Citizen Journalism unplugged, or - indeed - naked


As PR people, we will have to be more agile in story creation and to be satisfied with smaller audiences around niche topics.

We, in essence, must grasp opportunities to create broadcast packages, complete with video and robust storytelling. Use your HD cameras and your writing skills, and make it easy for these news professionals to say "yes." To achieve the same audience reach as a decade ago will require many more placements and more specificity of topics; this is the age of “narrow-casting.”
