What we did - Mainstream media as model - news is changing in MSM and we need to change to - news habits and expectations don’t change just b/c we’re higher ed - we don’t get a break - they work on a shoestring, too
not just content, but connections to content shareable AND shareworthy
thinking about discovery long term and short term value what is our approach to content development?
content means little in a decentralized environment value of your content is diversity of your institution it reprensents build relationships, share content --> take the lead
- go beyond text press release - structured content - last mile
relevance landing page Who is the audience? Why do this when we can tell our story directly? Why rely on the media? Are they communicating to our audience?
What we did - Mainstream media as model/analog - who wins ONA rewards, and for what? - hire ex-journalists or journalism grads -> content generalists in newsroom, multitool
Stories - better quality, more relevant stories evoke emotion, make emotional connection - emotional influence is powerful, drives action - that comes by keeping audience at top of mind
Holistic approach - best way to tell a story - photo/video/coding/design/writing
editorial meetings/planning/sharing
Relationships - Share reporting, pool skills, give credit - http://www.pbs.org/idealab/2011/02/3-ways-to-expand-the-news-ecosystem045.html your communications staff is a team, the quality of your content boosts your score share resources/don’t duplicate efforts
Be creative, find new angle - BU one class,, one day - Duke Op-Ed page - BU Profs Voices
Analytics - GA and social stats - inform you about your content, inform future editorial decisions what gets shared, what drives traffic
design - News is its own content type - stories need visual support to have high impact - get inspiration from Edustyle, Society for News Design, Mainstream Media
Innovate and try new tech - Live-tweeting, SoundSlides
Interactivity - cover it live/live chats, solicitations
- last mile - relevant - media works in real-time
Social Media Distribution - tie closely to news strategy/ed calendar And monitoring - for story ideas. Also, ask them!
News stories as landing pages – search/social - news stories are your ambassadors, gateway to your site/brand - Where do people go from there? Where is your news leading people? google, social media, links STATS on SM driver to News (Canada - http://www.reportr.net/2011/04/27/social-media-transforming-people-news/ )
News is not an island, it’s an archipelago - multichannel approach
Integrate across channels - social media - digital signage - printed materials - mobile - news consumption stats: http://stateofthemedia.org/2011/mobile-survey/ - web sections (thru tagging) - Harvard ( http://www.slideshare.net/harvardwww/analytics -and-social-tools-in-practice )
Involve your programmers Think of news like a product Blend feeds, make more interactive
Make your content shareable and nimble – nimble, http://www.pbs.org/idealab/2011/05/no-need-for-violence-in-microformat-war-between-hnews-rnews126.html
