Need to improve communications in all aspects – web content, search availability, collaborative media, and social media We’ll focus on social media first, as it’s had the most profound impact on communications flow
Explain that while government may push its information online into social media, where it will get covered and how is determined by the online community Each of these venues won’t necessarily be targeted or important to government online interactions, but it’s important to consider all of the ways your online reputation is shaped Explain terms such as micro-blogging, virtual worlds, and social networks in this context
The government no longer speaks to the people through the media. Instead, communications shift and change as they make their way from where they are delivered through online channels to their final destination. However, online also gives the opportunity to address the people directly in new ways, which we will discuss in more detail later
- We’ve talked about how search is critical because it’s how people generally find answers to the information they seek. But what determines search results? And how can this help us communicate?- Which of these is most important? Which is least?
