News outlets are under pressure to rethink their relationship with Big Tech. That’s one of the takeaways from #IJF last week!

With search traffic declining, the old value exchange is eroding. It’s no longer clear what replaces it in the #GenAI era.

Thankfully, we’re seeing more collective responses from media and the fediverse, alongside technical protections and calls for regulation.

Purtroppo dobbiamo riconoscerlo: il Festival del Giornalismo di Perugia ha deciso di snobbare il Fediverso e di sposare Bluesky

Seguiamo sempre con molto interesse il #internationaljournalismfestival ma, come fondatori di poliversity.it, ll'unica istanza Mastodon italiana dedicata ai giornalisti, non possiamo fingere di non vedere come il Festival di Perugia abbia sposato #Bluesky.

Spiace dirlo, ma il Festival del Giornalismo sta dicendo ai giornalisti abbandonarsi con fiducia cieca a Bluesky, esattamente come nll'era pre-Musk, ha fatto con Twitter
