Always in motion is the future”– Yoda As both digital and legacy (local) news competition continues its battle for audience and advertisers every resource and strategy must be held accountable in order to move the business forward. Social media is no longer a “feel good” tactic. It must produce results. What those results might be and how social media can be used to achieve them is what this session focused on. This presentation, for Inland 2014 Inland Press Mobile and Social Solutions Conference, deconstructs social media in terms of newspaper brand, journalists and advertisers. There are resource worksheets included to help guide you through the process of reconstructing or contstructing your social media plan. Best of luck!

When the history of online journalism is written, it will be hard to ignore the biggest mistake made by news organizations and media companies: thinking of the World Wide Web as primarily a one-way broadcasting or publishing medium. Richard Gordon, Medill School of Journalism Northwestern

The Point of Posting

http://smallbiztrends.com/

Hashtags: Yours, Mine & Ours

Hash tags can increase engagement almost 100% (2x) for journalists and 50% (1.5x) for news organizations. ~ Twitter

1. Tweet your beat 2. Share some personal 3. Include urls, photos, video 4. @ cite your sources 5. Create lists 6. Thank your community for retweets, mentions 7. Behind the scenes 8. Live tweet breaking news 9. Participate in tweet chats 10. More is less .. 120 characters 11. @ each other 12. Talk with your community!

Grow Your Twitter Community – Journalists

Accuracy 1st … never sacrifice for speed e.g. breaking news posts

Verification of sources including digital

Credit: Quote marks, via @, thanks to @ HT @ (Hat Tip)

Only Facts? Can Opinions Be Included? Indicate if your opinion or an ‘editorial post’

Be careful regarding perceived (digital) bias. Q: Will who you follow impact your reputation? Errors: take responsibility, correct. apologize Inside Out Golden Rule: Do unto others as they would like not as you would want.

News organizations that tweet 20% fewer URLs and 100 more @mentions grow followers 17% more than expected. ~ Twitter

“Your followers don't need you as much as you think. They can easily move on to another individual or change sources if they sense that you aren't who they think you are.” Professor (of media) Dennis Blader, University of New Haven
