Crisis Blogging: Risks, rewards and the rapidly changing world of best practices
送給吳清和先生和中時電子報....
New Rules of crisis work in the age of blogs and search engines:
1) The blogosphere enlarges the terrain of crisis communications by adding speed, complexity and size.
Lesson: Don’t underestimate the ability of the least traditionally influential reporter, blogger or even “citizen journalist to turn your world upside down. Expect it, plan for it, plan your response.
2) The blogosphere’s record is permanent, its half-life is far longer, and big mistakes are punished more quickly and ruthlessly.
Lesson: The Internet has made a permanent record of all media since the mid-90s. The Blogosphere now makes a permanent and highly searchable vehicle for all commentary since roughly 2003. Research it, respond to it, and take proactive charge of your reputation. Don’t let others write the history books without sizeable input from those who lived it.
3) Knowledge of the tools is as important as knowledge of the players.
Lesson: Knowledge of the tools of blogging is utterly necessary to understand and inform your strategy for what the blogosphere represents. Create your own personal blog for practice, then learn all you can about what tools are most relevant to your company, your position, your field.
4) Pick your battles – and don’t bring a knife to a gunfight.
Lesson: Know when you’re in a crisis and respond accordingly. Don’t abuse the tools of the blogosphere or you can find yourself in a crisis defending your crisis management.
Maybe Pajamas Media wasn’t such a bad name afterall
送給中時編輯部落格,你們想要導正部落格世界的想法並不孤單。「The goal of our enterprise is to bring gravitas and legitimacy to the blogosphere…」from Open Source Media, the whatever-it-is.
我喜歡Jeff Jarvis的反應:「Oh, gag me with a mitre.」
Citizen Journalism
PBS NewsHour針對公民新聞的專題報導,很不錯,可以看到美國人怎麼作在地的公民新聞,是影像檔喔。
If I Didn't Build it, They Wouldn't Come: Citizen Journalism is Discovered (Alive) in Watertown, MA
這篇則是公民新聞實踐者的感想與經歷,還沒看完。
