There was a time when social media meant the gossip around the water cooler. Those days are gone. Increasingly the public is demanding to participate in the ebb and flow of news. Why? Because for the first time in history, they can. The social web has made the tools available to the masses. From Twitter to YouTube, Facebook to flickr, the crowd is participating in the generation and spread of news. How does a busy News Director incorporate all this into their workflow? Or should they? When is it best to stay away, if ever? What emerging "best practices" can we adopt? Are you ready for reform?
Book this free webinar now in your outlook calendar for Wednesday, October 7 at noon ET (9 PT/10 MT). Media and web publishing veteran Doug Lacombe (www.DougLacombe.com), President of communications agency communicatto, will take RTNDA Canada members through the good, the bad and the ugly of journalism on Twitter. Take part in a lively, informative, and interactive one hour session, delivered straight to your desktop. No special equipment is needed to participate other than your RTNDA membership, Internet access, and a plain old telephone.
This is the first in a series sessions on social media and electronic news. The next webinar, scheduled for March 2010, will tackle YouTube, Facebook, and any other social media topics you tell us you need to know about. Both sessions lead up to a practical, hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves session at the national conference June 2010 in Edmonton.
