When I started this blog it was the most readily accessible technology that enabled dialogue on specific issues, but now it pales in comparison to the more robust interaction you find on fb or twitter.benharrisroxashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04142482593832825546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16631859.post-84091778707223037372010-02-18T12:30:01.541+11:002010-02-18T12:30:01.541+11:00All useful points, and I agree entirely re: not th...All useful points, and I agree entirely re: not throwing the traditional media baby out with the bathwater. Two other points to keep in mind: first, media forms change quickly - even social media. For example, blogs have become increasingly used (at least in organizations) as broadcast tools, not so much as tools for conversation or dialogue. Second, health communicators should look at being innovators in social media use. Don't wait to see what happens but forge new strategies and create new communication opportunities. Take risks but constantly evaluate and assess.Josh Greenbergnoreply@blogger.com
