Media has changed - 2006

“To find something comparable, you have to go back 500 years

shifting power away from the editors, the publishers, the

establishment, the media elite. Now it’s the people who are

taking control” Rupert Murdoch, Wired July 2006.

Permission to Engage

We monitor social media because it provides unsolicited and unbiased consumer opinions about

our products and brands in real time. If a brand, messaging or product problem is identified by

bloggers, we can fix the problem quickly before it gets too widespread. Also, positive comments

help us understand early on if something is working particularly well.” Christin Stasiw Lazarchuk, Director, Global Market Research, Ford Motor Company.
