Kami Huyse, Marshall Kirkpatrick, and Laura Pevehouse join host Shel Holtz to talk about these topics:

  • An update on the latest news about fake news, including the steps Facebook is taking to call it out, Germany’s new law that could cost Facebook 500,000 euros for each fake news item it publishes, how big brands are inadvertently funding fake news, how fake news is inspiring people to turn their attention back to mainstream media, and why owned media (especially corporate blogs) are more important than ever
  • A new app that lets employees engage anonymously with other workers in their company led 200-plus Amazon employees to critique their employer’s handling of a colleague’s attempted suicide
  • A look at how blockchain could play a part in marketing and advertising
  • A streaming video update, including Facebook’s introduction of live-streamed 360-degree videos, Instagram’s rollout of Instagram Live, Twitter’s introduction of live-streaming from directly within the twitter app, Twitch’s introduction of live streaming, and the first-ever live-streamed surgery using Snapchat’s Spectacles
  • Facbook’s disclosure of measurement errors (and what it means for communicators)
  • Whether Mixed, Augmented or Virtual reality headsets will ever become a common consumer appliance (and if not, what will?)
  • What to expect from influencer marketing in 2017
  • Dan York reports on Evernote’s kerfuffle with its revised privacy policy and adds his $.02 on streaming video
