Signal Leadership Communication Inc., a social PR consultancy for executives dealing with digital disruption, commissioned Nanos Research to conduct a public opinion poll of 1,000 Canadians which has found that social media is seen as the medium most able to cause damage to public image. Eighty-four percent (84%) of respondents surveyed said that social media ‘can do a great deal of damage to the image of an individual or organization.’ Only 71% felt this was true of both online news and broadcast television, while just over half (52%) said it about print newspapers and just under half (48%) about radio.

Internews Annual Survey: Media Consumption in Ukraine 2016DonbassFullAccess
The Internews annual media consumption survey shows more Ukrainians searching for news online and fewer getting their news from television. Trust in Ukrainian online media is also up, matching the trend in greater consumption. The survey also shows that Ukrainians are consuming Russian media far less than they did last year, and that trust in Russian media continues to decline.
Internet use in general, including news sites and social networks, is up. Around 67% of respondents said they use the web to get news, compared to 64% in 2015. Television is still the main source of news for Ukrainians, but it is continuing a downward slide in popularity. The number of Ukrainians reporting they watch TV news has declined from 89% in 2014, to 81% in 2015, and 79% in 2016.
Nevertheless, television remains the most popular means for people to get information, chiefly due to its traditional hold over audiences older than 35. Ukrainians’ favorite three TV channels are 1+1, Inter and STB.
The poll was conducted in May-June 2016 for Internews by the InMind market research company, with a sample size of 4,048, including 300 respondents or more in each of 12 oblasts – Kyiv, Lviv, Vinnytsia, Poltava, Sumy, Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Kharkiv. A smaller number of respondents in the remaining regions were added to provide a national picture. Donetsk and Luhansk interviews were held in areas under the control of the Ukrainian government.

A smaller number of respondents in the remaining regions were added to provide a national picture. Donetsk and Luhansk interviews were held in areas under the control of the Ukrainian government.

Public opinion poll on PR disasters and social mediaBob Pickard
Real and perceived PR disasters have become all the rage and they are happening in a famous way almost every day. This new study by Signal Leadership Communication Inc. (conducted by its partner company Nanos Research) points to the public's belief that social media is causing the problem of PR disasters, and that communicating on social media is the best solution.
Deloitte Media Consumer Survey 2014 - Australian media and digital preference...Francois Van Der Merwe
This third edition of Deloitte’s Media Consumer Survey, previously known as the State of the Media Democracy report, is a snapshot of how Australians are consuming different media and entertainment. In it we consider:
* How we like to be entertained
* Our preferred technologies and devices
* How we use social networks and their influence
* What and who we respond to
* Where advertising fits.

This report investigates how disinformation — defined as deliberately misleading or biased information — is spread in Canada and includes some comparisons to the U.S. It also explores the perceived breadth of reach and impact of disinformation on trust in society. The survey is based on the annual Institute for Public Relations (IPR) Disinformation in Society report conducted in the U.S. Based on the IPR study and this study, disinformation is increasingly a major problem in both countries. Therefore, understanding the power, perception, and factors that influence of disinformation in Canada is important.

