Like sunshine on magic, a fascinating photograph has been posted that instructs  what London’s Evening Standard reporters are encouraged to write.

The 10-box grid sets out the ingredients that make a story for the web in 2018.

It’s a mix of fear, anger, curiosity, drama, weather and natural disaster.

The internet has responded to it with drama, outrage, anger and resignation.

It is a ‘suicide note for journalism’ one commentator tweeted.

The list of what reporters are encouraged to write about is here

Is it fake? Surely? On balance, surprisingly not. It appears to be real. It even gets carried in The Guardian media pages with a picture credit to the Evening Standard.

The list of things I was encouraged to write about as a reporter

It got me thinking.

News desk requests are nothing new.

My career in journalism is behind me, so I’m not betraying any confidences when I say that the list of things I was encouraged to write about as a reporter probably didn’t bear close public scrutiny.

At various points in my career I was encouraged and discouraged to write about:

• Yes, to stories about dead kids.
• Yes, to stories about dog shit.
• Yes, to stories about ‘happy ill people’.
• No, to pictures of people in wheelchairs or with tattoos.
• No, to damp flat stories.
• No, to stories about three people from our patch held by the US military in Guantanamo Bay.

None of these edicts were ever written down. All were always passed on by word of mouth.  If you think they’re bad, there’s a couple of other passed-down instructions which I’m not publishing because frankly, they’re actionable.

But what is new about the Evening Standard pic is that someone has codified them, printed them and an image has been shared on Twitter. Their grid is driven by web traffic rather than prejudice or that elusive experienced-based judgement call of ‘news sense’. That’s the journo’s sense that people on the patch will be more interested in a campaign to save a hospital than a story about, say, a damp flat.

Without looking at the numbers of what works, newspapers are dead. But what if the numbers don’t point to what could be called journalism?

Good journalism

I’m a huge fan of good journalism. BBC reporter Emma Vardey’s brave, courageous doorstepping of the the Republican Saoradh leadership in the wake of the murder of Lyra McKee is truly magnificent.  There is still some good journalism going on on a local level although newsrooms are smaller places.

But on the other hand, Reach’s Black Country Live‘s 26 Facebook posts over four days have just four updates that could be called local news. Most of what is posted are memes, Black Country dialect and culture jokes and re-nosed national stories. To a former journo who got a bollocking for covering a story 100-yards off the patch that’s a slightly a weird feeling.

Newspapers are on borrowed time. Some are making the shift to digital well. But they risk this shift by setting fire to 100 years of hard-won trust by pimping extreme weather stories in short-term dash for numbers. I’m seeing a backlash against this from newspaper readers on Facebook tired of being conned that three foot of snow is coming.

What this means for comms people

It means, Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore.

The local newspaper that prints verbatim every cough and spit and is widely read is a thing of the past.

Some remaining print titles rely on a stressed junior reporter cutting and pasting your press releases. But here’s a warning. Impressive print cuttings from those hollowed-out shadow titles is not a long term strategy.  It’s not even medium-term. If you’re spending five days on signing off a press release without thinking about it, I’d say you’re wasting your time.

It all points to the point that you need to educate the client. In this case, it’s the organisation and quite possibly yourself.

To paraphrase the Evening Standard grid, if your content doesn’t tick those boxes chances are you shouldn’t be targeting the newspaper.

It’s the morning after local government elections.

I’ve voted.

I want to know who has won my ward.

I want to know who is in control of the council.

So why is it so very hard to find out these two basic pieces of information?

I live in the West Midlands but I’m interested in the results in a number of places across the country. The trek to track down the information has proved to range from difficult to the almost impossible.

Councils with no mention of results on their homepage.

Or mention of the results on their elections page.

Or mention that the votes are actually getting counted later in the day.

Or sodding pdfs that won’t download.

Election night is graft, I know

All in all, I’ve covered election night counts for 20 years and I get the hard work that goes into them. They can see 20-hour days from people who try really hard to do the best they can with outdated websites and patchy wifi. This is absolutely not a dig at any one council in particular but rather a sector-wide complaint. Anyone who worked last night deserves a medal.

