May 26, 2015: 3 to read: A trio of stories, videos, and data viz compiled once a week for Future of News members
By Matt Carroll <@MattatMIT>
- Mark Thompson of the NYT talks about why the venerable news org is joining hands with Facebook in the ‘Instant Article’ campaign.
- Snapchat grows up: It plans to hire journalists for the presidential race. Is that a sign the millennial gen is growing up, or what?
- OK, this one made me laugh: Who wins in a story-writing contest between a machine and reporter? No great surprise about who’s faster, but which story was better? You be the judge (My own judgment: no contest.)
