Anyone have any good videos of campaign folks or academics discussing campaigns use of digital media--strategies, shortfalls, etc. that could be good for an undergrad class? Everything I see is 1-2 minutes that is too high level to be useful or 50 minutes & going into the weeds.

It’s not an accident that TikTok and Twitter accounts like @Phil_Lewis_, @Acyn, @jbouie, Under The Desk News, and @PopCrave show up on my timeline and FYP more than news organizations. That's because these accounts prioritize on-platform reach over driving site traffic.

A few days after the election I got an email from someone who works in social for a large news organization. I've included a screenshot below. It's clear to me that legacy media needs to build a new social media playbook. Let me explain why.

I checked that I filled in the bubble correctly on my ballot about a million times this morning. It's like the election version of test anxiety. #IVoted

Excited to guest lecture today in @tjohnson1960 class on news coverage of women candidates! Unfortunately my lecture will reveal more tricks than treats in how the news covers women. 🎃🧙‍♀️👻

Thanks to the RQ1 newsletter by @markcoddington & @SethCLewis for bringing this great study to my attention! It shows a big and problematic gap, as well as value misalignment, between how journalists and audiences define "good journalism." Congrats to @claumellado & @constnz!
📣 Good news 📣 Good news. Our paper “The Importance of the Human Touch in Journalism” was published in @JournPractice Based on in-depth interviews with 30 journalists and 64 audience members, we investigates what are the professional values that both groups identify as good journalism and to what extent/how do these values align. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
