! #HHLdn
How @TheEconomist developed a new app — to help readers consume its content.

@deniselaw_’s pro tip:
.@deniselaw_ on the importance of testing everything in the process of product development #HHLdn
And this!
UX love at #HHLdn!
.@swidkid09 from @parsely now talking about the recent Facebook algorithmic changes.

Everyone in the room:
Google has taken advantage of the situation and is pushing content to users, says @swidkid09 from @parsely. Look at AMP, Google Chrome Suggestions, etc. niemanlab.org/2018/04/heres-… via @NiemanLab #HHLdn
Look beyond Facebook & Google, says @swidkid09 from @parsely:

-Twitter & Pinterest obviously
-Flipboard is on the rise
-LinkedIn has invested in a global newsroom and wants to take the business further
-Apple News
-Microsoft-sponsored products like MSN

#HHLdn
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Interesting pitch from @L_etter on how journalists should tell "serious" stories in more creative ways in order to reach wider audiences. #HHLdn
Investigative journalism should include, according to @L_etter:
-Humans
-Data -- to make humans real
-Evidence -- to cover your ass

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

Here are some things to consider, if you're thinking of writing for free:

1. Writing/working for free isn't working for free, it's losing money. When you consider how much you *could* have been paid writing elsewhere, you could actually be "losing" up to $800 or more.
2. People in the industry generally know roughly what other publications pay, if at all.

Consider whether the piece is really going to give you 'exposure' or whether other publications will just take it as an indication of what you're prepared to accept.
3. If you really want to do it, and think the exposure is good, what else can you get out of them? A subscription? Top billing, or a front page? Industry contacts? Also find out how many people actually read their publication or visit their site, so you can consider it properly.

Many Iranians criticised one of BBC Farsi’s journalists for her comments on Iran-Hezbullah relations. Some have even threatened her that she won’t be allowed to go back to Iran after the fall of the regime. Many Iranians believe some of @bbcpersian journalists support the regime.
In the past few days some anti-BBC slogans have been chanted by the protesters in Iran. In a comment one of BBCFarsi journalist claims that ‘Trump wants to turn Iran into another Syria by starting a civil war etc’. The same propaganda which is pumped out by Iranian state media.
Some of @BBCPersian journalists block anyone who criticises them. One of its journalists in particular has publicly supported A.Khamenei on his social media pages. I have written to a few MPs and the BBC about. Will see if BBC is interested in opening an investigation.

@waszaaaaak yeah, appears the right to work in Ireland will be (continue to be) restricted. From the reporting I've seen (of the press conference etc) seems the good is that all jobs are open, no min salary, and no registration fee. Will also mean that people can apply for in-work benefits.
@waszaaaaak It seems that it will only be open to people who have not had a negative decision in nine months. But most ppl wait many times that for a refusal. If you had right to work, and then your appeal is refused, you still keep it. After your final decision, you lose it.
@waszaaaaak if you don't have right to work by the time you appeal, you won't be able to apply. So in practice, this means that many people living in DP (who have not had their final decision, but are on appeals), will be not be allowed to work. Also 6 months rolling applications is not good

Another #Maidan massacre bombshell: Yanukovych lawyer says that Yanukovych trial judge has refused to hear testimony & other evidence by pro-Maidan #Ukraine parliament deputy that Maidan leaders organized groups of snipers to shoot police & protesters
and that one sniper was captured by #Maidan protesters but was released by Maidan leaders. This deputy (Artemenko) was one of Right Sector leaders in Spring 2014, now lives in US and reportedly gave such testimony about Maidan massacre to the US grand jury in #Russiagate case.
In contrast, there is not single public testimony by ex-Yanukovych associates, police & SBU commanders/servicemen about order by Yanukovych or other government officials/commanders to massacre protesters, organizing or covering up snipers, or confessions about shooting protesters
