26. Consequences
• Media cannot break the news any longer. They lost the power of the scoop.
• The imagery is no longer controlled by media or any other official organizations.
• Everyone is shouting at the same level: victims, public, government, emergency
services, ...
• But there’s still a need for ‘official’ communication in order to:
- avoid wrong information
- guide and help
- provide opinion/context
• Basically: we need to turn the power of social into a constructive mechanism

‘Faster’ (lifesaving) information
zondag 11 september 11
55. // Summary
1. Government has to create unique and official crisis accounts in social media.
These accounts/pages contain official curated & aggregated information from
the government and the emergency services.
2. Media need to become gatekeepers of the social stream and create dedicated,
curated newspages with both ‘traditional’ & ‘social’ content.
Result:
People get a qualitative selection of aggregated & curated content,
coming from traditional sources & social streams. They can help
amplifying these official channels, instead of unverified noisy channels.
Victims & family find fast, social ‘directives’.

56. People should better not track all messages from certain hashtags, listen to all
messages in the stream and amplify the noise
