Our latest guest post by Media Cymru fellow Shirish Kulkarni explores the cultural changes needed in journalism, and how we can give audiences more value by finding ways to tell different stories, in different ways
@BBC_News_Labs One problem everybody is certainly struggling with is how to deal with the flood of information.
I think the big social media sites play a detrimental role in news writing & dissemination, because they force you to post frequently and with attention-grabbing headlines (preferably ones that make people angry) in order to feed "the algorithm".
I think Mastodon and the Fediverse can be a chance for change here too, because you can post as seldomly as you like and still be seen.
I know I'm late to the party, they always did say I was a late bloomer and all, but Good Omens is really really good. I always did like Neil Gaiman's writing but it's another thing to binge watch season 1 of #GoodOmens. I mean the binge part was easy as I could not stop and now, here, after the finale I really have to see how a season 2 can be a thing right?
Mainly tip on the hat good sir, fantastic story. @neilhimself 👏👏🎩
(I know now I'm the one putting #hashtags in line, I'm a monster)
@neilhimself@s1m0n4@JustBrogrammer Hey Neil, any thoughts about Amazon Prime Video doing a bait-and-switch, by announcing that even customers that have already paid annually for their service will find what they watch - such as Good Omens and Good Omens 2 - interspersed with ads?!
Did Amazon give you a heads up on their plans to insert advertising in the middle of your stories as soon as early next year?!
#AllStarTrek I love me some #StarTrek but for Pity's sake, #Worf and #Dax are of two separate species from completely different biospheres. How the heck are they supposed to successfully mate? It's ridiculous!
What a stunning 12th century definition of the work of lexicographers by Marie de France! Her passage beautifully captures how earlier scholars often wrote in metaphorical or obscure language, requiring future readers to decipher and interpret the meaning. But Marie is also remarkably prescient in recognizing this interpretive process as the essence of creating a gloss (or dictionary) elucidating the symbolic "letter" of a text by bridging context and definitions.
For all the dictionary-makers – and their forever unfinished yet deeply meaningful job: Happy Dictionary Day!

Attention bookworms: What are people using to get information about good new books that are out there? I'm a huge fan of science fiction, for example, and I know there's got to be tons of good books I haven't read simply because I've never heard of them. Sometimes I'll go window shopping, basically searching Bookshare and Kindle for certain words, just to see what comes up, and doing that I do stumble across some books, but I know there's a ton I'm missing because I don't even know it exists. Boosts appreciated.
