We're witnessing a fresh fracturing of news GATHERING and news DISTRIBUTION. Twitter's always been a tool for both. If your audiences and sources are scattering, here's a thread to help 1/

2/ Some of your key sources & audiences have fled to TikTok. @risj_oxford published a study & ran a webinar on how journalists are using TikTok, this week.
Big thread with study links:

I've been asked 3 times this week by women entering the consulting space how to charge for consultancy services. A thread. How do you decide what to charge? First, you're not doing the client a favour. You're helping them solve a problem. Your charge is partly based on what the client expects to pay for solving that problem. (You can always ask if they have a budget in mind. Most clients do.)

Watching the launch of the report live right now with @rasmus_kleis. #dnr2021 #DNR21

Interesting to see trust issues with politicians are more than twice as poor as with journalists. Also - willingness to pay for news STILL causally linked to TRUST. Big blockage to payment: wide availability of news for free. #journbiz #dnr2021

Just finished 3 x 3-hour Zoom lecture/tutorials for @Sydney_Uni Online Journalism students. Some learnings: 1) Online classes are TIRING for students and lecturers. Some of my students had 3 online lectures today. Go for sustained energy throughout, don't overload at the start. 2) It takes students time to switch their microphones on and off. Allow 10-15 seconds if you're asking someone a question. In a classroom they'd know you're talking to them immediately and respond but online takes that little bit more time and patience.

Over the past 4 years I've run approximately 50 mobile journalism workshops for newsrooms. Here are some thoughts for media outlets keen to get reporters using their phones. #mojo [THREAD] Best practice: create a standard mojo kit. The basics: a tripod, tripod mount, an external microphone and good quality USBC or Lightning adaptor to connect traditional 3.5mm microphones to the phone. One of the best clip-mics is the @BOYAmic BY-M1. boya-mic.com/lavaliermicrop… #mojo
