A sala de espelhos e a lacuna geracional

O cenário digital de 2025 apresenta tendências divergentes. Enquanto dados do Pew Research Center mostram que YouTube e Facebook seguem dominantes entre adultos, o comportamento adolescente mudou: o uso do Facebook por este grupo caiu de 71% (2014-15) para cerca de 30% hoje. O X registra apenas 16% de adesão entre os jovens. A credibilidade das redes também é debatida. O The Atlantic destaca que novos recursos de transparência no X expuseram contas políticas dos EUA operadas do […]

Predictions for Journalism 2025.

The Nieman Lab has asked some of the smartest people in journalism + media what they think is coming in the next 12 months.

Dozens of articles with topics such as:

- Why 2025 is all about User Needs

- You'll Get What You Pay For
“Free content will be increasingly synonymous with AI slop that’s barely worth anyone’s time to read or pay to advertise on.”

Highly interesting take! Go for the "boring minutiae" and let the people know what you think they ought to know. [That is: Care less about a) what the audience might want to know and b) is measurable]
Of course, it also remains true that you have to be able to afford it, difficult as a USP.

Exactly, just presenting #facts will not do! Maybe we need behavioral science, maybe also a bit of #sociology to understand how not only individuals process facts.

Getting beyond the fact-check

"Journalism's fight against disinformation risks irrelevance if it fails to consider how the human mind processes and reacts to both falsehoods and facts."

A courts reporter wrote about a few trials. Then an AI decided he was actually the culprit.

For one German reporter, the statistical underpinnings of a large language model meant his many bylines were wrongly warped into a lengthy rap sheet.

“Objectivity is a tricky concept. Ultimately, we’re with the skeptics who say it never really made sense. And yet! For a long time “objectivity” packaged together many important ideas about truth and trust. American journalism has disowned that brand without offering a replacement.
