Flipboard Breaks Ground on Digital Devices As a Publishing Platform With a Purpose
Digital Publishing Made Easy with Flipboard As a Web producer that works with multiple platforms to distribute data, I have connected with many of the major social networks, and one thing is clear, Flipboard has the best support team out of all of them. Google has good support teams for some of their products, but at times it could do better. When I have a problem with a product on a network, I will go to contact the company or leave feedback if there is no other way to communicate. What I have noticed is that technical issues happen all
CNN Makes Millions of Dollars Each Year in Net Profit, But Drops Beme and Casey Neistat
The Cross Section Between Independent Journalism and Corporate Media How many of the journalists that have reviewed the CNN departure from Beme ever startup a successful company? My guess is close to zero. As an independent journalist that has been reporting news with this outlet, in addition to working a full time job, I can say that Casey Neistat may have not been successful long-term with Beme, but at least he took the time to create something organic and attempted to work with corporate media. That is saying a lot more than most journalists. When I review the amount of
Facebook News Is Bad for Democracy, But Great for their Stock Price
Instead of Taking Editorial Responsibility, Facebook Is Just Using Random People in a Survey as Scapegoats Facebook is overhauling their algorithms to better serve the companies that pay them the most in advertising. They have masked it as a user experience problem, but it is a much larger problem of a platform creating wealth through disparity. The big problem with Facebook News and their idea to survey random people to find out which news service is credible is that people will vote on the most well-known publishers. These companies are also the ones that advertise the most on Facebook like
Facebook News Ranking Makes A Mockery of Journalism
Algorithms and Ranking News Based On Popularity Is Not Healthy for Consumers Facebook announced today their plans to change the ranking of news stories to prioritize them based on trustworthy value of the publisher. As a journalist that works hard on providing accurate news on the Web, I can see from a distance the problems and issues that will take place with this new concept. The last presidential election was heavily influenced by advertising misinformation on Facebook. That will only increase with these new plans. In reality, journalism is not a popularity contest with the outlet that has the most

In addition, Facebook has a series of e-learning courses to review called project Blueprint. This initiative comes at an important time in political news coverage. During the recent press conference held by the President-elect, a series of questionable moments took place. The Verge reported: 'When Jim Acosta, Senior White House Correspondent for CNN, attempted to ask Trump a question, the President-elect refused to answer. “Not you. Your
Future Trends in Technology and Entertainment for 2017
Trendsetting is an interesting concept that is organic at the core. People have to want to demand a trend for it to continue. That demand is within all of us, and with this article I take a look at the reasons behind our demands. Each year a set of trends reoccur each month. Some trends have been staying consistent, and some fade away. The technology and entertainment industry has become so redundant that we might subconsciously realize that these trends are taking place, but we are not giving them much thought into why they reoccur in comparison to the trends that die

10 Reasons Why Computers Are Not Journalists
As a journalist, I find that the recent wave of removing jobs from people with experience in the journalism industry to save money with algorithms is unreasonable, unethical, and displays a backwards thinking mentality. To explore my theory, I plan to show the different dimensions of being a journalist, and the capacity a human being has to do the different jobs, along with the current state of electronics and robotics in mass market today. If a company is investing in a limited ability in overall news gathering, it displays to me, a mismanagement of the resources in the company. Let's look
