Matt McAlister, co-creator of a social app that wants to fill the space left by Facebook deprioritising news content in its News Feed, will be joining panel on new social media strategies for content sharing.
After being heavily criticised for its role in spreading ‘fake news’, Facebook announced a considerable change to its algorithm this year, which will affect the posts that audiences scroll past on their News Feed.
We recently announced four of the projects to be presented at news:rewired – digital stories on Thursday 6 December during two lightning rounds, which will be dedicated to hearing about some of the latest innovations in the digital journalism world.
They included:
– Talk About Local Augmented Reality
– Storination
– Ocqur
– Social Sensor
We now have three more projects to announce, which will also be presented in the lightning rounds on the day.
