FIR #206: We’re Both Vaccinated, So Listen Without a Mask
The April installment of The Hobson & Holtz Report includes reports on these stories:
* Reuters’ website goes behind a paywall
* NFTs are still hot as problems (and possible solutions) emerge
* Advertisers like podcasts but want better measurement
* CEOs and brands are pushing COVID-19 vaccinations
* Volkswagen tarnished its already dicey reputation with an ill-conceived April Fool’s prank
* Is Clubhouse cooling off already?
* Dan York reports on Unsplash’s acquisition by Getty Images, Wix’s challenge to WordPress, TikTok, Clubhouse, and Substack facing competition, Google’s revamp of Feedburner, Core Web Vitals’ change to Google search ranking, and Instagram Lite.
Our FIR recording sessions are now being streamed live, because why not? We already stream it in order to capture a backup recording on YouTube; we’ve just been making these restricted streams. We have decided to make them public so you can watch and comment. Our next recording is Saturday, April 17 at noon ET. You’ll see our pre-recording conversation as well as seeing how the sausage gets made. Watch live here.
(You can watch the video of the making of this episode, though it’s clearly too late to share comments we can read right into the show.)
We are hosting an FIR Communicators Zoom Chat each Thursday during the stay-at-home period at 1 p.m. ET. For credentials needed to participate, contact Shel or Neville directly or request the credentials in our Facebook group or send an email to [email protected]. Spread the word to your communications community.
Special thanks to Jay Moonah for the opening and closing music.
You can find the stories from which Shel’s FIR content is selected at Shel’s Link Blog. Neville’s link blog, Outbox, is available, as well.
