If you had to give yourself a mark out of 10 for your level of
comfort/confidence with social media PERSONALLY, what
                        would it be?
If you had to give yourself a mark out of 10 for your level of
comfort/confidence with social media PROFESSIONALLY, what
                          would it be?
Why news organisations think they should be using
social media (hint: not enough collaboration!)


 1. Newsgathering and research               ✔


 2. To share your content                   ✔
3. To collaborate with the audience          ✔
Too many news organisations see social media as a resource they can
                   simply suck content from…
Even more see social media as just another distribution platform
Instead it needs to be about information flowing in and out as a proper
          dialogue between the newsroom and the ‘audience’
Collaborative
                               content – e.g.
                                community
                                 reporting
                                  network




              The arrow shows how some
             types of collaboration require
            more time and resourcing – but
               this can provide the most
                    powerful content

Collaborative
                                 content – e.g.
                                  community
                               reporting network




                    But also worth
             remembering, that when the
            audience starts discussing your
            content without prompting, you
              know what you’re doing is
                        working


storyful.
Which of the following do you trust to provide the most accurate opinion?


                 A family member

                    A close friend

              A good contact on a
                   social network

                      A neighbour

                 A store assistant

    The author of a blog you read
                         regularly

ournalist for a national newspaper

         A television news reader

       The main contacts on your
            microblog e.g. twitter

            A well known celebrity

  Your country’s leader/politicians



                                1.5   2.0   2.5         3.0        3.5        4.0
     storyful.
Why do people share?

                         To bring valuable and entertaining content to
 Altruism                others. We think about what our friends want to
                                 know, and try to help them out.

                       To define ourselves to others…“you are what you
                          share.” People consciously shape their online
  Self-definition           persona by the types of things they share


                         To strengthen and nourish our relationships.
  Empathy               Sharing shows someone else we’re thinking about
                                      them and we care.

                         To get credit and feedback for being a good
  Connectedness           sharer, to feel valuable in the eyes of others


                        To spread the word about a cause or brand we
   Evangelism                             we believe in.

What makes people contribute?

    1. When calls to action are simple


    2. When the instructions are clear and detailed


    3. If they believe their contributions are being read/listened to
    by journalists


    4. If they believe their contributions are having a wider impact


    5. If the subject matter has a low barrier to entry – personal
    experience vs opinion
