7. What’s the real purpose of media?
• To put it bluntly: media only exist as a means of transportation
• To bring messages across
• from advertisers to consumers
• from lobbyists to masses
• from governments to citizens
• from ... to ...
• It is ...
• ... not the advertising filling the space between content
• ... the content (news, entertainment, fun, ...) that is filling the space between intelligently
engineered and smartly crafted messages
• In order to keep this model alive, media HAVE to function top-down, in a highly controlled
world full of gatekeepers
• What if this models breaks down?

19. Microblogging sites
• 140 characters
• Short-form status updates
• Asynchronous model (you
follow me, I don’t follow you)

nonsense to value

compared to e.g. Facebook

way)

41. The new rules for media:
being a destination and being in The Stream
Social Site
SMS Twitter Radio (Facebook) Site, paper, TV E-zine Magazine Site
instant, semi-instant, regularly often (12h) news, 24h news + insights, archive, long-tail
breaking news breaking news breaking what’s insights, 1w reports, 1w/
(important) (important or news happening 1m
not) around you?
• Build GOOD destination sites (because that is • Allow others to share and (re)distribute your
where people eventually will still “land”) headlines (and link them to your own site)
• Get into the stream of your audience: create a • Be open, open, open, ... and have a solution for
social media delivery strategy (a central plan each step in the stream
and decentralized execution: everyone needs to
go social), but remember: it’s about connecting
people to people!
