Opinion forming elite• One-way, one-to-many• Sole or few sources
dictating schedules and headlines from top-down.
• Very little engagement or feedback encouraged and even these are edited.
Here it is, you decide• Many-to-many• Bloggers, tweeters, FB
posters, podcasters, aggregators, producers, commenters post in near real-time
• Many sources engage in the conversation from grassroots-level.
Mass media >>> Masses of niche media

Challenges• Fear of change• PR personnel not savvy with explosion of new
apps and tools• Command-and-control, top-down culture• Silo thinking in PR/marketing/HR depts • Individualistic nature of CEO, PR director• Harder to attract media to show up at events• Resources squeezed. Management does not
want to spend money on PR efforts• Competition from unlikely competitors
continues to grow
Opportunities• Can connect and engage media in multiple
ways, multiple platforms. One-on-one• Greater participation in the journalism
process by engaging early, seeding stories • You can be your own media, skip the
Press, go direct to your stakeholders• Multimedia-savvy, multi-taskers will
thrive• More accountability and transparency by
building a community of fans and followers• Individuals can self-brand, break out on
their own and create new ventures for the company or themselves.

Can we ignore social media?
38
There will be consequences…
39
1. You won't know what people are saying about you
The conversation is taking place anyway. You can choose to participate or you can ignore it, but people are talking -- even when you're not listening.
40
2. You won't know what's going on
Listening in to conversations on Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere is like having a free focus group going 24/7.
If you listen to your market, you'll be able to anticipate customer needs, make better products, improve services and hear what's wrong with what you are currently delivering.
41
3. No one knows the real you• Someone may already be squatting on your brand and
spewing false corporate messages• If you don't secure your brand accounts on Twitter,
Facebook, no one will know if it's real or fake. Get out there with your own voice and establish a
reputation for authenticity and truth - it's a lot harder for someone else to hijack your brand.
42
4. When you need a voice, you won't have any credibility
• Typically, organizations only think of a blog or a Twitter account, after a crisis hits.
• Whether you're talking online or off, it takes months – even years – to establish trust in a relationship.
• You need to start the conversation in order to start making deposits in the bank of trust. Then when you need it, the credibility will be there.
43
5. You're giving away a competitive advantage
• Whether you are listening or not, chances are your competition is monitoring what your stakeholders are saying about you.
• They may get the feedback you don’t and be able to bring a new product to market faster, and meet the needs of the marketplace better than you can.
