@claesdevreese@mastodon.social I hope that if a journalist leaves the Washington Post, they can take their followers and such with them.

@claesdevreese@mastodon.social This approach does so much more for credibility than blue checkmarks ever have, even before you could just buy them. And I think it's something people already implicitly understand, because we know how website domains and email addresses for official stances from an organization are supposed to work.

@claesdevreese@mastodon.social @communicationscholars@a.gup.pe This seems like a great opportunity for all journalists: an instance that enforces journalistic standards that then can create a greater sense of trust among followers.

@claesdevreese@mastodon.social @communicationscholars@a.gup.pe I was counting on this to happen eventually! Best way to have a verified account is to have it on a restricted instance.

@claesdevreese@mastodon.social @communicationscholars@a.gup.pe @jeremybowers@journa.host As a subscriber, I would be thrilled to see this. The recent Editorial Board article about how the bird site could be fixed is not the priority. Setting up WAPOs own instance shows incredible leadership and a level of trust that content is not being censored by that other site.

@claesdevreese@mastodon.social @communicationscholars@a.gup.pe I think this is absolutely great. They get to provide the moderation at the level they want. And they don’t have to worry about some idiot shutting them down. **BUT** I highly recommend that all Washington Post reporters also keep a personal account elsewhere. They can use that to boost everything they post on the official account. But they can also use it for personal posts. And if they lose their job, they still have an account, and the links to everything they wrote. People can decide whether they want to follow just the news, or the whole person. I also hope that the Post uses lists andor hashtags so that it’s easy to follow topics and specific subjects. I think in general lists will be better, because they can control what shows up when you view it. Hashtags will undoubtably get spammed. #mastodon #press

@claesdevreese@mastodon.social @communicationscholars@a.gup.pe it's important indeed. It will help other media and news agencies to do the same. Then Governments and Public Institutions will move here. And then, we're done with Twitter.

@communicationscholars@a.gup.pe @claesdevreese@mastodon.social Perhaps of interest for you (and certainly related): together with other unions, the Danish Union of Journalists is currently looking into creating a #Mastodon instance. In contrast to the WaPo model, as I imagine it, this means journalists will be able to stay on instance even if they get a new job. #dkmedier https://journalisten.dk/ego-og-kulturkrigsprojekt-udelukkelse-af-journalister-faar-mediefolk-op-af-stolene/

@claesdevreese@mastodon.social @communicationscholars@a.gup.pe Good move. This is the way to go. All press should do that. Accounts certified by the use of their domain name.

@claesdevreese@mastodon.social @communicationscholars@a.gup.pe Any business or govt agency that has their own email domain and servers should have their own fediverse instance(s). Would you trust an email from wapoeditor@hotmail.com?

@sl007@digitalcourage.social 2022-12-22 08:50
@claesdevreese@mastodon.social @communicationscholars@a.gup.pe The Fediverse runs on ActivityPub, the world’s leading federated social web standard . My hope is that they will unleash the possibilities of this Open Protocol which can be baked in their pages and extended with all the journalist vocabularies from IPTC to EBU. It has multilanguage properties and we talked about this often in the dev meetings. My hope is that Online Journalism incubates, also software suited for their needs. > https://digitalcourage.social/@sl007/109525604255806335

@claesdevreese@mastodon.social @communicationscholars@a.gup.pe I don’t know if I’m being too naive, but think about that: news sites hosting their own instances, which play the role of the comments section, or something like that? With a little tweaking here and there, along with RSS integration, anyone could see the comments, without the need to register on the instance. That would be necessary only if the person wanted to comment

@claesdevreese@mastodon.social @communicationscholars@a.gup.pe Interesting idea. The institutional support is positive but I’m skeptical about having people belong to a specific organisation’s server. Maybe servers would be better thought of as guilds/societies with members of many different organisations belonging, with the org sponsoring relevant servers to which their members belong?
