The document discusses research on how traditional media in South Africa can satisfy the needs of digital readers. An online survey found that most readers prefer online news sources and want original content and financial information rather than social media. Younger audiences were more open to social media. The research also revealed that journalists need to adapt content to satisfy readers' needs for customized content. It was suggested that news organizations implement Web 2.0 technologies to engage readers, enhance content, and potentially develop an online payment model. However, the survey sample was limited and biased towards certain demographics.

Abstract
Over the last decade, the way people communicate with each other has been changing astonishingly. The
extensive new plethora of media has given to customers more options to gather and provide information
about products and services. This study attempted to identify and measure the degree to which Social
Networking Sites influence people's professional lives, their social skills and work productivity and
ultimately boost effectiveness. Quantitative and qualitative methodologies were used for this research.
The results reveal that Social Networking Sites play an essential role in employees‟ relations with
customers, that Instant Messaging (IM) services offered by Social Networking Sites can be a crucial
element for organizations in disseminating information, enabling knowledge sharing, increasing
productivity and promoting teamwork. It seems that customer engagement and Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) are vital tools for organizational effectiveness, not only to maintain loyal clients but
also to survive and keep maintaining profitability.

Business Case #7
Internet Marketing
The Internet has been the fastest-growing marketing medium in recent years. As Internet
technology has developed and broadband penetration has increased, numerous opportunities have
arisen which more and more companies are trying to exploit.
This note describes various aspects of online marketing. Each section of the note is self-contained
and addresses a particular theme:
The first section, “The online audience”, explains how, and how widely, the Internet is used today.
A medium is only useful for marketing purposes if it allows sellers to reach potential buyers. This
section looks at online shoppers and their willingness to research and carry out purchases online.
The second section, “Particularities of the Internet”, compares the Internet with other media. The
Internet is different from other media in certain respects, but there is nothing to be afraid of. The
challenge is to exploit its particularities so as get the best possible return on investment.
The third section, “Potential of Internet marketing”, shows how the Internet can be the vehicle for
marketing activities at all stages of the purchase process. Whether the aim is to arouse consumer
interest in a sales proposition, explain the proposition or close a sale, the Internet has the tools to
do it.
The fourth section, “Options for Internet marketing”, describes the most widely used online
marketing tools.
The fifth section, “The Internet marketing market”, presents the players in the market. To find the
right service provider, assuming we have decided what we expect from our online campaign and
how we want to approach it, we need to know the types of companies there are and the services
they offer.
The last section of the note, “Examples of Internet use”, describes some advertising campaigns
that have included the Internet in their media plan. This section is not intended as an exhaustive
sample but presents different ways in which the Internet has been used by companies that
advertise online.
At the end of the note we attach a list of sources of up-to-date information about the Internet.
Although the ideas and concepts set forth in the note are relatively well established, the statistics
are likely to change quite rapidly. Anticipating this eventuality, we indicate public sources from
which the latest figures on Internet marketing can be obtained.
Business Case #7
The Internet Audience
Who is Online?
One of the first questions to be considered when organizing a communication campaign is who
the intended audience is. The larger the population that use a given medium as a source of
information, the more communication options that medium will offer.
The population of Internet users in Spain is around 22.5 million and the population of daily users,
around 12 million. This makes the Internet the sixth most widely used medium.

