## More detail on the pandemic news avoiders

These people are a market - they're looking for distraction, hope and things they're passionate about. What's your strategy for reaching them?

## Correction spreading

This is a fascinating experiment in helping corrections spread as far as the orginal error:

## Agile Instagram

A really good example of using agile experimentation to grow your social media presence. 

[‘Keep an open mind and take some risks’: How National Geographic is adapting its Instagram feed - Digiday“Things that are viral are often things that have a certain ingenuity and have not been done before,” said Josh Raab, National Geographic’s director of Instagram.![](https://digiday.com/wp-content/themes/digiday/static/images/favicons/favicon-196x196.png)DigidayKayleigh Barber![](https://digiday.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Screen-Shot-2020-05-29-at-12.39.46-PM.png)](https://digiday.com/media/keep-an-open-mind-and-take-some-risks-how-the-national-geographic-is-adapting-its-instagram-feed/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)

## A couple of newsletters about to launch

Nick Petrie, of *The Times*, and for readers with loooong memories, *Wannabe Hacks*, is launching a new newsletter about newroom evolution, and the new roles that emerge. 

Worth a subscribe:

Meanwhile, Matt Navarra is launching a newsletter compiling the latest news about the social media platforms. Likely to go paid fairly quickly, but worth a look if regular updates on the technical and feature aspects of the platforms matter to you and your work:
