Future of news media, with Reuters Institute’s Nic Newman
University of Oxford’s Reuters Institute recently launched their annual Digital News Report, which delves into the changes in news consumption across 46 markets. It’s a comprehensive report that covers everything from news consumption habits to trust in news, participation in news, household budgets for news, news avoidance, effects of social media platforms on news consumption and many more.
Meet illustrator Celine Ka Wing Lau
Hi Celine, can you tell us about your story and your background? I’m an illustrator from Hong Kong, now based in London. I studied BA (Hons) Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts. I love illustrating bold and colourful images with a bit of a dry sense of humour. I have been working with clients such Scouts UK, Hire a Helper, PaperBoy, Anorak Magazine and I am represented by antonia & louise. How has Hong Kong influenced your art? And how has London?
The power of fandoms
Recessions, wars, banking crises, climate change, political unrest, strikes… Just one day’s worth of headlines can make us feel like the only thing left to be thrown at us is armageddon itself. It’s no wonder that the Smithsonian discovered that we’re living in ‘historically unhappy times‘, because sometimes it’s hard to find the ‘feel good’. Belonging is a fundamental human need that, when truly fulfilled, creates a powerful emotional connection — it makes us feel good.
The age of wisdom
Oscar Wilde said that with age comes wisdom, according to the internet. Unfortunately I can’t find a source so this may be a ‘fauxtation’, that class of apocryphal aphorism that litters the web, often in meme form, attributed to an appropriate luminary.
Connection is the new currency in the collaborative era of business
‘Community’ is this year’s biggest brand trend… And it’s no surprise when you consider that a huge four out of five consumers believe society is more divided today than ever before. Naturally, people want to connect. 91% of consumers believe that social can connect people, and 78% want brands to use social to bring them together. In other words, connection is very much the new currency, and it reflects a broader shift happening across the board (room).
The yin and the yang
I remember the advent of the internet… I was at university and a couple of science student friends told m about this thing that was mainly used for sending messages to each other. It sounded pointless to me because I saw those two guys pretty much every day, but they were excited and intelligent, so I gave it a go.
Why brands can’t disregard the rise of micro-communities
Countless lockdowns — coupled with the rise of hybrid working — meant people started spending more and more time at home. Minds started to wander. Like the lockdown phenomenon, Marie Kondo, we were forced to hold a mirror up to our lives and reassess what brought us joy. This clearer understanding caused a significant shift — namely, a drastic change in the way we interact online. People became invested in connecting with like-minded individuals over niche interests.
