Facebook quer agrupar conteúdo de jornais dentro de sua plataforma

     
O Facebook tem conversado discretamente com alguns veículos de comunicação para hospedar o conteúdo deles diretamente dentro de sua plataforma, em vez de fazer os usuários clicarem num link para um site externo.

facebook-logoFacebook diz que quer melhorar experiência do usuário (Imagem: Reprodução)A rede social já tornou público seu interesse em deixar a experiência de consumo de conteúdo online mais espontânea e natural. Para fazer uma proposta mais atrativa aos editores dos veículos, o Facebook está elaborando maneiras para compartilhar lucros com anúncios atrelados às notícias dos parceiros. A informação é do New York Times.

Atualmente, os posts com notícias são direcionados ao site do veículo de comunicação, abrindo outra página ou guia do navegador, o que leva quase oito segundos. Para a rede social, isso é muito tempo, especialmente em dispositivos móveis. O Facebook pretende começar a testar o novo formato nos próximos meses. Os parceiros iniciais são, além do próprio New York Times, BuzzFeed e National Geographic, enquanto outros podem aderir ao modelo se as negociações avançarem.

A iniciativa está sendo rejeitada por alguns jornais. Quando um usuário clica em um artigo, diversas informações valiosas sobre quem ele é e com que frequência visita aquele site são coletadas. Esses dados passaram a valer muito para o Facebook, que usa o conhecimento para rastrear o público mais efetivo para determinados tipos de publicidade. Em resumo, o acordo pode assustar os veículos, que querem controlar sua própria marca, audiência e anúncios.

Newspapers, both print and digital, offer key benefits to advertisers that are not delivered by other media options. They are powerful and present advertisers with the opportunity to deliver messages in a trusted, engaging environment.
Readers trust the ads: Nielsen finds that advertisements in newspapers continue to be among the most trusted forms of advertising. Newspapers provide an environment that offers clout. Both in print and digitally, newspapers are taken seriously – and so are the ads.

Readers want the ads: Consumers were asked their reasons for reading their local newspapers. The top three answers: local news, local events, and the ads (from Totum Research on behalf of Newspapers Canada, October 2013).
Newspapers are one of the few places where readers want and expect advertisements. They are part of the content. In many media, consumers go out of their way to avoid/skip ads because they don’t want them.

Influencers read newspapers: Research finds newspapers are read by influencers, a key group for advertisers as they hold sway with family, friends, and peers. From Admap’s “How Influencers Work”
“Influencers are information hounds. … These people are more heavily represented in the audiences for print media (newspapers) and online publishers (newspaper Web sites), more so than in the audiences of Facebook and Twitter. … Target influencers through the media they use.”

Both the media and ads are engaging: Consumers were surveyed on 11 metrics for media engagement (i.e. how captivating the content and ads are). All 11 scores were added together except “it contains annoying ads,” which was subtracted (because it was a negative attribute). In some cases, this created a negative score.

On media engagement, print newspapers scored highest! Newspaper Web sites came in 34% higher than average – scoring higher than radio, magazine, Internet, and billboards.

Four metrics for advertising engagement included noticing the ads, getting useful information, annoying, and being influenced to purchase. Print newspaper ads scored almost five times higher than average! Newspaper Web site ads ranked second (39% higher than average).

Ads across devises build on one another: Research finds newspaper readers across devices are more aware of the ads and have better brand recall. Multiple interactions with an ad across platforms makes ad effectiveness grow.

Environmentally friendly: Newspapers are green. Print newspapers biodegrade in six weeks versus styrofoam cups (5,000 years) versus glass bottles (one million years), according to 2015 information from the National Parks Service. More than 80% of newsprint is recycled and the forest industry plants more trees than it takes, according to 2015 information from the Forest Industry Association and Newspaper Canada
