home Periodic Table of Social Media Elements Fellow Ad Age Power 150 member Eyecube, aka Rick Liebling put out a periodic table of social media elements: While it’s getting a bit of criticism (yes, social media doesn’t have anything to do with the periodic table of elements), that’s not what it is all about.

Font Generator Digital #storytelling: the next step in digital transformation How do you recognise solid digital journalism? A good web-based story is difficult to consume when you print it out. Recently, I read an interesting post written by Joyce Barnathan, the president of the International Center for Journalists, about her impressions after attending some high-profile journalism conferences. She wrote that being a journalist of the new era is not only about posting photos, tweeting or sharing stories. We’re also redefining the rules of news writing and narrative journalism. I couldn't agree more. However, my second thought was that this has been kind of obvious for a while now, especially since data journalism has been recognized by all mainstream media as an inseparable part of journalism. Yet, I still see many newsrooms and journalists who have struggled with accepting this new era journalism. Why? It leads to a bizarre outcome. An example? So how should it work? Digital storytelling starts with following common sense. The next step is to adjust the format.

Blog — Patricia McMillan In working with leadership teams, I find they’re usually quite ready to embrace the need to tell THE story of the thing they’re doing--the strategy, the proposal, the services they offer. But they’re less comfortable about the idea of telling THEIR stories at work--events from their personal experiences. I think there are several reasons for this. First, the idea might not have occurred to them. They want to communicate something about the strategic plan. Why would an anecdote about their kids be relevant? But telling a short, personal story that’s relevant to your message is one of the most powerful ways you can communicate. 1) Make messages stickNow that science is using MRIs to watch how we think, a number of studies (like one published in Nature recently) have shown that what happens in our brains when we listen to a story is a lot like what would happen if we were experiencing those events ourselves.
