☆ TikTok introduces new paywalled 20-minute video feature
  + stars: | 2023-03-07 | by ( Ashley Capoot | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
The New Economy Forum is being organized by Bloomberg Media Group, a division of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News. The new feature, called Series, will allow select creators to share longer videos that will be available for purchase behind a paywall. Users have previously only been able to share 15-second, 1-minute, 3-minute or 10-minute videos on TikTok. The new feature will further heat up the competition with platforms like YouTube — which is known for its long-form videos. In August 2021, YouTube introduced YouTube Shorts as a direct alternative to TikTok.
☆ Senators pressure CFIUS to wrap up TikTok probe with strict restrictions, potentially even separating it from its Chinese parent company
  + stars: | 2023-02-16 | by ( Lauren Feiner | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
The New Economy Forum is being organized by Bloomberg Media Group, a division of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News. The company has said U.S. user data is not stored in China and that it continually tests its security measures. That kind of access would be particularly worrying since China's national security laws allow it to compel companies based there to hand over internal information if the government believes there is a national security issue at play. The group is empowered to investigate foreign investments and transactions with potential national security risks. "CFIUS is committed to taking all necessary actions within its authority to safeguard U.S. national security," a Treasury spokesperson said in a statement.
☆ Bloomberg Looks to Make More Documentaries, Talk Shows

The company on Wednesday is expected to rename its “Quicktake” streaming channel “Bloomberg Originals” to better reflect the longer-form nature of its offerings. Coming shows include “The Future with Hannah Fry,” which will explore the impact of science and technology, and “Next in Sports,” hosted by Bloomberg journalists.

Photographer: Bryan van der Beek/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesTikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew will testify before a House panel on March 23 about the app's security and privacy practices and its ties to China through parent company ByteDance. TikTok has been engaging with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., which can determine if certain risk mitigation measures are adequate to dampen national security concerns. Still, those negotiations have reportedly been delayed at least as of last month, as officials continue to worry about the implications of the app's ownership by Chinese parent company ByteDance. Fears over TikTok's national security and privacy implications for consumers have spanned both sides of Congress, and stretched across the Trump administration into the Biden administration.
☆ Michael Bloomberg reportedly wants to buy either Rupert Murdoch's WSJ or Jeff Bezos' Washington Post
  + stars: | 2022-12-23 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min

Axios reported on Friday that Bloomberg, who owns the Bloomberg media outlet, wants to buy one of his fellow billionaires' media companies. He reportedly sees a Dow Jones purchase as the stronger option. Dow Jones, which is owned by Murdoch's News Corp, is the parent company of such publications as the Journal, Barron's, and MarketWatch.
☆ Semafor debuts in a tough media environment, with an aim toward decluttering the news
  + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( Alex Sherman | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Semafor has been preparing for its launch since January, when former New York Times media columnist Ben Smith and former Bloomberg Media Chief Executive Officer Justin Smith quit their jobs to start the venture. The Smiths will take lessons learned from more than 20 years in digital media to steer Semafor into what they hope will be a global, profitable business. Still, advertising-supported digital media is a sector known for recession droughts and low growth — with plenty of cautionary tales. Semafor will immediately stand out from legacy news publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Steet Journal or CNN.com through its unique article structure. To solve for information overload, a key flaw in the current media ecosystem, according to Justin Smith, outside media analysis will be truncated and found in the Notable section.
☆ Semafor news platform launches
  + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( Helen Coster | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
That structure is designed to address issues such as a trust deficit between the public and the press, and some readers' inability to distinguish between facts and analysis, said Semafor Executive Editor Gina Chua in an interview Monday. That funding will take Semafor to the end of 2023 and into 2024, according to chief executive officer Justin Smith. At launch, Semafor said that 75% of its revenue will come from advertising and 25% from event sponsorships. Some news organizations such as Axios have had success luring readers with shorter, unconventional formats.

☆ The hotly anticipated media startup Semafor has launched, creating the 'Semaform' article structure to separate news from opinion
  + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( Steven Perlberg | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The company has created "Semaform," a way to separate news and opinion in articles. Semafor, the hotly anticipated media startup that grabbed industry attention before it even launched, is finally here. Led by former Bloomberg Media CEO Justin Smith and former New York Times media columnist and BuzzFeed News editor-in-chief Ben Smith, the outlet began publishing Tuesday morning with the lofty ambition of "solving certain significant news consumer frustrations," Justin Smith told Insider. "We have a long runway through 2023 and moving into 2024 on a revenue front and a cost front," Justin Smith said. Overall, the target readership is "very much the news omnivore" and people who are "opinion leaders" in business, finance, and tech, Justin Smith said.
