Communicating Failure in the Age of Social Media | Council of Public Relations Firms

From prfirms.org - November 9, 2011 10:39 PM

Failure has cachet. Harvard Business Review devoted its April 2011 issue to the subject, with many authors agreeing on its importance to the running of successful, innovative enterprises. Since Steve Jobs’ death, observers have catalogued his missteps—he never graduated from college; he was fired from the company that he himself had started—and ranked them as a vital part of his legacy. A Babson College study recently concluded that entrepreneurship was “a series of failures.”

 

It seems okay to fail—indeed, more than okay. But there’s another question. Is it okay to talk about our failures?...

Truthsquad-Fact-Checks-Controversial-Claims

From editorandpublisher.com - October 25, 2011 11:32 PM

Sifting through the falsehoods and half-true sentiments popping up left and right online is Truthsquad, a journalist-driven, community fact-checking experiment of NewsTrust, in partnership with the Center for Public Integrity. The site (NewsTrust.net/Truthsquad) aims to help viewers decipher what’s fact and what’s fiction on the Internet, and is gearing up for an especially active 2012 election season.

 

Truthsquad’s goal is to give readers new tools for checking information on the Web — and, in the process, help build media literacy skills with the guidance of professionals, as stated on Truthsquad’s home page. The underlying concept is to combine the center’s newsroom of investigative journalists with crowd-sourcing and partner contributions while engaging visitors. Truthsquad doesn’t just target politicians, but media pundits and public figures as well....

Of PR and protest: The Times They Are A-Changin’

Of PR and protest: The Times They Are A-Changin’ | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.argylecommunications.com - October 18, 2011 10:22 PM

‘Occupy Wall Street’ teaches PR lessons — and risks of rushing to judgment

 

Walking past the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ protest in New York City, as I did last week, it would be easy to dismiss its relatively small size, incoherent message, and messengers who (for the most part) don’t look and sound like mainstream America. To do so would be a mistake. There’s a level of public relations sophistication at work here that could have unpredictable consequences.

 

Case in point: following the October 1st arrests of some 700 protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge, a PR battle ensued...

Truth-O-Meter, franchised: PolitiFact places its bets on expanding to states

Truth-O-Meter, franchised: PolitiFact places its bets on expanding to states | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.niemanlab.org - September 20, 2011 2:20 PM

In its expansion, PolitiFact sets its sights on becoming an Associated Press for fact-checking.

 

Four years is a long time to be setting pants on fire.

 

It was August 2007 when PolitiFact officially launched its fact-checking mission and introduced the world to the Truth-o-Meter, giving new weight to the childhood warning of “pants on fire.” Over the years more than 4,000 statements have gone through the meter, registering claims on health care, the national debt, Slim Jims, and the truthiness of Fox News.

 

Fact-checking has seen an interesting progression in recent years, evolving into a stand-alone form of news....

Reporters Without Borders suspends WikiLeaks mirror site | Media news | Journalism.co.uk | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.journalism.co.uk - September 5, 2011 2:15 PM

Press freedom group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has temporarily suspended its WikiLeaks mirror site following a decision by the group to publish its full trove of 251,000 unredacted US diplomatic cables.

 

In a statement issued late yesterday (1 September), RSF said it took the decision to suspend the site which was set up in December last year while the protection of sources "is in question"....

The Nonprofit Quarterly: NPR, Occupy Wall Street, and Journalists' Ethics

The Nonprofit Quarterly: NPR, Occupy Wall Street, and Journalists' Ethics | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.nonprofitquarterly.org - October 27, 2011 1:38 PM

When do the personal political values of news organizations employees bump into principles of journalistic integrity ad impartiality?

 

...Now it seems like there is concern that Lisa Simeone, the host of National Public Radio’s opera show, attracted attention that NPR didn’t want through her role as a spokesperson for a group that many in the press saw as part-and-parcel of the Occupy Wall Street movement....

When I started hacking you were just one layer above the bare metal. You were typing into this wonderful emptiness, waiting to be populated with minds.

 

The thrill of getting into top-secret websites quickly became addictive for Julian Assange. Here he describes all-night hacking sessions, a cat-and-mouse game with a computer administrator and the arrival of the police...

Charlie Beckett: WikiLeaks symptomatic of a trend that's going to accelerate - Editors Weblog

Charlie Beckett: WikiLeaks symptomatic of a trend that's going to accelerate - Editors Weblog | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.editorsweblog.org - September 21, 2011 10:18 PM

Nobody can accuse Wikileaks of being afraid of the spotlight. The whistleblower organization hit the headlines again this month as the un-redacted US Embassy cables became available online, and old arguments about its status as an institution resurfaced. Many have scrambled to have their say, but few have given the matter as much thought as Charlie Beckett.

 

Beckett is founding director of POLIS, the journalism think-tank in the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics. An award-winning journalist, he is currently writing a book about Wikileaks to be published by Polity in the autumn. He talks here about how we shouldn't see WikiLeaks as an 'aberration' but as part of the changing landscape of modern journalism....
