Community Updates
The Gather Slack is the thriving hub of our community, where we brainstorm together, ask for and offer advice, and connect with each other. Sign up as a Gather member to join Slack.
- Common story metrics: One Gatherer asks, “Does anyone have a list of common story metrics (ie: visitors, time spent, social referrals…) and what actions you can take to influence each metric that they’d be willing to share?” Post your insights here.
- Flipboard mysteries: Do you get good traffic from Flipboard … and have no idea why that happens or how to replicate those results? Or, on the flipside (hah!), do you have answers to these questions? Join the conversation.
- Alt text: What are good ways to improve the accessibility of your social content? Check out Regina Mack’s Tweet thread on alt text.
- Growing lists: What are some small experiments worth trying to grow newsletter lists? One Gatherer is part of Poynter’s Table Stakes program and is collecting ideas.
Hot Read: "The Knight Foundation’s ties to far-right extremists undermine journalism's future" by Simon Galperin for The Objective. (This is the Gather community's most-shared story on Twitter this week. Look for other 'hot reads' in Friday's Nuzzel newsletter and in the #reads channel on the Gather Slack.)
