COMM 3309 Social Media for Public Relations St. Edward’s University • Department of Communication Section 01 • Spring 2010 • TH 118 • MW 3:30 – 4:45 p.m. Instructor: Dr. Corinne Weisgerber Email: corinnew@stedwards.edu COURSE DESCRIPTION In April 2006, Richard Edelman, CEO of the largest independently owned PR firm in the world, told an audience of PR professionals that: “The media, communications, and marketing landscape in which the public relations industry was developed is being knocked down [...] It is the decline of media based on a top-down model of communications. In this model, a small group of elites are briefed in advance with messages that are too often tightly scripted to brief the national newspaper, broadcast networks and newsmagazines. The message is then simplified and communicated to a mass audience via advertising or as “earned” editorial. This model is premised on the audience being passive receptors for the message [...] In the emerging model, as epitomized by YouTube, MySpace, Oh My News and Wikipedia, ordinary people provide content to others. Ideas and information are passed virally. This consumer generated content alters the laws of control of message. Many are calling this new social and user driven media ‘Web 2.0.’” COURSE ASSIGNMENTS SOCIAL MEDIA AUDIT * Many thanks to Barbara Nixon from Georgia Southern University. This project is based heavily on her work there. This assignment gives you an opportunity to learn how to monitor blog and other social media content in a way that provides similar insight offered by more traditional environmental scanning methods. Many people will discuss your client or organization and its products/services on their own Web sites or on social media sites, outside of realm traditional media. Just as it is important for you to know what the media and your community are saying about your organization and its products/services, it is important to know what is being said in social media sites like blogs, social networks, and microblogs. For this assignment, you will: • monitor the online conversation that has occurred about an organization or brand of your choosing during the past 4 weeks • create a table for your data, and • write an analysis of the conversation with suggestions for action.
