@celesteedmunds
49. The history of traditional media
• In 2009, we saw traditional media’s big shift. Newspapers and
magazines dropped in droves. Broadcast entities struggled to
produce news reports with minimal staff. Digital had begun to
dominate. Those news entities slow to adapt were left picking up the
pieces.
• As a result, 2010 became the year of adapting, reviving and surviving.
• 2011 brought a lot of change. Google Analytics and Algorithims,
Creating Facebook accts for businesses, tracking website visits.
• 2012 has brought large opportunities to companies that are willing to
take advantage of the new platforms available.

@celesteedmunds
Notas do Editor
Tapping into people and building relationships with people through a variety of mediums, both inside and outside of your organization, is public relations. Integrated marketing is public relations. Customer service is public relations. Community awareness events are public relations events. The daily engagement that we all do on a day-to-day basis is our company public relations. This is how public relations has always been, it ’s just that now things have changed a bit. Now we have more opportunities to reach more people, on a day to day basis, faster. How?
Things to remember that are key to any successful public relations campaign are takeaways from Natalie ’ s presentation regarding your messaging.
1. Multimedia is key. Radio industry professionals, for example, are now interested in more than just soundbites. They want pictures and video. In the same vein, print professionals are looking for more than just text. 2. Three C ’s, notes Kyle Johnson: PR pro’s should make content clear, concise and compelling. 3. Social media is a good way to get to know reporters, but it is not the most preferred way to pitch. Although journalists often use social media to gather sources or story ideas, the typical news release is still valuable. But social media has also upped the ante, so there is no way around it: if you ’re not using social media, you should be. 4. You must become part of the community and the conversation. Do this by following reporters and commenting on their stories. Get to know their coverage area. Also, be sure you are interacting online with the people who you want to receive your message and know your reporter. 5. In order to learn about people you have to interact with them. We always encourage PR professionals to read what newspapers and websites are printing and what specific reporters are writing and tweeting about. The media will continue to transform and as each medium merges digital and social media into the overall plan. Now, more than ever, with Integrated Marketing, we are seeing a crossover between mediums. Innovation will continue amongst media-minded gurus. The fat will be trimmed from current experiments, and new media practices will be honed. But while change is certain, some things will always remain the same. Despite new vehicles for communication, relationships between PR and media professionals will always be key. Meanwhile, the media still values and aspires to original and honest journalistic traditions. Can be overwhelming to folks just entering into these platforms. Encourage you do one thing a day, or one thing a week, whatever your resources will allow.
