SUMMARY:Rasmus Kleis Nielsen: The power of platforms and how publishers ada
 pt
DESCRIPTION:Today\, more people follow the news via platform companies like
  Facebook and Google than via any news organisation in human history\, and
  smaller platforms like Twitter serve news to more people than all but the
  biggest publishers. Most news content is still produced by professional j
 ournalists. But the way in which we discover it and the distribution of th
 e content is changing rapidly. But who decides what is going to be display
 ed and what not? And who profits from our behaviour? All this goes along w
 ith the increasing use of search engines\, social media\, and the like for
  news.In this lecture\, Rasmus Kleis Nielsen will revisit the history of t
 he first twenty years of relations between platforms and news publishers t
 o identify the underlying dynamics that have shaped the development of our
  digital society\, and will shape it for years to come. He argues that pub
 lishers have – sometimes reluctantly\, but often actively – fueled the
  rise of platform companies by embracing the very real opportunities they 
 provide. This is the case even though they also challenge publishers’ hi
 storically dominant position by competing for attention and advertising an
 d by controlling key parts of the infrastructure of free expression. In th
 e process publishers\, like the rest of us\, become increasingly empowered
  by and dependent upon a small number of centrally placed and powerful pla
 tforms.Rasmus Kleis Nielsen is Director at the Reuters Institute for the S
 tudy of Journalism and Professor of Political Communication at the Univers
 ity of Oxford and Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Press/Po
 litics. Most of his research deals with news media organisations and their
  ongoing transformations\, changing forms of digital media use in politica
 l and news-related contexts\, political communication and campaign practic
 es. He is involved in a wide range of different comparative research proje
 cts around the future of news\, the changing business of journalism and th
 e rise of digital media.