Analyzing the effects of social media on the hospitality industry
WEB_Media_Poster2 (3)
1. Results derived
from the panel of
experts
The research and data from the Delphi tech-
nique showed that the traditional media in
South Africa are attempting to determine how
to satisfy the needs of the new era of digital
readers. The research showed not only that
traditional media companies need to re-invent
their strategies with regards to the Internet,
but that journalists need to adapt as well in or-
der to create content that will satisfy the needs
of their readership.
The research also revealed that some users
will need to be educated on the uses for Web
2.0 and that design was an important factor
to make the offerings easy to understand and
use. Lastly, the data had no clear indication
on an online payment model that could be
implemented by news organizations in South
Africa. It was suggested that advertisements
be re-invented or that news organizations
should offer a certain amount of free content,
or that they should start expanding into areas
outside of digital content. The perceptions
of the applicability of Web 2.0 applications
in the South African market are positive, and
the data shows that traditional media are try-
ing to implement these applications in order
to enhance the content they provide to their
readership in an attempt to satisfy their digital
needs.
Status of the media
industry in South
Africa
The media industry globally is at a cross-
roads with varying expressions of future pre-
dictions for traditional media. Some predict
the end of traditional media and that newspa-
pers are a dying breed. This is partly due to
the fact that the readership can get up-to-date
and to-the-minute news online, instead of
waiting for a newspaper the next day report-
ing yesterday’s news.
Since the introduction of Web 2.0 technolo-
gies, traditional media organizations have
been striving to find ways to improve their
online content using Web 2.0 technologies.
The literature supports the idea that tradi-
tional media can find a solution in Web 2.0
(Beam 2008, Chapman 2008, Dallow 2007,
Newmark 2006, Wendland 2003, Yaros
2008). However, traditional media is strug-
gling to find an appropriate online model
for the payment of online content, which is
mostly free of charge.
The free online model only relies on the in-
come from advertisements, which makes for
a very unstable and one-sided financial mod-
el (Isaacson 2009). With the help of Web 2.0,
the content that the media industry in South
Africa offer could be enhanced, and result
in the readership becoming more willing to
pay for online news offerings. South Africa
struggles with enough bandwidth supply,
which hinders innovation (McDonald 2008),
and restricts companies to take advantage of
business opportunities. Journalists need to
adapt in order to reach their readers (Pisani
2006). Web 2.0 has changed the way that
readers perceive what journalists write and
also the way they perceive media in general.
It has changed the culture of their readers.
The business model for journalism is not
working anymore and journalists have to
adapt and learn new applications through
which to reach their readership with original
and customized content (Briggs 2008).
This research operated from the principle
that many challenges still exist, but argue
that a portion of the South African market is
ready for the adoption of Web 2.0 technolo-
gies and its application to create custom con-
tent that would increase the online readership
and add value to news content.
Methods employed
to investigate a
solution
The research methodology applied for the
research included firstly a structured online
questionnaire to ascertain public opinion on
the journalistic use of Web 2.0 technologies.
A total of 1 348 respondents completed
the questionnaire. The data collected from
the questionnaire was analysed through
descriptive, inferential statistical analysis.
Secondly the opinions of four South Afri-
can and international news media experts
were obtained by employing the Delphi tech-
nique. Data analysis for the Delphi technique
was done through theme identification and
descriptive data analysis of the qualitative
data.
Limitations have been recognised with re-
gard to the survey. An over-representation
of men, respondents under the age of 35 and
over 50 as well as whites are reflected in the
survey. Furthermore the survey is limited in
it being collected from a niche market source
namely a financial news subscriber list and
data from a general news site will probably
differ from the data collected in the research
sample.

Results derived from the
online questionnaire
From the online survey the preferred news source was
online sources (Figure 1). The online media model is
probably therefore becoming an attractive opportunity.
The trend seen from the survey is supported by Isaacson
(2009). Regardless of a slow decline in newspaper sales,
he states that the media has more readers than ever, on-
line readers. The survey further revealed that newspapers
remain a popular source for news
Online readers indicated the most popular tool to be
search engines, followed by links from online content
(Figure 2). This can be interpreted by news organizations
to start linking their content with other content, adding
value to their information. The results further showed
that the respondents spent more time surfing the internet
than they spent on social media. This creates an op-
portunity for news organizations to make users more
aware of their social media offerings and show them that
the social media contains improved content from what is
provided on their websites.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the survey found
that readers wanted to see more original content and gen-
eral financial information as opposed to social media like
podcasts and video casts (Figure 3). Respondents indica-
ted a reluctance to use Web 2.0 applications and are look-
ing for more original content and financial data. News
organizations should promote the benefits of social me-
dia as original content and need to educate the readership
on the uses of social media and show them that these
offerings are indeed original content. The data showed
that the younger audiences tended to rank social media
applications higher than the older audience. This creates
an opportunity for news organizations to communicate
the importance of their Web 2.0 offerings and the value
it adds to their content. If the readership is educated ap-
propriately about the added value of these applications as
original content, this might satisfy their needs for more
original content too. By offering a better platform for
financial advice and data, financial news organizations
have a better case to start charging for their content, as it
can add value to investors and people that are watching
the stock markets and are trading in shares or foreign ex-
change.

Recommendations and
conclusions
Traditional news organizations in South Africa have
been struggling to satisfy the needs of their readership
on the Internet. The literature revealed that journal-
ists need to adapt in order to satisfy the needs for cus-
tomised and original content of the readership. With
the benefits of Web 2.0 creating a community that can
share and generate content, news organizations need
to tap into this resource to add value for their reader-
ship. According to Thompson, Strickland and Gamble
(2007), if the customers perceive your product as hav-
ing a better value than that of competitors, they are
more likely to return for more. With a higher perceived
value, customers might be more willing to pay for the
content thus a better case can be made for an online
payment model.
There is a shifting paradigm in the skill sets required
of journalists in the digital era to better serve the read-
ership. Training to provide the required skills set need
to be reviewed and developed. Media companies are
losing some of their control on what stories they want
to show their readership because Web 2.0 technologies,
RSS feeds, blogs and wikis empower users to read
only that which they want to read. Media companies
need to come to grips with releasing some control to
the users, who want to be part of the process of creat-
ing and sharing news.
It is concluded that Web 2.0 applications can add
value to the content created by news organizations
and simultaneously enable communication between a
news organization and its readership. By implementing
the technology of Web 2.0, a platform can be created
on which the readership can create their own content
for sharing and distribution, making them part of the
greater online news community. By doing this, the or-
ganization will create enhanced content that will add
value to their readership, and by adding value to their
readership, they can increase the traffic to their web-
site which could assist in the development of an online
payment model.
