Social Media and Blogs are an excellent way of getting your views across to a wider audience, as we are in a more visual age now with people rushing around and having a less attention span making a video or showing your issue through pictures appears to be a more effective way of showing what you mean. If you are producing an annual report rather than presenting the audience with a 20 page document which very few people read show them a video of what your group or organisation has achieved , not forgetting to get the participants to say how they felt about doing the course or taking part in activities, this has far more impact.
Social media and Blogs can also be used to put your views across to the Government or Council, all public servants now have websites and can be easily contacted through emails, why not set up your own blog and post it to them on a regular basis.
Is there anything else you can think about when using new media and blogs?
