Two things stand out to me: first, being qualified to apply for something is a far cry from actually having access. What are the terms? How fast is the turnaround time? We're also 1/3 of the way through the year already...how many election groups have access right now?

We will never know how social media impacted 2016 US elections (or 2018 in 🇧🇷 or 2019 in 🇮🇳 or...). But thx to new initiative led by @TaliaStroud and @j_a_tucker working w/@AnnieFranco and @chadkdj, we'll know much more about impact of FB+Insta in 2020 medium.com/@2020_election_re… 1/7

Building a robust differentially private system is hard, but important. A bunch of us have been working with Facebook for awhile to try and figure out how to do it right. We came up with guidelines that we hope will be useful to others: arxiv.org/abs/2002.04049 @SolomonMg

🚨🚨IT'S OUT🚨🚨On January 17, we launched one of the largest social science data sets ever constructed—a compact summary of nearly an exobyte of data. It’s meant to facilitate research on misinformation from across the web, shared on FB.

After roughly a year of working on privacy tech supporting Social Science One, I'm happy to announce that we made our first differentially private misinformation data set available to researchers via secure infra: socialscience.one/files/part….
Suffice it to say: YES! 🤣

Our @agruen on what's happening to Facebook traffic to non-profit publishers in the @NiemanLab -- TL;DR: Referrals are down, but overall traffic is up. There are other audience acquisition strategies than Facebook. niemanlab.org/2018/10/yes-fa…

Keen to put the hundreds of pages of transcripts and audio from my dissertation to the test...
Anyone in news or interview-based social science research want to try this with me? Automated interview transcription _and search_ ... It's always felt too good to be true. zdnet.com/article/microsoft-…

Every organization needs an engineering<>production “bridge”, not just newsrooms. And. Read. Particularly if you’re in news. medium.com/global-editors-ne…
Another way news orgs could be marketing themselves just like other e-commerce companies...
Wouldn't the Facebook ads that open a WhatsApp conversation be pretty great for small news organizations that engage with subscribers? Thinking of @theinf, @theskimm, @stratechery, etc. techcrunch.com/2018/08/01/wh…

Though not the focus of the piece, @heatherchaplin concisely explains a major shift the field must confront. Old-style objectivity isn’t helping it. Journalism _must_, unapologetically, call “fouls.”

As social for news stories declines... Further highlights value of growing audience for other channels (think newsletters) via paid facebook instead of buying traffic for stories. digitalnewsreport.org/survey…
Seriously... NYT used to syndicate video content to JetBlue... But, this surprises me. xitter.cf/working_paper/status/1…
Where are the news orgs tapping into these “original content” budgets? Inform, educate, and entertain, after all... multichannel.com/news/pwc-ot…

Unsurprising, but excellent nugget in an otherwise useful #WWDC18 from @jbenton -- iOS users are 1.5-2x more of news readers than Android (xitter.cf/joshuadschwartz/status…) xitter.cf/jbenton/status/1003721…
And finally, 10. There's some sort of new Apple subscription partnership program, but we don't really know anything about it yet niemanlab.org/2018/06/reveng…
