@sylentalarm that depends on laziness/resources of news orgs. SocMed has potential to make journalism far better than it is #ucfsocialmedia

@AdamWestbrook some wise words, and using social media to break young journo’s tech fears as a bridge to hacking is vital #ucfsocialmedia

…that is a big advantage to younger journs who embrace it and understand it – to leapfrog those with more experience! #ucfsocialmedia

Yes there are many who are resistant to the tech side, or still see it as a fad. Others still don’t know how to use it #ucfsocialmedia

@UCFsocialmedia I thought the Twitter conversation was really good and certainly got a good debate going. Well done with your presentation!!
(do you see what I did there: 140 characters exactly!)
Well done Lucy! 140 and no more! May twitter simplify the way we communicate??
We tried to attract social media enthusiasts and media professional to our conversation, for it was based on social media and its repercussion on the trade. I think they brought the whole conversation to another level! Many thanks Lucy!
I think the twitter conversation was a fantastic idea, at the time I was slightly worried for you that everyone was perhaps more engaged in twitter than they were on listening to exactly what you guys had to say. I thought you had some fantastic points and a really interesting presentation so I certainly hope this wasn’t the case.
But on the other hand, using people who are in the industry and have some different opinions on certain topics, and also fantastic knowledge was a fantastic idea and it really added a different dimension to your presentation that I don’t think the others (including ours) had. So well done guys!
Glad you liked it Lucy (and also James as he expressed in another comment) and good job on the 140 characters!
I was really happy we managed to get such a good response on Twitter. It was great to have the opinions of those in the industry and guidance of how to use social media to enhance our journalism.
It was also a bit of an experiment, and I think showed just how powerful social media is for connecting you with people you’d not normally come in contact with (whilst @katycreates had agreed to tweet prior to the presentation, the other journalists were messaged that morning).
Maybe it was lucky that those we asked to join were keen to reply? Or maybe social media really is allowing us to get in contact with everybody?
[…] as you will see from the twitter conversation itself, their pearls of wisdom gave us a lot to think about. I also think the exercise demonstrated […]