But I mean all this with love. If we struggle to get people out to vote we’re not helping ourselves if we make it really hard for people to follow the results or catch-up in the morning.

Social media is great in realtime, but…

I’ve been an advocate for posting results in realtime on social media. That’s great. But ward results very quickly get lost in the timeline. They’re part of the answer. Not all the answer.

But if we can’t tell people the results, no wonder turn-out ain’t great

So, I ran a quick survey of the 16 councils that are closest to me. I could have gone on but it was too depressing.

45 per cent had no mention of election results on their homepage

50 per cent had no overall party-by-party breakdown.

Not one told me which party was in charge. Not one.

If local government can’t master something so simple as telling people who is in charge then what confidence can when they tell people they’ll crack this smart speakers and 5G lark?

Every year Facebook set out where they’re heading over the next few years and every year there’s a few surprises.

So, I’ve watched Mark Zuckerburg’s F8 address which sets out where Facebook is headed so you don’t have to.

What did it make me think? That one constant with being a communicator is change and being able to adapt to change.

Research shows the best content is video, then pictures, then a link and then text. More on that here.

This announcement is about what’s next. Here’s some thoughts on how it impacts public sector comms.

Direction of travel: privacy and private messagers

It’s clear that Facebook have been stung by misuse and criticism. It’s also clear that the old Facebook of pages, news feed and the blue and white branding are on their way out.

The focus from Facebook will be privacy.

For the future, people want a privacy-focussed social platform.

• Mark Zuckerburg, F8, 2019

Tools for business to buy and sell on WhatsApp will follow and there’s a lot of talk about Facebook Messenger being the safest, securest and quickest private messenger service.

Key message: Private messaging apps Facebook own like Messenger and WhatsApp will get more important as will messaging through Instagram.

Friends and family… and communities in groups

It would be wrong to translate the shift to privacy to more private messages.

It means a focus on smaller groups. Your friends and your family are that.

Two years ago, Mark Zuckerburg caused major upheaval by declaring an end to click-bait. How? He switched focus from naked clicks on pages to friend and family. The shift overnight undermined the business model of many media companies.

This year he reinforced the direction of travel to keep it towards friends and family.

So, your mates and you brother will be seen more as you scroll through your Facebook.

Our friends and family are always going to be the core of our social lives.

– Mark Zuckerburg, F8, 2019.

Key message: Not PMs but you’ll see more from your mates and your Mum and Dad.

Direction of travel: Groups, groups, groups

Facebook groups are going to be big, big, big.

I’ve been a keen observer of the role Facebook groups have played for a couple of years. They’re going to play an even bigger role. Why? They give a sense of community and there’s a bit of walled garden from the nasty wider internet.

I could not be happier about this.

In a world where people are joining fewer physical communities and there is less social cohesion its more important than ever to be part of comunities that are meaningful to us.

There are already more than 400 million members of Facebook groups that are meaningful to them.

We believe there is a community for everyone so we’re building on a major evolution to redesign the Facebook app to make communities as central as friends.

Overall, we’ve made it a lot easier to find and connect to groups with much better suggestions  and search.

It all adds up to the feeling that groups are at the heart of the experience just as much as friends and family.

– Mark Zuckerburg, F8, 2019

This is huge, huge, huge.

If you’ve been a member of the Public Sector Comms Headspace Facebook group you’ll have seen the benefits for some time. A walled garden of shared interest it has engagement rates that dwarf any pages I know. You can find it here.

But it does mean that public sector comms people need to massively switch-up their overall Facebook game. The idea of chucking something onto a page and forgetting about it has become as pointless as pinning an announcement to a lamp post.

Extra tools have been announced to clamp-down on misinformation or harmful content in Facebook groups.

Message: Communication on Facebook will increasingly be through groups.

Direction of travel: Seriously bad news for pages

Here’s the bad news for the public sector. Your page on its own is pointless. It’s something I’ve been saying for some time and has been hugely reinforced.

What’s interesting is not just what Zuckerburg said but what he didn’t.

The biggest loser in this announcement are pages. There was nothing of note said about them. When you bear in mind that the public sector pages real estate is huge and extensive this is really, really important.

The direction of travel for Facebook is clear: friends, family and communities through groups. Pages don’t feature in that at all.

