Engaged reading digest: Outrage, redesigns, laptops and RSS
Apple redesigns its MacBook Pros, The Atlantic just redesigns, we study social media outrage, and celebrate RSS
Busy, busy day lecturing, but here's a few interesting things that I found the time to read:
The Psychology of Social Media outrage
This is essential reading for anyone working online.

The Atlantic gets a haircut
I kinda love The Atlantic. I wish something like it existed in the UK, but it doesn't, so I have to make do. It just redesigned, and, well, wow:

There's a lovely video on the redesign:
I love the implied idea that any redesign of a magazine brand now has to consider its cross-media nature.
Wikipedia: Still a boys' club
This is a community management problem, pure and simple. And I see no evidence that the Wikimedia Foundation are willing to do what it takes.

RSS is not dead
It's 2019, and one of the Interhacktive students I teach on the MA in Interactive Journalism at City, University of London, wrote about RSS Feeds. Voluntarily.
I'm so proud.

Apple finally fixes its laptops (at the top end)
After a pretty disastrous three years for Apple's laptop line, they finally seem to have got it right. Once this hits the 13" models, my 2013 MacBook Pro might finally be replaced.
