Using Social Media in Broadcasting Industry - Oregon Association of Broadcast...Integrate
This document discusses how local TV stations are using social media to attract audiences and engage with viewers. It outlines that stations are using platforms like Facebook to source story leads, crowdsource ideas, run viewer polls and contests, and have conversations with viewers. Some stations live stream events, allow audiences to develop questions for newsmakers, and create anchor-less or web-only content. The document recommends choosing the right social media platforms, having a content schedule, engaging loyal followers, commenting on external stories, and measuring business results from social media use.

Finding The Social In Fundraising: AFP Northern New England Keynote AddressDebra Askanase
This document discusses how different generations prefer to engage with nonprofit organizations and how organizations can utilize social media for fundraising. It notes that millennials and Gen X are more interested in volunteering and social sharing over monetary donations compared to older generations. Additionally, people are more likely to donate if they can directly see the impact of their donation. Successful social media fundraising campaigns utilize visual content, storytelling, peer influence, and showing the tangible impact of donations. The document encourages nonprofits to embrace new technologies, be transparent about impact, and cultivate millennial donors to meet current and future donor expectations.

Social Networking and Media: PRIORITIZING FOR YOUR SOCIETYKiKi L'Italien
The Key Point I’d like for you to remember today is this: Social Media Planning is ESSENTIAL for propelling your societies forward.
My Objective this afternoon is to persuade you to use POST Methodology in order to make the most of your time spent in social media.
It seems most organizations are in a position currently so that they are reacting to technology changes instead of proactively anticipating its uses. (Everyone is getting a telephone - we need a telephone.)
The end result of this reactionary period is that organizations are losing opportunity - whether that is measured by fundraising, loyalty, or brand awareness; the majority of organizations out there are still trying to figure out what they need to do.

Workshop presentation by Darren Sharp Resonate Solutions to SOCAP Australia FMCG group. Presented at SOCAP 2012 annual conference in Melbourne Australia 29 August 2012.
Social media can help improve awareness of causes through platforms like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and blogs. Facebook is especially important as it allows users to create cause pages to spread awareness, circulate petitions, provide updates, and expand donor bases. These platforms can inform the public and help generate support when used properly to share positive and negative news about an issue. The key is choosing keywords and formats that reach people already interested in an organization's cause.

Pinterest: It's Not Just for Impossibly Hard Crafts [Social Media + Advocacy ...Jessica Hood
As advocacy experts, we know that telling a story helps to make our case and influence people to join our cause. Telling your story through pictures is a very persuasive way to gain vital support for your issue or campaign. With 50 million active users on Pinterest and 40 million photos posted each day on Instagram, we will look at how groups are reaching key influencers to help them see the picture clearly.
SevenTwenty's Jessica Hood will share case studies of organizations and campaigns putting Pinterest and Instagram to use and leave you with additional ideas on how this dynamic story telling platform can work for your campaign.
This document discusses how social media can be used to improve awareness of and support for a cause. It recommends using Twitter to inform followers about happenings and get to know them, creating a Facebook page to spread awareness, circulate petitions, provide updates, expand the donor base, and raise money, which is identified as the most important use. It also recommends starting a blog to share insights from advocates and establish yourself as a thought leader.
The document discusses the effectiveness of digital philanthropy and donating to charities online. While digital donations have increased due to their ease, not all charity organizations are equally trustworthy or efficient with funds. Donors should research charities thoroughly to understand how donations are used and ensure their money will directly help people in need, as some charities spend more on administrative costs. With care and knowledge about different charities, digital philanthropy has great potential to create positive change.
Support and Development Organisation - Communication optionsCasey Morrison
1. The document discusses how the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and other voluntary organizations can use social media to further their missions. It provides examples of how social media can be used for community building, gathering information, internal and external communications, hosting interactive events, consultations, learning, and promoting projects and jobs.
2. Specific benefits mentioned include crowdsourcing campaigns, networking with others working on similar issues, cheap and accessible consulting, representing organizations and bypassing gatekeepers, and influencing others by building coalitions through sharing content.
3. Potential challenges discussed include having enough time, discomfort with technology, lack of followers, and ensuring content is relevant to the community. The document raises questions about how to implement social media
Staying Connected: Using Social Media to Communicate, Sebastopol Senior Cente...Kerry Rego
Kerry Rego Consulting spoke at Sebastopol Senior Center May 11, 2012. She defined social media, gave current statistics, demonstrated traditional tools vs. new tools, and talked about the communication tools we have available to use to communicate with family, friends and the outside world.
Social media is a framework that emulates real life by allowing people to connect and share information. It deepens relationships, gives people a voice, and influences them. Through social media, everyone can publish and consume information. Companies can use social media to build communities, strengthen relationships, and increase collaboration. Charity Water is presented as a case study of a nonprofit that uses social media best practices like driving participation, stating issues, showing progress, and using visual data and personal stories to engage supporters and raise awareness for its cause. The presentation concludes that social media is about building relationships and interactions that increase reach, speed, and participation over time.