Message: Stop putting all your eggs into the Facebook page basket.

Direction of travel: Facebook are keen on stories

Facebook are really keen on you making more stories with your content.

These are upright filmstrips that can be created with text, video, stickers and emojis.

I’m not a huge fan but if the direction of travel is towards rewarding them this is something that needs to be worked on if you want to reach people.

Message: Look afresh at stories.

Direction of travel: Instagram is not just for pictures it’s for buying and donating

Instagram has been a platform of growth for years.

The big changes announced here will delight charity comms people. A button to help people donate to a cause close to their heart has been announced. Aside from that, a shopping channel has been launched and Facebook are looking at ways to allow business to use the platform.

So, ‘merch link in bio’ will become a thing of the past. That means ticketing for events suddenly opens up as a viable strategy.

They’re also improving Instagram stories, improving private interactions and making the camera better.

Key message: Instagram has just got a lot more interesting to communicators and marketers looking to sell stuff.

Direction of travel: they’re having a re-brand and trying to win your trust back

The blue and white logo will go and will be ‘modernised.’ You won’t hardly see blue on the app and website from sneak peaks of the new platform.

So, white backgrounds. That’s the colour of purity, right?

They’re also stressing a new approach based on the principles of private interactions, encription and safety. They also talk of ‘interoperability’. That means how Facebook brands like WhatsApp, Messenger and the main platform can navigate to each other. On top of that, secure data storage is more important. So is ‘reducing permanence’ (translation: In other words, they don’t want you do be frightened that something you say as a kid will be dug-up to blight your future.)

Key message: Facebook are staging the largest re-brand in corporate history.

In summary: Big changes will require some big thinking from public sector people and a new use for some old furniture.

I’m running a new workshop to help public sector people understand how to better use Facebook.

I’ll be joined by Sarah Lay for VITAL FACEBOOK SKILLS at a city near you.

A few weeks back I was asked for a list of decent apps that I’d recommend for comms people and that always gets me thinking.

Rather than a list of things that look great but never use here’s a list of apps that I do use on a regular basis and that I’d hate to delete from my phone.

Some I use to create content while others are for keeping tabs on things.

I’ve taken as a given the main social channels of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. I’ve also taken it as read that if you are an android user you’re using things like Google sheets, docs and forms.

As I’m an android user, these apps are android. You may well find equivalents in the app store.

Capturing and storing

Screenshot Touch

Sometimes you find yourself scrolling through your timeline and see a tweet or a post that catches your eye.

If you do need and you need to capture it then this app is really handy.

Launch it and you’ll have a camera icon on the screen that you can use to take pictures that are saved to your gallery.

You can download it on android here.

Pocket

Seen something handy posted online that you’d like to save for later?

The Pocket app is a really useful way to save things. Rather like a pocket library Pocket acts to save your links.

Aside from saving your own links, you can also use key words to search for content on a particular content. So, need a look at everything on Facebook advertising that’s been saved by Pocket subscribers you can dive in.

You can download Pocket on android here.

 

Mobizen

This app captures records what is on your screen at a particular moment in time.

You launch the app and then you hit record.

The video is saved as an mp4 clip in your gallery that you can use as a separate video later.  Useful for capturing a timeline or a Periscope live video.

Caution: it’s not great at recording sound and will record you coughing after you hit the red button.

You can download Mobizen here.

Creating content

 

GIF Maker Editor

The GIF is a firmly established way of looping a clip or a set of images.

GIF Maker Editor is a way to create your own GIFs that you take from someone else’s video or your own video.

This saves the GIF to your own device and allows you to repost.

So, that video of your brother or sister falling over a banana skin can have a life longer than just a quick guffaw.

You can download GIF Maker Editor for android here.

Zombodroid Meme generator

When Sean Bean dies the obituary may well say that the One Simple Does Not man has died.

An image that communicates a point through some of the raw materials of pop culture.

You can add text to the image to make the point you want to make.

This app allows you to access established memes as well as upload your own images for the meme treatment.

You can download the Zombodroid meme generator here.

Phonto

Adding images to the internet?

The Phonto app allows you to upload images and layer text on them.

