I see a lot of new faces these days. Hi!

Allow me to briefly introduce myself: I research the forces that shape digital #journalism (tech/biz/data/etc). I have a book on #podcasting coming out. On this platform, I am mainly professional, but I might sometimes post about running or pop culture.

Mike is one of the good guys - and this post shows why.

Mike Ananny @mikeananny.bsky.social · 1d

Dunno if it's helpful to anyone, but I offer this in the spirit of academics not talking enough about rejection & students sometimes not getting mentoring on the point.

A student (primary author) & I just had a paper rejected from a journal, & I wrote this reply to them sharing the news with me.

Abbreviated text of screenshot of email:

"When I get a decision like this---I've had plenty of rejections, btw, it's a common experience!---I like to:

give myself a few days to just sit with the answer;
go to the reviewer comments with fresh eyes and hopefully a constructive attitude;
read the reviewer comments and classify them into 3 types of feedback: big / structural things that might necessitate fundamentally re-thinking the paper; mezzo-level things that could be addressed within the scope / frame of the project; minutiae that are easy to do (e.g., points about language / grammar / adding citations)
for each of those, I think about:
what do I agree with and think was a reasonable reading of the paper;
what do I think is not reasonable / doesn't require further consideration / is something that the reviewers didn't get / is something that was particular to that journal;
what do I *want* to work on / make the paper into / where am I willing to invest energy
finally, with this distance and structured thinking, I think about other venues for the piece (where to submit it to next) and what kind of changes (if any!) are required before submitting to a different venue. While it's usually good to make some changes based on reviewers' feedback (they're smart people who gave this consideration and the comments are largely thoughtful), it could be that a different venue would be a better fit and not require (or even want) the changes suggested by reviewers for the journal that rejected the piece.

I'm happy to talk about this in our next scheduled meeting / before then / any time.

And just to reiterate: I truly hope that you don't take this news too hard. It's a very common part of this whole academia business, it's ideally how work gets better and makes stronger contributions, and it's zero reflection on your standing or future as a scholar.

All best,
-- M."

My local library has an entire section where it promotes banned books (e.g., The Satanic Verses, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the Harry Potter series, and Gender Queer).

It's part of a week-long campaign for freedom of speech. But I hope they keep it up permanently.

Read a book. Join the resistance.

The kids are alright.

(Et forbehold, dog: Min levede erfaring er, at det at købe bøger desværre ikke er det samme som at få dem læst...)

[DK] Bonnier News køber majoriteten i Zetland. Her er min hurtige analyse. #medienyt

Aske Kammer @askekammer.dk · 8d

Min lynanalyse: Det er grundlæggende godt. Bonnier køber ejerandele, som ejes af andre typer investorer, så det publicistiske fundament bliver stærkere. Udfordring for Zetland er at holde fast i pioner-ånden og vedblive at være sig selv og innovative i en potientielt mere korporate sammenhæng.

Aske Kammer @askekammer.dk · 8d

Zetlands formater har jo været kendt i mange år, så det har Bonnier bare kunnet kopiere (/lade sig inspirere af), hvis det var ønsket. Jeg tror nærmere, det er det innovative mindset i kombination med publicismen, som de køber sig ind i, og som de håber på udbredelse af.

Det tog tre dage og fem gennemskrivninger at skrive vreden ud af denne tekst.

Da det gik op for mig, at "på det seneste har det været svært at aflevere sin kærlighed, og så ender det hurtigt i en lille sorg, der forvrider sig til vrede", var der noget der gav slip.

[DK] God tråd om hybrid krigsførelse.

Yevgeniy Golovchenko @golovchenko.bsky.social · 12d

1/ Droner er ikke kernen i hybridkrig. Det er som regel vores informationsrum, psykologiske reaktioner og politiske håndtering. Jo mere vi går i panik over en hændelse, og jo vildere overskrifterne bliver, desto mere attraktivt er det at rette angreb mod netop Danmark.

[DK] Apropos droner, så vil jeg anbefale alle at læse Kim Stanley Robinsons "Fremtidsministeriet". Jeg synes egentlig ikke, at det er en forfærdeligt god bog - men den har nogle vældigt tankevækkende kapitler om bl.a. droner og luftfart.

Det er jeg ked af at læse, Ernst. Gode tanker og kondolencer herfra. Pas godt på dig selv og på pigerne. Og giv det den tid, det tager.