TIGER/Line Data in the Cloud - Tom MacWrightCrisisCommons
The document summarizes making open TIGER/Line data from the US Census Bureau useful in the cloud. It details that over 125GB of TIGER/Line road and geographic boundary data took over 12 hours to download, unzip, and upload to Amazon's cloud. Once in the cloud, a mapping server could be booted up in a minute and the TIGER data connected in two minutes, providing open-source mapping capabilities for over 14,000 school districts and areas without restrictive licenses. Cloud computing allows for scalability while open-source mapping software enables grassroots involvement in projects like OpenStreetMap.
Google Kipendo is Google's crisis response function that aims to build relationships with other organizations, integrate their data with Google technology, and provide an awareness platform before, during, and after crises. The goal is to improve Google's crisis response capabilities. It has growing staff of full-time employees and others contributing 20% of their time. At the event, the Google Kipendo team wanted to learn what assistance is needed from others, who can help, and what not to do, and share ideas like Google MapMaker and data/imagery sharing of medical, logistical, and avoidance area information.
This document discusses how mobile phones can be used effectively during a crisis to share information. It notes that trying to push information to people on their mobile phones during an emergency may not work well due to network stresses. Instead, it suggests listening to what information people want to share about the crisis through their personal and social media use on mobile devices. Mobile phones can provide valuable insights into an unfolding crisis situation from first-hand sources.

Common Alerting Protocol/Interopeable DataCrisisCommons
The document discusses the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP), which is an international standard format for exchanging emergency alerts and warnings. It allows alerts to be easily disseminated across various networks and devices. The document outlines what CAP is, why standards are important, examples of how CAP can be used, and its structure. Future directions of CAP include increased use that could save more lives and protect more property.
The Central America Probabilistic Risk Assessment (CAPRA) is a tool that can be used to understand, communicate, and support decisions around various natural hazards in Central America. CAPRA allows users to assess risk from earthquakes, hurricanes, intense rain, volcanoes, tsunamis and other events, and to analyze vulnerability, risk, and the potential costs and benefits of different risk reduction strategies. The software provides probabilistic risk modeling, risk mapping, and can help with land use planning and risk financing decisions.
Skillful Digital Activism: Cultivating Media Ecologies for Transformative Soc...Vicki Callahan
“Skillful Digital Activism: Designing Strategies for Transformative Social Change”
This presentation explores the conceptual frameworks and practical strategies employed in social change campaigns that have utilized digital media as a crucial component of their organizing tool kit. Moving beyond the hazards of superficial social media engagement, or the justly maligned “clicktivism,” to transformative and long term impact, I examine a range of case studies that have worked to develop a “horizontal,” rather than top down, rich media ecology, which networks diverse groups, fosters community, and promotes real change. Whether using virtual reality, interactive documentaries, or DIY tools, projects such as Half the Sky, Lunch Love Community, Food Inc, Triangle Fire Archive, Through the Lens Darkly/Digital Diaspora, VozMob, and #BlackLivesMatter are all pioneering digital tools and strategies in the struggle for social justice. While their philosophies and strategies might be different each campaign mark a shift from a broadcast to a participant focused model where advocacy and engagement are connected. This work was presented at Dublin City University on November 10, 2015 and also an earlier version of this was at the Performance, Protest, and Politics Conference at University College Cork in August 2015. These presentations with part of my Fulbright Research award for 2015-2016.

2) It provides examples of how volunteers and public participation helped map needs and resources for crisis response through initiatives like CrisisCamp Haiti.
3) Key recommendations are to include participatory communities in crisis response planning, create missions to coordinate volunteer efforts, invest in open data preparedness, and engage communities outside of traditional organizational boundaries.
Jane Jordan-Meier is an expert in crisis communication and the founder of a media training consultancy. She discusses how crisis communication has changed in the digital age. Social media is now central to crisis response and plans must account for platforms like Twitter and Facebook. Crises follow predictable reporting patterns and companies must have a strategy with clear stages and an "end game" in mind. Monitoring social media is crucial to respond quickly in the initial "golden hour" of a crisis.

Media Literacy and Communication -- Fundamentals ClassCorinne Weisgerber
This document discusses several key concepts related to media literacy:
1. It introduces theories of media effects including uses and gratifications theory, agenda setting theory, and cultivation theory.
2. It emphasizes the importance of understanding how media influences audiences and engaging with media critically rather than passively.
3. It addresses debates around the impact of internet and social media use on social connection and isolation. While some research finds internet use reduces isolation, other research links increased use to greater loneliness and smaller social networks.
This is a presentation I recently gave in Tulsa, OK, to a wonderful group of non-profit leaders who are looking to get started in or further their knowledge of social media as a way to advance their missions.
The document discusses how social media and new technologies have changed crisis communications and expectations around response times. It notes that people now get breaking news from social media crowds rather than traditional media, and organizations need to be able to respond as quickly through platforms like Twitter and Facebook. Examples are given of both effective and ineffective social media responses to recent crises. The document advocates practicing new crisis communication strategies that leverage social media for real-time situational updates and establishing a quick multi-directional information flow between an organization and online crowds.

