#journalism agenda: “Some of the most (and least) effective phrases for a killer headline for social…
Jostling for readers for your listicle on Facebook? Aim for the number “10” in your headline.
Trying to promote a story on Twitter? Emotion-based appeals popular on Facebook don’t translate to Twitter.
Findings from a BuzzSumotrigram analysis of 100 million headlines published between March and May of this year confirms a lot about the clickbait-y, competitive publishing environment of social media.
The analysis reveals nothing particularly surprising, for instance, about the headline phrases that generated the most likes, shares, and comments: “Will make you” was by far the most successful phrase, and emotion-based appeals like “melt your heart” and “make you cry” also do well. (Also, we reported that 10 was the most common number for a BuzzFeed list way back in 2013.)
Publishers beware though: Facebook says its algorithm is cracking down again on clickbait in its News Feed.
Facebook today teamed with Microsoft, Twitter, and YouTube to announce the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism. The unlikely alliance aims to crack down on terrorism and violent extremists by making “[their] hosted consumer services hostile to terrorists and violent extremists.”
Speakers from BuzzFeed, BBC, FT and Facebook discussed findings from the latest Digital News Report from the Reuters Institute in London today
The New York Times on Wednesday relaunched its NYT Cooking recipe site and app as a paid product, part of its continued push toward building a sustainable subscriber-based business.
A subscription to the app will cost $5 every four weeks. Users who don’t pay will still have access to a limited amount of Cooking content. At launch, the Times is offering 28-day free trials, and “for a limited time,” Times digital and print subscribers will continue to get complimentary access.
Google on Tuesday launched a redesigned desktop version of Google News that introduces a more streamlined design, highlights fact checking, and offers users additional personalization.

You don’t say: “Turkey in worst period in terms of rights abuses: Human Rights Association head
Turkey is going through its worst period in terms of rights abuses since the foundation of the Human Rights Association (İHD), according to İHD head Öztürk Türkdoğan.
A group from Peace Mothers, Prof. Dr. İbrahim Kaboğlu, one of the AKP founders Abdullatif Şener and Ankara Platform for Women joined the Justice March launched from Ankara to İstnbul yesterday.

Remember how, during the Brexit referendum campaign, voters were told that “millions of Turks” would swamp Europe and Britain if it didn’t get out? Government ministers went on TV to say Turkey’s accession to the EU was just on the horizon, as a result of a refugee deal brokered between Angela Merkel and the Turkish government. Brexiters assured audiences that visa liberalisation for Turks was looming: the hordes were at the gates. None of that happened, of course. Nor is it about to.

A report by Center for American Progress: “Turkey’s Digital Divides” by Max Hoffman
“Turkey is emblematic of the promise of the digital revolution that is now sweeping through similarly emerging middle-income democracies around the world. Yet its approach to expanding internet penetration is shaped by its own set of political and social conditions. Wider internet access and use could contribute to a more dynamic Turkish economy that is driven by greater online competition and entrepreneurship. Turkey could likewise provide more efficient, responsive government services to more of its citizens by harnessing information and telecommunications technologies. But the efforts to reap these rewards are hindered by wide disparities in internet access and online literacy, as well as by very different customs that divide men and women, the old and the young, and urban and rural citizens. These divides are evident in the nation’s digital disparities and have roots in the country’s recent political history and social norms. At first glance, Turkey’s rapid but uneven economic development over the past several decades—with all of the accompanying social fissures—is akin to the experiences of other developing nations such as Albania, Chile, or Brazil. And Turkey, like other emerging middleincome democracies, is grappling with the need to privatize the internet and communications industries, which are often powerful political players with deep ties to ruling parties and with little interest in fostering serious online competition….

Death toll rises to 43… #IstanbulAirportAttack
The death toll in a suspected Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) attack at Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport has risen to 43, Turkish Interior Minister Efkan Ala announced on June 30
President Erdoğan urged the west to make this a turning point in the fight against terrorism. It is unclear how he wants to solve Turkey’s specific problems
Turkey declares a day of mourning after 41 people were killed in suicide attackson Istanbul’s Atatürk airport, the deadliest and most high-profile in a string of killings and explosions that have shaken the country this year
Among the victims in Turkey were a doting father and a man who had been delighted to get a job at airport just last month
Officials have blamed the Islamic State for the attack in which dozens were killed, and raids and arrests have been carried out across the country.
A total of 19 foreign nationals were killed in the suspected Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) suicide bomb attack at Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport on June 28, Turkish Interior Minister Efkan Ala has announced
At least 41 people were killed and 239 others were injured when suspected Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants attacked Istanbul’s Atatürk Airport late on June 28
Turkey’s descent into violence is of Erdogan’s own creation. The airport attack was in many ways a bloodbath foretold.
The United States is moving toward permanently banning families from accompanying U.S. military and civilian personnel in Turkey, reflecting worsening security conditions there, two U.S. defense sources said on June 29
President Obama said on Wednesday that he had spoken with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey and had reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to fighting the Islamic State.

Elections for parliament speaker continues while Turkey’s presidential office plays logical games to justify ISIS
A senior spokesperson for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s office has indicated the presence of terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) was linked to the prevalence of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria
Turkey’s parliament is electing a new speaker today in a vote that could provide clues as to a future coalition government. Here is the result of the first round
A deputy from the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) has claimed the Turkish military conducted an operation at the Uludere district of Turkey’s southeastern province of Şırnak early on June 30, killing many mules
Ankara is said to be weighing options like setting up a buffer zone within Syria in an effort to contain the ambitions of the Kurds.
Turkey’s top security board has expressed concern over ‘demographic changes’ in northern Syria to the advantage of Syrian Kurds and ‘terror acts’ committed by jihadists against civilians.
After winning seats in Turkey’s Parliament, many Kurds hope the political empowerment will lead one day to the establishment of a Kurdish state.
A row between the leaders of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) has descended into acrimony amid mutual accusations after the latter strongly reacted to the social democratic party’s offer of the seat of the prime minister, describing the proposal as a show of triviality
Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has strongly warned the Turkish government against starting any military intervention in Syria, saying this would have a high cost for the whole country
Having taken oaths last week, Turkey’s newly elected deputies will gather on June 30 at a plenary session for checking the first item on their checklist: electing one member of Turkey’s 25th term of parliament as its speaker for the next two years
The governor of Tunceli, an eastern province, distributed white goods to voters using the means of his office to support the election propaganda of the Justice and Development Party (AKP)
Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), has offered the seat of prime minister to Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) counterpart Devlet Bahçeli in a bid to convince the nationalist leader to form a coalition government with the CHP
There can be no government without the involvement of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), as the largest party in the new parliament, a senior Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) deputy has stated, as jostling to form a coalition government continues in Ankara
The MHP declines a CHP offer to assume the prime ministry in a coalition, saying the AKP must be part of any joint government
As tensions between Islamist and secular groups spike in southeastern Anatolia, scholar Mustafa Gürbüz speaks to HDN about the past, present and future of Kurdish Hizbullah
