Journalist Involvement in Comment SectionsGenaro Bardy
The document discusses two studies conducted by the Engaging News Project to examine the effects of journalist involvement in online news comment sections. The studies found that when journalists interacted with commenters by asking questions and highlighting productive comments, it improved the civility of the comments. Asking site visitors closed-ended questions about the news content prior to the comment section also promoted greater civility. Preliminary results also suggested that asking questions can increase time spent on the news site page, but more research is needed. The report provides recommendations for newsrooms to reduce uncivil comments and potentially increase engagement through journalist involvement in comment sections.
The document summarizes findings from a Pew Research Center survey on social media usage in 2013. Some key findings include:
- Facebook remains the most popular social media platform, used by 71% of online adults. However, usage of other platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn is growing.
- 42% of online adults now use multiple social media sites, with Facebook being the primary platform for most.
- Facebook and Instagram have high levels of user engagement, with over half of users on each site visiting daily.
The document summarizes the key findings of a survey on content marketing strategies in Asia-Pacific brands. Over half of respondents have a content strategy in place, and most others plan to develop one. Budgets for content marketing are expected to increase significantly in the next year. Most content is currently created for companies' own websites and top social media platforms. Brands use content primarily to improve reputation and strengthen customer relationships. However, measuring the impact of content is still a major challenge for many marketers.
