29 years ago today, Britain woke to the news that Diana, Princess of Wales, had died in Paris. She was 36. Her death would trigger an extraordinary week of public mourning and one of the biggest news stories of the decade. This is the night Princess Diana died. youtu.be/6lPULnUb5pA?...

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has lost his titles, royal role and Royal Lodge. But reports suggest he could still receive one final royal privilege: a funeral at St George’s Chapel, burial at Frogmore and Royal Navy pallbearers. And taxpayers could help foot the bill. youtu.be/9M3qfdfZ32E?...

It was reported a few weeks ago that Prince William was considering turning Buckingham Palace into a hotel. And that got me thinking: what if we played around with AI to visualise what “Hotel Buckingham Palace” might actually look like? So, that’s exactly what I did. youtu.be/-BpgDvUMGLc?...

I'm sat in Budapest Airport catching up with the news re: course closures at Nottingham Trent. #Journalism education has always been guilty of living in a gilded cage in some way, shape or form. It seems my motion to the @nujofficial.bsky.social DM was more timely than I originally anticipated, NGL.
Whereas in the UK, student TV stations have to bid for pennies because they're competing for funding across a wide range of student activities.

Some idle thoughts on reddit about the idea of the "Bass Diffusion Curve" and how it can relate to #journalism, innovation and imitation. www.reddit.com/r/The201Jour...

Ask YouTube and Gemini Omni were announced at Google I/O last week and I can see problems for video #journalism and how publishers engage with the platform. I went one step further and tested that impact using a 13min BBC News video package. My latest on the 201: www.linkedin.com/newsletters/...

Could #Palestine marches actually be banned? After the Golders Green stabbings and ahead of rival demonstrations planned in #London on May 16, that question is now being asked much more seriously. The legal reality is more complicated than most online arguments make out.
Some thoughts from day one of DMWF, the Digital Marketing World Forum. Admittedly, the event is for PR professionals and marketers, but the overlap with digital #journalism was what interested me... and there were some interesting takeaways. www.linkedin.com/pulse/have-y...
Last night’s protest in Epsom was a reminder that it does not take much for social media to cultivate anger, sustain it, and turn it into something far more divisive. Once that takes hold, it becomes very easy to exploit. The chaos that followed did the rest. youtu.be/I15C1asRU7E

I’ve taken the deeply regrettable step of becoming the kind of person who sees a train platform and thinks: yes, this can teach us something about digital #journalism. So I wrote it up for The 201 like the #LinkedIn thought leader I was clearly born to be. www.linkedin.com/newsletters/...
