What’s next in digital publishing, post-pandemic?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With much of the world opening up, Brian Morrisey is thinking about post-pandemic shifts in the media business. Safely distant from the Delta variant in Miami, Brian sees a few things worth watching out for in the last half of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The return of live events is top of his list, maybe because he\u2019s going to Paris next week for his first in-person event since early last year. I\u2019m moderating\u00a0a podcast panel at The Publishing Show<\/a>\u00a0later this month and, like Brian, I\u2019m very curious to know how it\u2019s all going to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other things to watch for include staff shortages and wage pressure; more consolidation; a revival of ad networks, especially those supplying context or working off first-party data; and (Oh God!) some serious cryptomedia projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internet outage sends news publishers scrambling for a backup plan<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What did you do during the great Internet outage of June 2021? Josh Benton at Nieman Lab points out some of the hacks publishers used to get around the 60-minute blackout, caused by Flatly\u2019s CDN going AWOL. My favourite was Alex Hern designating his Twitter feed The Guardian\u2019s\u00a0formal liveblog<\/a>\u00a0for the duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new tool to find stories from underrepresented voices<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Byline Project<\/a>\u00a0comes from Black-culture publication Okayplayer working through the Google News Initiative Innovation Challenge to surface new voices from under-represented communities. The free digital tool helps smaller publishers reintroduce local reporting and connects storytellers to financial support from a broader digital audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Netflix’s Sweet Tooth advertorial in USA Today was ‘beyond irresponsible’<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gizmodo is having a go at USA Today for putting its \u2018financial needs before its integrity\u2019. The newspaper\u2019s crime was selling a front-page wrap-around ad for the Netflix \u2018Sweet Tooth\u2019 series about human-animal hybrids. There was a time when I\u2019d have said, \u2018Don\u2019t be daft, no one would ever believe this is real\u2019,\u00a0but these days<\/a> ????????\u200d\u2642\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
