General overviewThe list of social media tools

could probably run on for paragraphs, and today’s technology changes so rapidly that many industries, including corporations and news media, can barely keep up. In the traditional world, newspapers, corporations, governments, or other types of leading organizations simply had to give out information, and people would consume it by reading or looking at it. But this seemingly tried-and-true method has started to transform.

Social Media Literature Review

Media industry publications and critics often mention a media shift from traditional outlets, like newspapers and magazines, to digital news sources.

“Social media is one of the best ways to get traction with the mobile market. Far more people have crappy cell phones than computers. This allows journalists to reach lower and even middle-income communities and minorities that news organizations have been overlooking.

 Concluding Thoughts on the "Social Media Revolution"

* social media has brought to light three fundamental areas within journalism .

- The public’s trust of the media

- The importance of local news organizations and their likelihood to remain in print

- And the manner in which news is and will be covered using social media

Social media tools like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube offer skeptical audiences the chance to receive news straight from the witnesses.

Different Strokes: social media is not equally social or mediated globally. Chinese bloggers for example hardly ever hyper-link, Russians link obsessively – so blogs will have different network effects.

Types of Communication Medium

The different types of communication medium into two different categories:-

1. Physical media

2. Mechanical media (everything that is not No. 1)

* Physical media :-

With physical media we mean channels where the person who is talking can be seen and heard by the audience

Such as example Large meetings, town hall meetings Department meetings (weekly meetings) Up close and personal (exclusive meetings) Video conferences Viral communication or word of mouth audience

* Mechanical media

The two types of communication medium is mechanical media. With mechanical media we mean written or electronic channels. These channels can be used as archives for messages or for giving the big picture and a deeper knowledge

Push or Pull

The different types of communication medium

Push channels are channels where the sender is pushing the message to the receiver. Meaning it is up to the sender to control the communication.

E-mail News letters and letters (if sent out) Magazines (if sent out) Meetings Telephone Sms

Pull channels on the other hand is when the receiver is pulling the message from the sender. It is up to the receiver when he or she wants to take in the message.

Intranet Billboards New letters and letters (if not sent out) Magazines (if not sent out) Social media

The ambition Stairway

Choosing the right types of communication medium is first and most about understanding your ambition with the communication. What effect is you looking for after you have communicated? Increased knowledge, better understanding more motivation or involvement, or do you want it to lead to some sort of action or changed behavior?

The Arab Media Revolution

From the early days of state-funded, heavily censored television to today's explosion of multichannel satellite TV, the Middle East has been an ideological minefield in a war of information. Jamal Dajani, producer of the daily online Arab news digest, Mosaic, charts the changes in the Arab media landscape and recalls how Al Jazeera helped start a media revolution that is still unfolding.

Impact of social business

New Media 1740-1915

A continuing interest of mine is the interaction between us, our culture and the media that articulates and perpetuates that culture. The storage themes are obvious. Without storage, culture expression is forever ephemeral.

Most “new media” fail, as this collection of essays reminds us. Where is the optical telegraph, the zoetrope, the stereoscope, or even the electric telegraph? Today we invent new media at a furious pace, thanks to the confluence of broadband internet, personal computers, easy-to-use software and very cheap data storage.

Impact of mobiles in Africa Harry Dugmore, professor at Rhodes

University, Grahamstown, South Africa. He spoke about how the massive uptake of mobiles Africa had led some to hope the technology would help democracy flourish.

The technological environment in Africa has evolved, starting off with mobiles with small screens, slow speeds and sky-high subscriptions. This was still the situation in many places, with only one of every 100 phones in Africa being an iPhone.

The result was a focus on SMS services to keep people inform and in touch.

Mobile technology is moving towards better speeds, more competition and more powerful phones, said Dugmore. But costs are still high and net access can be intermittent.

Some of the biggest changes,, have been the provision of free access to Facebook and Wikipedia on mobiles.  Facebook zero means anyone can access Facebook on a mobile, even if they don’t have any credit.

Media relationship with each other

The age of participation

The Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 57% of American teenagers create content for the internet—from text to pictures, music and video .

The mainstream media are in a good position to get things wrong.” The observer, after all, is part of the observation—a product of institutional media values even if he/she tries to apply the new rules of conversation.

The media revolution of 1448, the wider implications for society will become visible gradually over a period of decades. With participatory media, the boundaries between audiences and creators become blurred and often invisible .
