Getting your 'voice' right when socially engaging is exactly the same as the medias' knowing your audience skills. Yes, it's difficult, when speaking to a wide community (B2C) to hit the right note for all. But if you do, the news is going to spread further and be accessed by more.
This is why putting resources into training professionals and organisations to think about how they use social media (and other outlets) is absolutely key.
In our training for health professionals we often use the phrase "Think of it this way: The social media community and media audiences are your patients - 'en masse'. You can get messages out using these channels quickly and across a very broad reach. This is where your patients, your audience for engagement are. You need to be here too." Delete the scoop?
