This drop in circulation is astonishing.

$"According to data provided to City Paper by the Alliance for Audited Media, the Post’s paid average daily circulation is now down to just 97,000, with roughly 160,000 on Sundays. That’s a fraction of the 250,000 average daily circulation five years ago, when the Post was one of the largest newspapers in the country by circulation."

This year, I was asked to write another @niemanlab.org prediction. In this, I say influencers will become journalists, because selling/educating people on lifestyles and feelings has become intertwined with information. www.niemanlab.org/2024/12/infl...

Influencers become journalists

Presented my methods and early findings of my research on Twitch livestream humour across platforms at #aanzca24 earlier this week as part of a PhD candidate panel with Wenjia Tang, @tianyizhangshao.bsky.social, and @yiwenw.bsky.social. More at geofflearnstobefunny.wordpress.com/2024/11/27/a...

Me standing at a lectern giving my presentation with the introduction slide behind me. The text reads, "Existing research into content creation on platforms", "Humour as a means to study cross-platform interactions", "Ethnography and analysis methods", and "early findings".
