Notes de l'éditeur
The past 50 years have been witness to a remarkable evolution of communications. Modern-day communications began modestly in the 1950s with the introduction of what were at the time technological breakthroughsThe 1960s were noteworthy for cementing TV as THE communications medium and introducing a new technology that one could argue is already a relic in today’s worldBreakthroughs in the 1970s allowed for greater global access to information, while the 1980s saw the first signs personal and mobile communications technologyHowever, the communications evolution turned revolution in the 90s with an explosion of new media forms. Internet became accessible to all, even grandma got an email account, and outlets like the Drudge Report legitimized online news. Today, it seems that new media forms are introduced daily. You need a scorecard to keep up. For communicators, this rapid change can be overwhelming, but also a tremendous opportunity as vast audiences can be reached with great intimacy
It’s a rapidly changing world. Modern-day communications began modestly in the 1950s with the introduction of what were at the time technological breakthroughs
However, the communications evolution turned revolution in the 90s with an explosion of new media forms. Internet became accessible to all – and with access, lowered the bar to communicate messages. It allowed almost anyone to become a media outlet, sometime regardless of qualifications or integity. Today, it seems that new media forms are introduced daily. You need a scorecard to keep up. For communicators, this rapid change can be overwhelming, but also a tremendous opportunity as vast audiences can be reached with great intimacy….but there are no rules and the roadmap changes constantly with faster innovation.
There are a wide range of social networks across Asia, but Facebook has been making tremendous progress is almost all markets. (Facebook is banned in China, but Facebook clone Xiaonei has seen tremendous growth). If current trends hold, Facebook will overtake Orkut in India sometime later this year. Facebook’s prominence comes for a number of reasons, including the high mobile platform, which has proved popular in numerous markets. In Indonesia, for example, Facebook surpassed Friendster largely thanks to people with cheap Blackberry-style phones from China using Facebook while stuck in Jakarta traffic.

Social networking, blogs, and video / data sharing created Many voices all speaking at once with many opinions. The challenge for organizations today is learning how to leverage the new media to create a cycle of communication that links and feeds on itself.
It’s a New World and New Communications Mindset is needed. Today’s communication environment is about reaching a mass audience on an individual basis. Interactivity and intimacy are keys to success. The exchange of ideas helps to inflame interest and promote passion.
Thus, important to fully understand/leverage how information is received/digested throughout the communications cycleGlobalRegional Local
Reporters are no longer the sole “gatekeeper” of information. Organizations now have an opportunity to communicate beyond the media and directly with consumers and investors, worldwide. While traditional media still holds sway, big dividends are yielded when savvy communicators embrace the new generation of citizen journalists, bloggers and participants in social networks.
When we as communicators distribute news online, we are often looking at raising the visibility of an issue or campaign. Visibility is one of those things that we have measured for a long time in clips and hits.
As in the last slide from the Nielsen study on the White House, Engagement is increasingly one of the most important things that we can measure.
The objective is to have those of influence take notice, whether it is a reporter at The Wall Street Journal, your industry’s top blogger, or a single customer in SaskatoonGoal is to develop communications plans that empower the audience to want to own the message and create momentum that links and feeds on itself
