NB: Updated, 20th August 2018. I’ll keep adding to this list, if/when other good sources emerge.

As part of my Social Media for Journalists class in London this summer, students are required to come to the first meeting of the week with two stories charting recent developments in the social field.

This could be:

• New products (e.g. the launch of IGTV )
• Organization Analysis (e.g. How Vogue diversified away from Facebook by Max Willens in Digiday)
• User data/insights (e.g. this piece in recode on the growth of Instagram and Snapchat)
• New research (Misinformation and biases infect social media, both intentionally and accidentally by Giovanni Luca Ciampaglia, Indiana University and Filippo Menczer, Indiana University

They then share one of these stories / developments with the class in a rapid roundtable.

The aim of this exercise is to help students:

1. Develop a habit of reading industry news sources.
