This document discusses the challenges of introducing a new social media monitoring platform called CrowdTangle to a public broadcaster organization. Some of the key challenges mentioned include resource restrictions, lack of priority given to digital and not understanding metrics. The document then introduces CrowdTangle as a potential solution, noting that it is free, easy to use, and puts control in the hands of individuals. It discusses how CrowdTangle could save significant time and resources for the organization based on automation of certain tasks and social media monitoring. Finally, the document emphasizes the need to be willing to break rules and experiment to drive change and adoption of new tools.

● Public sector broadcaster
○ Resource and priority restrictions (lack of spending power by section)
○ Layers
● In the dark about performance/numbers
○ ‘Vanity’ numbers versus actionable metrics
● Traditional newsgathering & processes
● sub-HIPPO’s
○ The usual: fiefdoms, resistance, monopolies
■ [Survey story]
● Not a priority
○ ‘I’m busy’
○ Techno/digital fear
● Culture

○ ...Bypass procurement/onboarding (typically 6 months)
■ No need for any extra technical implementation ie bypass that layer also
○ Supported by C-level player
○ Super user-friendly, everyone can relate to a platform
○ Puts control in the hands of the individual
■ Social newsgathering
■ Performance analysis
● (Self)
● Across the organisation
