Yay! My book has been translated from German to English. I kicked 12 maps about Germany out and replaced them with international ones. Mad Maps wasn't an English enough title so the English version is called Random Maps. Pre-orders available now: amzn.to/3oYHqvv

Also, dear news organisations, please always add a little map to show the audience where a story takes place. A huge share of your readers will have no idea where Bolivia, Kandahar, or Lismore are. #data #socialmedia #journalism #demographics 3/3

The whole idea that the use of images drives more traffic to your content is true but only if the images are meaningful and add to the narrative. Stock images are empty calories. 2/3

I ran a training session for

@TheNewDailyAu

on data and social media usage in journalism. All Australian news organisations are terrible on Twitter. We discussed the weaknesses of automated tweets (like a Sydney map promoting a Melbourne story). 1/3

Is it a stretch to classify this as a #badgeographyjoke? I’m not aware of the relevant Roman Empire hashtags…

Very addictive working out the modern locations of local-ish Roman places on this map.