Going Social: What You Need to Know to Launch a Social Media StrategyJim Rattray
1) To launch a successful social media strategy, you need to understand your audience, choose appropriate channels, and establish your voice and message.
2) It is also important to consider privacy, confidentiality, engaging your audience, and measuring your results.
3) The future of social media includes greater patient engagement through tools like electronic medical records and patient portals, as well as changes driven by mobile access.
OpenStreetMap in Palestine - Mikel MaronCrisisCommons
OpenStreetMap aimed to create a free and open map of Palestine by crowdsourcing mapping contributions. They found that existing maps were expensive, outdated, incomplete or politically biased. The project partnered with local organizations to test mapping on the ground and collect existing data. It then conducted a successful fundraising campaign to obtain aerial imagery in order to rapidly map roads and points of interest across the West Bank and Gaza.
Wireless Devices, Africa, And Public Policy - Kenneth BrownCrisisCommons
Lionchase Holdings proposes creating an "Open Zone Wireless" experiment in an African nation to bring new device manufacturing and wireless infrastructure to the region. The experiment would establish a network-neutral zone for wireless devices to stimulate innovation, job creation, and trade. Lionchase outlines goals of empowering the participating African nation, establishing new manufacturing standards, and collecting valuable data to fund the project and benefit partners through app sales, banking, and other services on the open wireless network. Lionchase seeks additional partners and funding to launch the $15 million pilot program and help the selected African country become a leader in wireless technology advancement.
Sahana is free and open source disaster management software that was created in response to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It provides scalable information management with modules to track missing persons, requests for aid, shelter locations, and other essential disaster response functions. Since 2005, Sahana has been deployed for disasters in numerous countries and continues to develop new features while expanding its user community worldwide.
The document summarizes a conference sponsored by the World Bank on disaster risk management. It thanks the sponsors and gives special thanks to the World Bank disaster risk management team. It lists the first and second speaker groups which include people from organizations like the US Emergency Operations Center, Edelman, Gregelin.com, OSM Foundation, Sahana Software Foundation, World Bank, Booz Allen, Google, and others who will be discussing topics like mobile phones in crises, the semantic web, open source disaster management systems, citizen reporting, social media uses, and cloud-based data.
The document discusses moving from a command and control approach to public health management to one of management and influence with emergent coherence. It proposes creating an extensible, developed, global, event-driven extreme collaboration hub (EDGE) to facilitate information sharing. The EDGE would allow sharing of information from any source, discussions before events occur, asking for and finding resources to close transactions, and crowdsourcing for effective surveillance. It would connect emerging tools and legacy systems to share patient records and prioritize care.
Crisis Networking and Public Warning in Disaster - Colin FloodCrisisCommons
This document discusses a student's senior thesis topic on the future of disaster public warning systems in the United States. The student plans to investigate current federal and local warning systems, as well as how Harvard University issues emergency notifications. They will also examine how informal warning networks spread information rapidly during crises. The goal of the research is to determine how official warning systems can better utilize informal crisis networks for two-way communication and information gathering during emergencies.
Citizen Participation in Crisis Response & Rebuilding involves starting with an idea, finding engineers to build software and tools to address citizen needs during emergencies, launching platforms to share data and provide feeds and APIs, giving feedback to iterate and improve solutions, and continuing to build supportive communities. The document references examples like Twitter Vote Report and Ushahidi that created tools to help during disasters like Hurricane Katrina by working within existing information flows and identifying ways citizens could support each other.
Networked Homeland Security - David StephensonCrisisCommons
The document discusses how networked technologies like social media, mobile devices, and alert systems can transform homeland security by empowering the public to become partners rather than just recipients of information. It argues that these networked technologies allow for more effective emergency response in a crisis by spreading information in real-time to the edges of the network. However, it notes that policies, procedures, and partnerships still need to be developed to better govern and improve public participation when utilizing these networked technologies for homeland security.
Mobile phones may not be the best way to disseminate information during a crisis. The cell network is already stressed under normal conditions and will become overloaded during an emergency. When a crisis occurs, people's priority is often to share information with their social networks on mobile phones rather than receiving official communications. Instead of pushing messages to audiences, organizations should listen to how the crisis is being discussed on mobile devices and social media and provide information that addresses people's actual needs. Mobile technology provides opportunities for two-way communication that can help response efforts.
The document summarizes key concepts related to the Semantic Web in 5 minutes or less:
1) It defines APIs as a "remote control for software" that allows software to request and share data.
2) Resources are any digital object that can be identified on the web, such as documents, books, and people.
3) Triples use the structure of subject-predicate-object to express relationships between resources, like "Clay Shirky wrote Here Comes Everyone."
4) The Semantic Web enables "automated content enhancement" by linking resources on the web through the use of triples.
5) Linked Open Data aims to link data on the web in the same open and

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
