Mastering the New Media Landscape
The world of mass media, in which a few, prime national outlets controlled the messages we all see and hear, has largely vanished. The giant boulders you once had to move to get coverage—Oprah, the New York Times, CNN—have been smashed by the Internet, supplanted (but not entirely replaced) by scores of pebbles: websites, social media, blogs, podcasts, newsletters and more that we call micromedia. This new breed of media is key to effectively reaching your audience.
This book puts you at the controls of creating momentum and building a personal audience. It allows you to take action, rather than wait for the media gatekeepers to unlock their doors or the general public to create the groundswell of “going viral.”
We look past the attention-getting stunts to reveal the solid strategies and tactics that work to position you for success in the changing media landscape.
