Electronic communication is any communication done electronically. All social media are part of electronic communication, but not all
electronic communication is social media.

Social media are electronic media that transform passive audiences into active participants in the communication process
by allowing them to share content, revise content, respond to content, or contribute new content.

Social media is not a fad.
It’s a fundamental shift in the way all of us communicate.
![Page 16: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The old communication model was a monologue.
“We talk. You listen.”
![Page 17: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

The average person is exposed to an average of 3,000 advertising messages a day.
But consumers aren’t listening anymore. Interruptive marketing has seen its day.
![Page 18: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

The new communication model is a dialogue.
It should be transparent, authentic, vibrant, and consumer-driven.
![Page 19: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

In a social media environment, effective communication is no longer about broadcasting a tightly controlled message but
rather about initiating conversations and participating in conversations started by customers and other stakeholders.

This year Millenials/Gen Y-ers now outnumber Baby Boomers.

In short, they don’t care about ads or sales presentations.
They care about what their friends think.

But not only is the communication model changing, what students are learning in a typical business
communication course is changing, too.
![Page 28: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Memos and letters still have a role, to be sure, but they are being replaced in many instances by a
growing variety of electronic media.
![Page 29: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
These disruptive forces never stop, either. Some first-generation electronic media are already being supplanted by new social
media tools. For example, in many instances microblogs, blogs, newsfeeds, and social networking sites are replacing e-mail.
![Page 30: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

There are two fallacies about social media and electronic communication.
![Page 31: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Fallacy #1: Instant messaging (IM), blogs, social networks, microblogs, wikis, and other new media are social toys, not business tools.
![Page 32: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

A year or two ago, one might have asked, “Who is using these new media?” Today, the question is more like, “Who isn’t?”
![Page 33: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
But large companies aren’t the only ones using social media. Thousands of small companies are using social media, too.
![Page 34: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Fallacy #2: Students already know how to use all these new media, so instructors don’t need to cover them in class.
![Page 35: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Most students may know how to use these media, but only those with significant work experience are likely to
know how to use them in a professional context. Students need to get practical advice on using all of these media in
ways that meet the expectations of the employers.
![Page 36: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Emphasizing the tools students will be expected to use on the job is critical, but even that is only part of the story. Even more important than the tools themselves
is the profound shift that these tools have enabled, which students need to learn.
![Page 37: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Businesses that stick with the old “we talk, you listen” mode of unilateral communication increasingly find that nobody is willing to listen anymore. Therefore, to succeed in this new business environment, business communicators must approach their
tasks with a new mindset, in addition to these new tools.
![Page 38: Social Media and Electronic Communication--Classroom Edition](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033022/55d5310dbb61eb403f8b45ad/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Echoing the shift from the Web’s 1.0’s unidirectional model to Web 2.0’s interactive, conversational model, we
call this new approach Business Communication 2.0.
