Doing Social Media differently

Social Media Question of the Week: What will keep Social Media from falling into the same traps as traditional broadcast media?

Is Social Media doomed to make the mistakes of traditional broadcast media, favoring popularity over quality and providing a platform for relatively few points of view? So wondered The Social Media Social Media Club Chris Heuer, Dave Peck and Deborah Crooks on Friday as they discussed how to keep Social Media as revolutionary as it already is. How can we ensure we stay open, flexible and willing hear new insights? What action would need to be taken to keep Social Media diverse and inclusive? We’d love to hear how you’re doing media differently in your social media reading and interacting.

#SMCQ17 What will keep Social Media from falling into the same traps as traditional broadcast media?

How to join the Social Media Clubs Question of the Week discussion: Our goal with the Question of the Week initiative is to create a truly collaborative conversation within and around the most up-to-the-minute issues affecting Social Media. Each week, the Social Media Club editorial board looks at trends, topics and news affecting social media during a Blogtalk Radio broadcast. During the call, the editorial board forms the question. This is where YOU come in: we’d love for you to post your thoughts on your blog, via Twitter or by commenting on the Social Media Club site. Please tag your blogs and posts with a hash tag, ‘#’, so we can track the conversation. For example, if you wrote a response to Social Media Club Question of the Week 13, please tag your post ‘#SMCQ13’ and we’ll be able to find it, track back, and link the post to the original post. Your answers will all be included in the weekly Conversation post & Blogtalk Radio broadcast review of the answers we received. We also invite you to call in to the shows to share your viewpoint. Instructions about how to call in will be given on this site by the end of each week. Thanks for joining the club!