Handy for events, posters and a way to add text to brighten up an image you are about to post.

Once created, the image is saved to your device as a jpg.

You can download the Phonto app for android here.

Video

Kinemaster

The kinemaster app is the flagship of the forest of editing apps. For this I doff my cap to my workshop colleague Steven Davies.

It can edit in portrait, landscape or square as well as add cutaways, music, text and sub-titles.

This is perfect for topping and tailing your content.

You can download the Kinemaster for android here.

Framelapse Pro

Clouds scudding across the sky and workmen building a bridge.

There is a way to capture video as a framelapse which allows you to capture 24-hours of activity as a 60-second clip.

The advantage of this app is that you can tailor how long the clip will last against how long the activity will take place.

You can download the Framelapse Pro app for android here.

1 Second A Day

This app allows you to create a video diary capturing a second of every day.

Somewhere between a framelapse and a diary this app is a fun way to capture video content.

I love it. Credit to Sophie Ballinger for spotting this.

My children acting the goat? The view from the train? It’s in the movie.

You can download the 1 Second A Day for android here.

Glitcho

 

Maybe, you want to make it look like a pencil drawing in the manner of an A-ha video. Or perhaps a piece of pop art. This app allows you to do that.

Boom!

You can create a clip that stands out hugely.

You can download the glitcho app for android here.

VHS Cam

There is something glorious about looking back at old video footage.

If you were posh enough to own a VHS camera, you’ll have footage which jumps slightly and has tracking lines through them.

You can download VHS Cam for android here.

Twitter Video downloader

It’s tricky as heck getting an app that will rip a YouTube video. I’ve not seen anything that can really work.

However, this app works well in ripping video from Twitter. You can change the resolution from 1280 to a space-saving 320.

Of course, the usual rules apply of not breaching other people’s copyright. Don’t. On your head be it.

You can download the Twitter Video Downloader here.

 

Photography

 

Snapseed

Snapseed hands down is marvellous.

You can edit with a comprehensive range of tools that a few years ago you’d have to pay serious money for.

There are 11 set template styles and 28 tools contained here.

About 10 years ago, the free Google product was still behind the paid-for platforms. That’s understandable. But this free Google product is an excellent way to edit images on the go.

You can download the snapseed for android here.

 

Sharing

Regrann

Instagram is a huge platform that focuses on images and video.

The Regrann app allows you in effect to retweet something that’s caught your eye which has been posted by someone else.

The app lets you to cut and paste while adding an acknowledgement to the author.

If you are running a corporate instagram account this is really handy as it allows you to share other people’s content.

You can download regrann for android here.

 

 

 

Concentration

White Noise – calm concentrate

I spent years working in offices and find that being around people meant I got more done. It also meant I got less done with daft interruptions. 

So, the White Noise app is a happy medium between the idea of working in a work environment and not having to listen to people saying ‘if you’ve got a minute.’

Rain is the most productive part of this.

If only I could work in an open plan office on the top of Haystacks in the Lake District.

You can download the White Noise – calm, concentrate app here.

 

Collaboration

Slack

Slack has almost cultish devotees who use it to plan their lives and the lives of their team. 

I’m not quite at that stage of a relationship with the product but it is useful in working with people.

You can download Slack for android here.

Blogging

WordPress

It’s been 10 years almost since I started this blog and I’d be lost without it.

WordPress is the platform of choice. It’s hands-down the best platform for writing and chucking up content.

You can download wordpress for android here.

That’s my list. What’s yours?

I’ve never thought that human comms was a digital thing.

You know it when you see it and Transport for Greater Manchester have hit upon a rich seam with their road signs.

Rather than give bald travel advice they use wit and style to get their message across.

By doing this the signs evolve from an offline thing – IRL as my son would say – to something that gets posted and shared online.

Ahead of the crunch Manchester United v West Ham game that the home team needed to win…

United need three points but you don’t!!! slow down.

You can see it here.

Ahead of Manchester United v Barcelona…

Pique time will be Messi

Busy time in Manchester tomorrow with the Reds facing an unfancied side from Spain. The @MENnewsdesk tells us where the travel deadlocks will be, and posted a very creative info sign from Transport for Greater Manchester https://t.co/6WPZD6Kahs pic.twitter.com/kdDjlsUMZN

— Souter PR (@SouterPR) April 9, 2019

What happens when road signs speak human?