Communication as a leadership skill is becoming more important than ever before. As we have seen in the case of Elon Musk, how CEOs signal their leadership on social media can make or break a company's reputation. Social is making PR a more critical corporate function, and now leadership communication by executives online is the key to public relations success for senior leaders.
PR in the c-suite: harnessing the disruptive power of social media for leader...Bob Pickard
If the cautionary Trump case study teaches us anything, it is the disruptive power of social media for leadership communication.
Communication technology has always been used for good and for ill, but when it is applied by leaders who understand public relations — or propaganda, its ‘evil twin’ — social media is now probably the most formidable force both for ethical persuasion and mass manipulation.
Especially when something goes wrong for an organization in the public domain, all eyes go online looking for the leader. But often CEOs are absent from social media and among those who are online, there are many who don’t know how to communicate with the public.
What we are seeing today is one PR disaster after another playing out on social media, with the character and capability of CEO communication proving decisive in deciding whether reputations are ruined or brands are built at these spectacular moments of truth.
Success in the c-suite has always been the holiest of grails for the public relations industry, but Bob Pickard of Signal Leadership Communication Inc. — one of Canada’s best known corporate communicators with a 20 year record building PR businesses overseas — believes that our industry is not yet realizing its potential when it comes to the public communication of top executives on social media.
Bob, who has counselled and coached hundreds of senior leaders around the world, will explain the challenges of access and attitude for CEO communication and share the latest ideas and insights about what he will argue is increasingly one of the most important segments of the public relations consulting business.
PR disasters: is social the problem or the solution?Bob Pickard
As this presentation outlines, the answer is 'both.' Social CEOs - using digital communications platforms effectively real-time and in tune with community emotion - can intercept and attenuate most corporate issues and incidents to prevent them from becoming full-blown PR disasters.
International communication for Asian multinationals: PR's next big thing?Bob Pickard
It won't be long before a majority of the FORTUNE 500 multinationals are based in Asia. China alone has 109 of these MNCs, but most of these are unknown globally. How these companies decide to use corporate communication to promote image and protect reputation as they build global brands in a social media age is the 'next big thing' in global public relations.
PR disasters: is social media the problem or the solution?Bob Pickard
In the social media age, managing your message and communicating effectively during a crisis has never been more important for leaders and their organizations. Social media’s power to build image and to destroy reputation is making public relations more important, while many of the old methods of corporate communication have suddenly become outmoded. This presentation contains recent public opinion research on social media, fake news, and PR disasters — backed by practical recommendations for leaders who need to communicate effectively as they deal with digital disruption.
PR disasters! Is social media the problem...or the solution?Bob Pickard
Just about everything that famously goes wrong is now called a 'PR disaster'. What can we do to deal with this new form of digital PR disruption? This presentation was delivered in Canada but includes global cases and international insights.
Signal Leadership Communication Inc. (SLC), a social public relations firm for executives and companies dealing with digital disruption, today released the results of a new study of how leading Canadian chief executives are using – and not using – social media. The Signal Social CEO Index is based on the Canadian Business magazine list of Canada’s Top 100 highest-paid CEOs (published on January 4th 2016).
Communicating with social media to make corruption obsoleteBob Pickard
"Communicating with social media to make corruption obsolete: applying the technology of transparent times to inspire informed citizens" is the theme of this presentation which was delivered at Hong Kong to the 2015 Symposium of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
Worldwide communication for Asian multinationals Bob Pickard
Almost 200 companies on the Fortune 500 list are now from Asia, but most of these rising multinationals - notably the nearly 100 based in China - remain relatively unknown outside their home regions. This next generation of worldwide titans are now wondering whether and how to use public relations to help build global brands, representing one of the industry’s biggest commercial opportunities. This new wave of companies will become world famous for the very first time in a social media age, but their embrace of PR as a critical corporate function is by no means a foregone conclusion. With Asia the world’s emerging centre of economic gravity, the region will be a critical battleground for the future of international public relations.
This presentation was delivered on April 29th 2014 to an audience of financial services organizations at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Hong Kong. It outlines why the financial services sector has been a social media late-bloomer, how it can get with the digital program, and things to think about in the design of their social business (as viewed through the prism of marketing communications).

This presentation was delivered in Beijing on March 20th 2014 to the 'China Going Global' think tank. The theme was "Overseas corporate communications for Chinese companies: building image and protecting reputation"
The marketing might of modern public relationsBob Pickard
Social media is revolutionizing the way the world communicates and it is powering the public relations industry’s global ascendancy. In Asia, PR has traditionally been a relatively minor and subordinate part of the marketing mix but now it increasingly occupies centre stage. Because public relations is at its essence a social networking business, it is well positioned to thrive in the digital domain, especially in a region where mobile communications are the new marketing battleground. Media relations and publicity will always be a key part of PR, but now creating content, building communities, understanding analytics and applying the psychology of persuasion are all part of the picture. PR will always be about the art of relationships, but increasingly it is a measurable communications science.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

most damaging medium, followed by the radio – which was seen as the least damaging to an individuals’
image. Canadians said that online news was the most timely source to get information, followed by the radio,
broadcast television, social media (such as Facebook and Twitter), and final paper newspapers.
