This is an excellent piece by Morten Ro on audience engagement and listening by news organizations at The Fix Media. Journalism is a service for the public. The only tool to serve the public is "audience listening which should drive editorial decisions making audience members feel heard." That is very well put! https://lnkd.in/dJ-TU27Y

As an independent news publisher, I'm thrilled to announce that we will begin publishing content from Tysonomo.com on NewsBreak! This partnership marks our first association with another organization, and I'm excited about the potential to grow our brand and keep hyperlocal news and information free for the public. Why NewsBreak? Here are a few reasons: Accuracy: They prioritize credible information and prohibit rumors or unverified content. Transparency: Integrity and transparency are key to building trust with the community. Accountability: Everyone is accountable for the information they publish. Fairness: They highlight diverse voices and ensure all sides of a story are presented. Safety: A safe space for respectful discourse, free from hate speech or harassment. NewsBreak, launched in the U.S. in 2015 as a subsidiary of Yidian, a Chinese news aggregation app, is owned by Particle Media, Inc. Both companies were founded by CEO Jeff Zheng, and they share a U.S. patent for an "Interest Engine" algorithm, which recommends news content based on a user's interests and location. This innovative approach will help us reach and engage a wider audience. These principles align perfectly with our mission at Tysonomo Multimedia News Agency. I look forward to establishing an active and engaging audience on this innovative platform.