They get noticed and they get shared.

Bravo, road sign people of Manchester.

Bravo.

Thanks to Nick Hill for flagging this.

 

In my early days as a communicator, media relations was the stand-out skill I needed.

I worked for a newsy council that had not long come out of special measures and fell at the intersection between warring newspaper groups. Three daily papers and three weekly papers fought it out with two radio stations and two TV channels. It was a busy time.

Media relations is still important.

But as news has moved from print to digital the key to media coverage has evolved from the ability to create 300-words of press release with a photocall to what content you can supply for Facebook.

Facebook remains the behemoth as we head to towards the third decade of the 21st century.

As I’ve launched a new workshop Vital Facebook Skills with Sarah Lay here are some things for you to know.

10 reasons why every communicator needs to take Facebook seriously

It’s a platform that has the numbers

In the UK, there are 41.8 million people who have used Facebook in the past four weeks. If we take the current UK population as 64.1 million  that means 65 per cent of the population is a regular Facebook user. (source: Ofcom)

 

It’s a platform that is growing

Facebook users are going up not down. The Cambridge Analytica scandal is something to be aware of and there has been a movement to quit Facebook. But this has had limited impact on the bigger numbers. In the UK, from 2017 to 2018 the number of UK Facebook users rose by 5.2 per cent from 39.7 million. (source: Ofcom here and here.)

It’s a place that’s local

Every man woman and child likes nine local groups and pages. That was the result on research I’d carried out. It has become the Parish pump. And the place new parents hang out for advice.

And the Polish community in your town. (source: original research here).

It’s the first port of call for community issues

A Facebook group mobilises support for an issue locally. In the old days it was a pen, paper and a clipboard to collect names. Now? It’s a Facebook group to turn clicktivism to rapid activism.

That’s something you need to be aware of and listening to.

 

It’s an effective place to target adverts

You can reach people you want to reach if you have budget. When you use Facebook you give it a pile of data. That means if you are after a married brass band enthusiast who lives within 20 km of your town hall you can target them and only them. Facebook accounts for 20 per cent of the global ad market, the FT says.

It’s a place where people don’t like to like public sector pages, TBQFH

In research I’ve carried out, just three per cent of the population like a public sector page. You can have good content. But you need other ways to go and reach people where they chose to hang out on Facebook.

That’s in local groups more often than not. (source: original research).

It’s a place that reaches older people

Ipsos research shows that Facebook reaches 7.8 million people in the UK aged over 55.

Often older people are on the platform to keep in touch with family.  (source: Statista).

 

It’s a place where the traditional media now is

As newspapers sell less print papers their digital reach has grown. Reach plcs’ Marc Reeves points to the Birmingham Mail’s 20,000 print copies and its online audience being 40 times larger through Birmingham Live’s 350,000 subscribers and its other Facebook footprint.

That huge.

It’s a place where video is watched without sound

Video is an important driver for traffic on your page or profile. But 85 per cebt of content is watched without sound. Why? Because people are out and about or at work or sharing a sofa with someone watching TV. (Source: digiday.)

 

It’s a channel that’s predicted to rise in the UK

Research suggests that Facebook is not going away any time soon. It predicts a rise in Facebook use in the UK to 42.27 million by 2022. (source: Statisa). That means its going to get more important and not less.

There’s a minority of people who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

They’re the first to complain and often among the last to help.

They crop up in the comments section of the Daily Mail and you’ve seen them in the local paper and from time-to-time on your Facebook page, too.

Social media has given them a platform and their indignation helps keep media companies’ share price in the black.  

Nobody minds challenge, but the self-righteous eye-rolled trolling isn’t that at all. It’s a drip-drip of corrosive bile that can sometimes inhibit some people from posting. It can only end in a world that is much poorer.  

So, it was so refreshing to see a newspaper group shun the clickbait of faux outrage for something far better and by doing so ironically reach a wider audience.

