The You Show
Everyone is talking about social media and the Web. Do you have Twitter Account? How do I find your Facebook page? Do you have a website – how can I find information about your service or product?
You see, we’re no longer in a world where we were media consumers. You’re now a media publisher, broadcaster and participant. Of course, that means there are lots of publishers and broadcasters out there. Broadcasting and publishing away.
Which means while we’re all in the big league now, we’re also competing with more people. How do you get your message through new media without being drowned out by everyone else? It’s a confusing new world.
Some people think they’ve got it. While others feel they ‘kinda understand’ but haven’t quite put the pieces of the media puzzle together. They’re still seeking to see what it means for them, their work, family, children and friends.
We’re seeing more change in our media world today than any other generation. And the change is not just related to the obvious issues like the fact anyone can have her own TV, radio station or Web publication. It’s also in the ways we produce content.
The ramifications of this are huge and have deep implications for society. Newspaper circulation is plummeting. TV audiences are migrating online to the Internet. It’s a new media world and it affects anyone who has an interest in society.
Drawing on Global Experience
In this educational program, Jonathan draws on his two decades experience in international media – both in traditional and new media – to show you how these changes are coming together and what they mean for you.
For the past ten years, Jonathan has been working in new media and has had a ring-side seat watching many of these exciting developments taking place with the Internet and Web.
He and his colleagues have influenced these developments too, through their leading edge media training that has been delivered around the world and enabled Web producers and media practitioners to innovate in their fields.
Jonathan has worked with radio, television, newspapers, magazines and newspapers.
He has been writing and speaking on the topic since 1999.
Jonathan isn’t one of the social media evangelists who discovered their calling last week when they learned how to get a Twitter account. He’s been immersed in this world and seen how it has grown.
What Does This Mean for You?
Jonathan’s keynote is ideal for anyone seeking a dynamic, engaging and global keynote about something that matters to everyone.
His workshops will help you and your staff or association members think through what the new media means for them and how they can harness its potential.
