The @authorsguild.org & the @societyofauthors.bsky.social both now have 'human authored' schemes using the same logo to “help to identify the work of authors as being created with uniquely human skill and originality.” My new book is registered as Human Authored with The Authors Guild (#4198549).

Cover finalized! Delighted Nam June Paik's estate allowed his sculpture to feature on the cover. It encapsulates some of the book's important themes: how new media remediates the old, the persistence of traditional media forms, how automation is being built on the back of prior media outputs.

It is almost time for the release of the findings of Wave 3 of the Worlds of Journalism Study. Keep an eye out on our socials for more information. In the meantime, we are pleased to introduce you to all the researchers from across the globe who are involved in the study.

The academic journal Digital Journalism (DJ) identified "many" hallucinated references in a submitted article. They desk-rejected the submission & told the authors they're "no longer welcome to submit to DJ." You have been warned: drive.google.com/file/d/1KfLL... @digitaljournalism.bsky.social

A big shout out to all the researchers around the world who collected the data behind the soon-to-be-released Worlds of Journalism Wave 3 top-line findings. Full list of names here: zenodo.org/records/1528...

Follow ‪@worldsofjournalism.bsky.social‬ for the forthcoming findings of the 3rd Wave of this global survey, involving surveys of 32,000 journalists in 75 countries. While you're waiting, take a look at the results of the UK-leg of the survey: reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/sites/defaul...

Our new study finds journalists: 👉 with higher AI knowledge and/or 👉 who work at newsrooms where AI is more integrated see AI in journalism as an opportunity to a significantly higher extent: openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/35... That said, AI is seen as more of a threat than an opportunity.

Important research from @suttontrust.bsky.social about privilege of 100 elite media editors/presenters. Our @reutersinstitute.bsky.social report looks wider—at ALL UK journalists. We found over 22% privately educated. Well above the 7% nationwide: reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/uk-journalis...

On 31 Dec, the @ajc.com will quit print & go online-only. What will happen to the audience attention it attracts? If the pattern's the same as @richardfletcher.bsky.social & I found for @the-independent.com, then none of the print reading mins will move online: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We're happy to share the full questionnaire we used in our recent survey of UK journalists on artificial intelligence: figshare.com/articles/onl... @sinatk.bsky.social & I designed the questionnaire with the assistance of students from @lmumuenchen.bsky.social's @ifkw.bsky.social.

We analysed millions of visits to German & Austrian news websites' paywalls in our new study. It generated press coverage in the US & the UK but this is the 1st coverage in Germany or Austria, although the article is behind HORIZONT's paywall, appropriately: www.horizont.at/medien/news/...

What a relief to have replaced the Twitter/X feed on my website's homepage with a feed of my @bsky.app posts. It feels so much better. A 3rd party solution integrated nicely with the Contao CMS I'm using: neilthurman.com

From October, @taz.de will be the 1st national newspaper in Germany to stop printing & go online only during the week. It will retain a Saturday print edition. In 2018, Taz's MD had predicted the title would have no print edition by 2022. www.heise.de/en/news/Dail...

Thanks to Ray Snoddy for mentioning our new paywalls study in his column in the @themedialeader.bsky.social. Link to the full study here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

@charlottetobitt.bsky.social covers our new paywalls study at @pressgazette.co.uk. Fully study: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... We dug into millions of visits to paywalled articles at 21 news websites to see what prevented & prompted visitors starting & finishing the subscription journey.

The @niemanlab.org just published this piece on our new paywalls study. @speppered.bsky.social does a great job presenting the findings comprehensively, accurately, and with stylistic flair. Thanks Sophie! www.niemanlab.org/2025/02/less... Full paper: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Our new study on news publishers' paywall strategies is featured in this piece in @journalismnews.bsky.social. We dug deep into millions of visits to paywalled news articles on 21 news websites to find out what prompted & prevented non-subscribers starting & finishing the subscription journey.

🚨 New publication! Readers find traditionally-crafted news articles more comprehensible than articles produced with automation. However, they were equally satisfied by the automated & manually-written articles' character of writing & narrative structure & flow journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

We compare audience perceptions of news videos made with various levels of AI-involvement (high, medium & none). On average consumers liked automated news videos as much as manually made ones, but only when the automation process involved human post-editing: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Bill S-210 just passed its 2nd reading in the Commons but it only targets commercial porn sites, not porn on social & search. However, our research shows that, in the UK, >50% of <18s encounter porn on social & search: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Good analysis of limitations of Netflix's recent audience data release: "[with these figures] it's almost impossible to reliably estimate the actual audience in the way we do with terrestrial TV programmes … Without further breakdowns … they only tell part of the story." www.bbc.com/news/enterta...
