Time to speak about #MobileRevolution @pedrodoria, director O Globo talking about digital devices, #appis #Ipad #platforms #ISOJ

In Brazil people start reading on iPad at 7pm #isoj Interesting

O Globo, one of Brazil’s largest news organizations, sees iPad usage rise in the evening. #isoj12

Before PM iPad edition, readers spent 26m on their app. Now 1hr 17m. 3 times more downloads and it’s a paid subscription. #isoj12 #isoj

Building a great tablet app and getting people to pay for it is a better idea than a paywall, in my opinion. It has to be great. #isoj12

Massive rise of 5 democracies to 35 between 1991 & 2006 in South. Still a lot of catching up to do bc countries so different. #ISOJ12

Dugmore: The # of democracies in Africa rose drastically from 1991 to 2006, thought it correlated with internet age. We were wrong. #ISOJ12

Eras of mobile in Africa: Mobile 1 starting ’94: small screens, slow speeds, sky-high subscriptions. #isoj12

1 out of 100 phones in Africa are Apple phones. 3 mins of cell costs same as 1L of cooking oil. Feed fam or talk on phone? #Dugmore #ISOJ12

Social media landscape is where all the major innovations are happening in journalism in Africa. #isoj12

Social media, Wikipedia are a growing source of information in Africa. 76 percent are using social to get international news. #isoj12

YouTube is playing a big role in Africa now. Age of visuality coming to Africa. #isoj12

Next up: Blake Eskin, former web editor, New Yorker magazine. Was 1st web editor ever there in 2006. #ISOJ12

New Yorker founded in 1925 by Harold Ross, web founded 1989. “They are very different.” #isoj12

Blake Eskin compares N. Yorker to web. Yorker is authoritative, web is democratic. NYer about quality-web about quantity. #ISOJ12

Eskin: @NewYorker is not only a news magazine it is also an experience #ISOJ12

Interesting stuff from Blake Eskin, former @NewYorker web editor. 1 in 6 readers is on mobile. More: nie.mn/I7A4um #isoj12

#louisgump: China and India are the 2 largest markets in mobile #isoj12

.@louisgump: harmonize experiences across platforms #isoj12

@louisgump we are still trying to cram what we do on the web into the experience of mobile. Bad idea. #isoj12

#isoj12 @louisgump “Tech people need to be at the table not just implementing!” SO TRUE!

Using mobile devices in the field is important, CNN VP for mobile says. In other news, the sky is blue. #isoj12

I love getting international views on online journalism. Very fascinating, it’s so easy to get wrapped up in just the US. #ISOJ12

JV Rufino of Inquirer Group–“print is the rudder of the media ship in the Phillipines despite being primarily a TV market. #ISOJ12

Old print model in Philippines is still chugging along, digital revenues only a single digit percentage, “not there yet.” #isoj12

JV Ruffino of Inquirer.net (Philippines) “Zinnio is super popular in the Phillipines b/c you can get all the US magazines” #isoj12

Only Kindle edition in the Philippines – Inquirer Mobile – says JV Rufino #isoj12

Willam Hurley, Creative Moon Studios, is a bit eccentric in his presentation #isoj12

.@whurley’s take on monetization: Users will pay to not see ads. Users find value in the choice they get. #isoj12

.@whurley – News apps are “horrible for the most part.” We’re just shoveling info into an app, not rethinking how people use them. #isoj12

.@whurley challenges us to do journ different but he says we won’t because we have a herding mentality. | I love risk. I’ll try. #ISOJ12
