I figured since Clifford Krauss’s clumsy attempt on behalf of The New York Times to dig up sources for the Toyota recall back in 2010, journalists would be more comfortable with the medium. With that said, 93 percent of journalists affirmed that they appreciate it when communication professionals follow them on social media.

As part of an effort to get smaller blogs to write about the film, I contacted blog owner, Jamie Bullock, of Project:Women and told her about the film.

In industry media and on PR/marketing blogs like this one, we talk an awful lot about “master brand” social media marketing work. Without a huge agency behind the work, who’s going to write all those scintillating case study posts? However, we don’t talk nearly as much about “employer brands.”

Have you ever wondered what compels people to share content on their social networks? Two social accounts cross in the night , and a re-tweet or Like is born – why is that? Facebook insists it has the answer: write better content. Sufficed to say that as dry as I write, I probably won’t be going viral anytime soon.

Labour’s strongest supporters were forced to join in with the jokes on social media – if only out of hope that laughter will drown out the Kinnockian self-admiration.
