Retrospect – december 2. 2009 – new media and old media
This blogpost is a rant from the 8th of may 2005 entitled “new media and old media” – I still feel somewhat the same – the old media has gotten better at it though – but they still have a long way to go…
”
I have been doing some thinking again – it sprung from my danish women network where some of the members are real busy telling the network when they are in danish magazines. Frankly I am so very tired about these really cool women, displayed by the media, the way the media wants to display them. so the “old” media – such as newspapers, magazines, tv etc etc – they ask you questions.. you answer. they control the conversation…
they have the power – they ask the questions. they “scope” the interview or article or whatever.. anyway..
new media – whether it is wiki’s, blogs, podcasting or whatever puts you in charge !
you do the thinking – you scope the questions, you put out there what you genuinely want out there… and your customers ( and fellow networkers ) will answer – read you, know you !
you will be more reliable than you could ever be in the normal media.
you will be more visible…
remember: you only get what you put out there .. if you don’t ask the questions you really wont get the answers….”
