Heads up: we'll be posting a few final pieces about the lab's work over the next few weeks. First, an observation by @huirastic of @maassmetrics, our analytics partner, on what it was like to work on metrics for experimentation medium.com/the-guardian-m…
We held a day of discussion about mobile innovation last Monday. To make the discussion available to a wider audience, we've posted notes, transcripts and slides from the event. medium.com/the-guardian-m… #gmilday
We're grateful to @NiemanLab for this piece on our wrap-up event, which covered the results of our work over the past few years. We'll be publishing transcripts and slides soon!

Probably one of the more important "chats" anyone interested in the future of journalism could participate in (and possibly, productively challenge) this morning (/for weeks, months, years, until it's better). Hosted by @amywebb 👇🏾
1 - Journalists, foundations that fund journalism, publishers, city officials, venture capitalists/ hedgies who've bought news orgs, and people who care about democracy, we need to have a chat this morning. Like, right now.
We are holding an event on March 26 in NYC to discuss spurring the next wave of mobile news innovation, along with insights from our two years working in that space. Interested in attending? Send us a DM. Space is limited.
A podcast about a podcast: the lab's @_alastair and @sashak talked with @journalismcouk about how we considered technology, UX, and editing audio and visuals together as we created our new audio player and launched the Strange Bird podcast journalism.co.uk/podcast/the-gu…
Delighted that the @GdnMobileLab's "Smarticles" experiment was featured alongside NBC's Stay Tuned in @jamestyner_'s @MediaShiftOrg piece about examples of how news orgs are "getting the best ad fullest information to end users in the best format."
It’s harder and harder to trust the news, says @jamestyner_. He found two examples of news products that are a step in the right direction. @GdnMobileLab @GadiNBC @WatchSavannah mediashift.org/2018/02/trust-… @pewresearch @AmPress @jasonalcorn @USCAnnenberg
When readers revisit the page, they see only the latest updates, with occasional earlier ones that offer context. Android users can sign up to get alerted when there are major updates. More on the format in this overview by @mazsidahmed medium.com/the-guardian-m…