The story is this. Police officers were photographed eating breakfast getting a briefing in a branch of McDonalds. A debate broke out on Facebook with some criticising the officers for their public break. So, credit EssexLive for shunning easy outrage with this headline:

We don’t care that Essex’s cops stopped for coffee and neither should you.

Their enlightened stance was welcomed by a senior officer responsible for them.

What builds on it is this piece of human comms for an Inspector who on his own Twitter gave public support and gave an explanation of what they were doing:  

Really pleased for such a sensible response. Personally it was nice to see my incredibly hard working officers had a chance to get hot food (which is rare), and proud they chose to use their meal break to have a team meeting, remaining visible in the town. https://t.co/UxwfQbaPPa

— Matt Cornish (@CIMattCornish) April 10, 2019

Not for the first time, sharing the sweets to give social media access to frontline people can bring dividends.

• An every day occurance.
• Which became a residents’ picture
• Which became a Facebook post
• Which became a news story on the web
• Which became a tweet from a police officer shows the complexity of the media landscape in 2019.

But through it all a human voice still cuts through.

Okay, so this isn’t PR and comms exactly…

But a special case for the BBC Brexitcast podcast needs to be made on the theme of looking to communicate with a human voice.

What is Brexitcast?

The idea is simple. BBC journalists put together an occasional – and more recently daily – podcast to summarise what is happening with Brexit and give intelligent informal analysis.

What you get are BBC journalists you may see for 45-seconds on the BBC News at Ten given space to breathe and to kick around ideas. Free from the shackles, they’re also allowed to behave like human beings. So, their frustrations, fatigue and nail colour also form part of it.

If I could break it down by numbers, it is 10 per cent Newsnight, 25 per cent humour, 10 per cent running-on-empty tiredness, 40 per cent insight and 5 per cent speculation about the significance of the colour of Laura Keunssberg’s coat (baseless as it turns out).

MPs talking like humans

Fascinatingly, the informal approach also rubs off on occasional guests such as this MP who talks about his Brexit coping strategy:

“How long do you spend in your hole?”

MP Andrew Percy tells us about his special hiding place in Parliament. 😂

Listen to #Brexitcast on BBC Sounds 📲 https://t.co/MPSYZWoNEZ pic.twitter.com/fRCqvQHujh

— BBC Sounds (@BBCSounds) April 6, 2019

As this snippet posted to Twitter shows, you get a disarming insight into the life of two MPs. One a Remainer and one a Leaver. They’re both affected by the stress of Brexit.

So much so, that one MP finds a quiet spot in Parliament to escape the stress by pulling his jacket over his head and maybe flick ‘v’s at passers-by.

The podcast itself gets published late at night and is my way to get up to speed on shifting developments.

Journalists talking like humans

As a former journo, I get that the most interesting stuff often doesn’t make the news story and Brexitcast gives some degree of flavour.

It captures something of the excitement of breaking news in a newsroom and the down-time speculation around stories that made where I worked such an exciting place to be.

News has changed

This could not have been done the last time the UK was debating its membership of what was then the EEC.

Technology has changed and so has people’s habits of consuming the news.

Things like Brexitcast remind me how antiquated the idea of solely gathering around the telly at an appointed time for news now is.

But what’s also fascinating is that downloads of the podcast on the itunes chart may give future historians an insight into how bothered people were about Brexit itself:

Pic: itunes chart, April 2019

At a time when MPs are being threatened in the streets and dodgy money is funding Facebook attack ads this is a wonderful reminder that at heart we are still British.

If you look hard enough, we still have a sense of humour, still have intelligence and still have tolerance. And the BBC are still finding ways to be as relevant in the 21st century as Robin Day’s bow tie was when I was a kid.

Note. I’ve updated to reflect that the podcast has been daily of late.

I’ve said it before but UK police can be flipping brilliant at delivering wry asides through social media.

The Bulwell, Rise Park and Highbury Vale Facebook page posted this image of a phone as a kind of lost and stolen item.

But reading on, it also seems plain that the phone could be returned but only if there are responses to the £100 of steak its owner took and ran off with and the suggestion of drug dealing.

Wry and witty it paints a picture that the police are human, have a sense of human but also take shop lifting – and drug dealing – seriously.
