Comment on Accuracy in Reporting: Thoughts on Social Media Impact During the Boston Tragedy by Sydney Ayers

Sydney Ayers — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 00:39:09 +0000

My perspective might be a little different than others because I was actually there in Boston resting in my hotel room after having run the marathon. I tuned into the local news immediately to learn what was happening and I have to say I was impressed. The reporters and anchors were very careful to say whether something had been confirmed or not. In fact, they were quick to correct inaccuracies since as you know, crises, especially ones on this scale, happen at light-speed. Social media and cell phones not only helped tell the story but more importantly, aided in catching these guys. They also helped my friends and loved ones know I was safe (or at least hadn’t been injured by the bombings). Perhaps the difference was that my news came from local sources there on the ground while others were relying on the Internet and CNN.

When one media outlet cites another media outlet for confirmation and that initial report is wrong — we end up with a continuum of incorrect information and a prime example of lazy journalism.

The video was very informative. Where can I find the rest of the series. Also I would have to disagree to the first line that SEO is technical. Once you get to know the basics of seo it isn’t that much technical as people normally think.

I guess I need to work on taking more properly lit photos! This is a great post, Lauren. I especially agree with your simple but important statement to “show it, don’t tell it.” Look at your brand’s social media content through a personal and non-professional lens. What do you like to look at on social media in your free time, and then emulate that at work!

Comment on Error Correction – Is it Worth the Effort? by Error Correction – Is it Worth the Effort? | Ground Floor Media | Public Relations & Social PR Insight | Scoop.it

[...] Good case study… Gone are the days of the hidden, tiny text box where a publication admits it made a reporting error. In today’s digital media age, you no longer have to wait days or weeks to rectify incorrect or inflammatory comments made about your client. You can now ask outlets for updates to be made online almost immediately. But the question remains: Does the value of correcting what you and your client see as inaccurate outweigh the risk of getting sideways with a reporter who will likely cover your client again? In GroundFloor Media’s recent experiences, the answer is a resounding yes…. [...]

Comment on To Telecommute or Not to Telecommute by Kimmie Greene

Well, I may be biased as a colleague of Amanda’s, but kudos for tackling this topic – it is all too timely. Check out this recent Fast Company article about “work+life naturals” – I’m sure these “naturals” rely on a remote worker policy to get it all done in a day. I know I do and I’m no natural! http://www.fastcompany.com/3005110/5-insanely-simple-work-life-balance-shortcuts-people-who-have-it-all
