Journalism agenda: The Wall Street Journal is the first US newspaper in Snapchat Discover… Automated Journalism…

The Wall Street Journal became the first American newspaper to win a spot on Snapchat’s coveted Discover page, reports Nieman Lab. While British based Daily Mail was the first paper to make it onto the page, WSJ’s appearance as brand number 19 marks a big shift towards a broader demographic on the social network. Interestingly, the paper’s content is not being made available outside the US.

The Wall Street Journal is the first American newspaper to get a spot on Snapchat Discover

The Wall Street Journal became the nineteenth publisher to have a channel on Snapchat’s U.S. Discover Wednesday. It’s the first U.S. newspaper and first business publication available on the platform (and the second newspaper overall — the U.K.’s Daily Mail is also there).

Soon, all journalism will be carried out by robots — or at least, that was the fear among some journalists when major organizations like the Associated Press turned to automation technology to churn out some of their more rote news stories, like quarterly earnings reports and sports game recaps.

 

When breaking news can travel the world in seconds, it is important for journalists to have the tools at their disposal to get to work fast. When searching the web, what quicker way is there to have those tools available than directly in the browser window?

Islamic State militants hacked the Facebook account of a female journalist they had executed, reportedly keeping her death a secret for months so they could pose as her to trap her friends and colleagues.

The truth about Charlie: one year after the 7 January attacks

The Charlie Hebdo attack one year ago was part of a long tradition of fundamentalist assaults on artists.  Understanding this tragic event is critical to defeating Islamist terror today.

This article is written by Professor Bennoune in her personal capacity.

Two French Islamist gunmen of Algerian descent entered a newspaper office in Paris a year ago today and gunned down a generation of Europe’s greatest political cartoonists – many from an anarchist, anti-racist tradition  – along with their co-workers and those protecting them, who also included people of Algerian descent.  In case anyone is confused about the politics of this – it was afar right attack on the left.

It seems that Twitter’s headaches in Turkey never ends: “Twitter misses deadline to pay Turkey’s “$50,000 terrorist propaganda fine”

Twitter has missed the deadline for paying a $50,000 fine imposed on it by the Turkish government for its refusal to remove “terrorist propaganda” from the site. Government minister Binali Yildirim has vowed to take measures to make Twitter pay the fine handed out by the telecoms regulator BTK. This is the first fine of this kind to be imposed on Twitter, but it’s just part of an ongoing battle between the Turkish government and Web providers. As early as 2010, the Turkish government attempted to block YouTube because people in the country were using it to criticize the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa…
Micro-blogging site Twitter filed a lawsuit in an Ankara court on Jan. 7, seeking to annul a fine issued by Turkish authorities over the site not removing content Turkey said was “terrorist propaganda”

Twitter has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the Turkish government disputing a $50,000 fine that it was ordered to pay for an account deemed to be spreading “terrorist propaganda” on its site. Although not revealing its source, Reuters has attributed this development to someone “familiar with the matter.” It’s unclear who the disputed account relates to, but Turkey has experienced five years of continued decline in press freedom, according to global watchdog Freedom House, thanks in part to new media laws enacted to control the Web. Turkey was the top country named in Twitter’s latest transparency report from the first half of…
