Facebook's plan to block the sharing of news on Australian user accounts, rather than pay royalties, puts the firm broadly in step with Google on the matter and pushes the prospect of an agreement with the government further out of reach. "Assuming this draft code becomes law, we will reluctantly stop allowing publishers and people in Australia from sharing local and international news on Facebook and Instagram," Facebook Australia Managing Director Will Easton said in a blog post, referring to two Facebook-owned platforms. "This is not our first choice - it is our last. It is the only way to protect against an outcome that defies logic and will hurt, not help, the long-term vibrancy of Australia's news and media sector". https://lnkd.in/guR5vn6 If this were to happen, the country will become the first to make the social media behemoth and Google pay for news sourced from local providers under a royalty-style system. #gamechanger Thoughts anyone?

Good writing skills in business have always been important, but in today’s age of technology, they are even more so. Being able to accurately and succinctly convey what you are trying to say is an invaluable skill, especially when your audience is busy and has limited time. Careless mistakes can give the impression that you don’t care enough to double check your writing—possibly even leading clients to wonder what else you have been cavalier with. Technology has made everyone a writer, and writing is a very visible skill that should represent your professional goals. But the most obvious reason that good business writing is important is that it will give your company credibility. With impending deadlines and spellcheck, it is easy to get careless and make mistakes, but in order to establish credibility and trustworthiness, each piece of writing must be well-written. Mark Twain once said, “To get the right word in the right place is a rare .” Good writing is difficult but realisable, and ultimately, it comes down to whether your writing conveys what your brand represents, and how you want your customers to see you. .
