Facebook may add a dedicated news tab later this year
Mark Zuckerberg has revealed he may add a dedicated tab for "high-quality news" to Facebook, perhaps by the end of the year. The section would reportedly be free for users, though Facebook might pay publishers whose work is featured. Zuckerberg mooted the idea in a conversation with Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner, as part of his goal this year to hold discussions about the future of technology in society.
How to get Twitter’s new ‘Lights out’ dark mode on iOS
Twitter introduced a dark theme in its mobile apps in 2016, and for its site the following year. But after a lot of people complained that the social network’s feature is not a true dark mode – as it’s based on a shade of blue instead of black – CEO Jack Dorsey said the company was working on it. It’s finally here on iOS, and it’s called ‘Lights out.’

The research from Buzzoole was conducted tracking the most common ‘transparency hashtags’ across the globe, using a combination of social listening tools and previous research from the first half of 2018. FYI, ‘transparency hashtags’ usually refer to #ad, #sp and #sponsored.
Why Gen Z will change marketing in Ireland
GEN Z – also known as iGen are the newest named generation. Despite their youth (they are currently between three and 23) this generation is the largest ever, making up a staggering 32 per cent of the global population.
With significant buying power and social influence, this generation will certainly be of interest not only to marketers looking to sell products and services, but to organisations looking for the next generation of talent. A percentage of them will have already entered the workforce, though it will be the job of the marketing industry to ensure they are attracting these digitally-native future marketers. Last year, a CIM survey found that four in ten young people aged 17-19 were interested in a career in marketing — a significant opportunity for organisation's recruiting.
