Hey there, reporters!
Thanks to everyone who recommended scanners for the iPhone-free crowd.
Nick Whitaker from the Google News Initiative pointed out three Google apps:
- Google Drive mobile app
- Google Keep mobile app
- PhotoScan
Larry Geller in Honolulu recommends CamScanner for capturing slides at a conference presentation
That’s a lot to take in already, so I’m gonna keep this one short: let’s talk about the Reuters Digital News Report.
It’s not a “tool” per se, but I picture it as something you can use to convince your editor to do something modern. The Reuters Digital News Report is THE authority on social media, mobile, paying for news, all kinds of stuff we need to know these days.
A few takeaways:
- Yahoo News is more popular than the NYT 😮
- Twitter is a fave among journalists, but it is utterly dominated by Facebook for the average reader
- Only 16% of respondents actually paid for news last year
The RDNR even has a Powerpoint ready for you to show your employer. Do good things!
