Course Details

Twitter, Facebook, and other social platforms have turned the web into a one-stop shop for news, entertainment, social, and professional engagement. For those who create content, it is a hyper-connected publishing system. No longer do you need to work for a major publisher like the NY Times or the Globe to get a story out; breaking news is found on Twitter, and journalists use the web to brand and market their work, whether freelance or staffed within an organization. What does this mean for the future of the industry as a whole, where are the opportunities now, and how can you use social media to help you grab them while they're hot?

Topics will include:

- Monetization: new business models for organizations and individuals
- It's a conversation: rules of engagement
- The new ecosystem of content & news

Speakers include:


Matt Alderton (moderator) Nielsen Business Media	Bill Adee Editor of Digital Media Chicago Tribune	Andy Sernovitz Author, Word of Mouth Marketing, CEO GasPedal & The Blog Council	Liz Strauss Social Web Strategist successful-blog.com

More speakers to be announced.

Hosted by:


Marianna Swallow Speaker and Writer, Etiquette B**ch
