"If you want to build a site, the most important article you write is the second article someone reads...If that article is also really good. You can build a reputation...and they put you in a bookmark, follow you on Twitter..." Ben Thompson @stratechery in his paid podcast

We made it free. Well, Channels that is. Sites that use Contextly to get readers reading more can now let readers follow the topics they care about and get notified of new posts, w/o any extra editorial work. A new, direct distribution channel, ftw. blog.contextly.com/2020/11/c…

Favorite Feature #17: Let Readers Follow Topics on Your Site (Channels!)

Contextly Channels let readers sign up to get notified of new posts on topics they care about, without any extra work by writers or editors. Channels let you build and own a new distribution method....

A new report on recommendations on news sites shows what @contextly has saying for years - good related links get readers to read more. niemanlab.org/2018/09/just-b… I would add very simply that these related links do best when right at the end of the post. Death to the author bio!

Yup, we joined the GDPR party and sent out our updated privacy policy to clients. Luckily, we've long treated reader data with respect so not much changed in our policy or practices. contextly.com/privacy

'A watershed moment': Publishers find hope in a more rational post-Facebook media landscape

Facebook playing a shrunken role as the de facto regulator of media will be a good thing in the long run.

It's a good thing the publishing industry didn't have spent the last 5 years chasing short-term FB traffic and instead thought long term by building owned distribution channels, figuring out personalization and focussing on loyal readers rather than drive-by ones xitter.cf/MattGarrahan/status/95…

Really great to see @CraigSilverman expose the hypocrisy of these websites. They are clearly benefiting till they get caught. Nice work. buzzfeed.com/craigsilverman/…

These Publishers Bought Millions Of Website Visits They Later Found Out Were Fraudulent

Fake traffic was sent to pages containing ads for JPMorgan Chase, Visa, Amazon, KFC, and other big brands. "We don’t take this sort of thing lightly,” a JPMorgan spokesperson told BuzzFeed News.

Poynter reports on a Stanford study that net neutrality repeal would hit local publisher's hard, increasing distribution costs. Likely would hurt niche publishers as well. poynter.org/news/report-repe…
Net neutrality helps startups like @contextly, and it's a shame to end it. A piece from me in @wired wired.com/story/expect-fewer… RS

If the FCC Kills Net Neutrality, Expect Fewer Great Startups

Opinion: Ditching the open internet will have a serious, and negative, impact on innovation.

Since everyone is down on media companies these days, let’s run through what’s good news about many of them. 1) Our democracy may have crumbled this year had NYT, WaPo & CNN not existed, incredibly important role of all three as we end 2017.

This isn't real. Machine learning can't do this. But it's trendy so maybe $$$. Also it's a good distraction from media companies' complicity xitter.cf/Brizzyc/status/9265733…

Hmm. News Guard will rate news content so search and social-media platforms can help their users know what to trust. axios.com/scoop-steve-brills…
