⊡ Your fans are actual humans
⊡ Speak to them like humans
⊡ You can’t reach them all
□ That has to be ok
128. PERSONAS
Who are your users and why are they using social
media? What are their behaviors, assumptions, and
expectations?
Look for characteristics that are specific, relevant,
and universal.
More resources at usability.gov
129. “
An effective social media
campaign is based on the
psychology of social behaviors,
not current technology.
Pamela Rutledge, MPR Center

170. “Imagine if Woodward and
Bernstein had access to this kind of
data and they said, ‘I’m sorry, this
break-in is not really trending.’”
-Lou Ferrara, the vice president and managing
editor of the Associated Press, quoted in
Columbia Journalism Review
171.
172. “[N]ews organizations are adopting utilitarian, defensive, and
fundamentally conservative relationships to audiences –
continuing to seek freedom from readers. When news
organizations do use social media to meet audiences, it is to
increase online traffic, source information more efficiently, and
stay on top of technological trends. Staff are warned against
using social media in ways that conflict with organizational
priorities, reveal the details of internal news work, rely upon
social media privacy protections, or upend norms of objectivity.”
-Mike Ananny, USC, “Networked Press Freedom and Social
Media,” Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, 2014
173.

176. “I think social will continue to grow and homepage traffic will
continue to fall by proportion…. I suspect the future will see us
all access a highly personalized stream of content created in
response to our interests, and that it will be decided by us
setting preferences, by people with social communities, and by
smart technology. But I also think there will always be an
appetite for editorial judgment used to flag up and order the
major news stories of the day.”
- Sarah Marshall, social media editor, The Wall Street Journal
186. “These are very, very rare events. Almost always people are getting
information directly from popular sources and they don’t pass it
along…. So if I have somebody who I think is going to read my story,
maybe they can persuade their friends to read the story. But their
friends are probably not going to be able to persuade their friends.
Having your mental model be ‘All I care about is that one-degree
neighborhood’ simplifies one’s view of the world, as opposed to just
trying to think of these long chains.”
-Sharad Goel, Stanford University
190. “I'd say, on the contrary, virality happens all the time. It's just easy to miss if you have a
hit-driven/synchronized audience mentality. Everyone got how viral ‘Gangnam Style’
was, but if you go to any 17 year old and give them a list of a dozen or so recent viral
phenomena – from Scumbag Steve to 'Bae caught me slippin' to Dogecoin – most will
recognize half the elements on the list. And many will recognize all of them, despite
those things never having made the evening news.
The problem with the way people in traditional media organizations view viral content
is that it is supposed to do the job of amassing large, stable audiences – the effect they
are most missing from the olds days – when a moment's reflection would show them
why it can't: attention is an arms race. If there are more people who can not just
produce content but distribute it (and there are, by 10,000 times) then breakthrough
virality will be rare and rapidly decaying, while 99% of virality is just the new
background, ubiquitous but not unusual.”
-Clay Shirky, New York University
191. “Where the numbers go next is harder to say. Social traffic
patterns are still volatile. Meanwhile, Twitter is still more of an
engagement play than a traffic play, and both Facebook and
Twitter are still evolving their algorithms and business models.
There’s no doubt social content consumption is here to stay. But
news organizations need to stay hyper-aware of how both the
social platforms and their own sites’ traffic trends are continuing
to change.”
-Patrick Cooper, NPR’s Director of Web and Engagement
197. Concept:
Ask members of the HKS community to take
a photo or video of themselves holding this
card/printout in a setting that helps convey
the work they are doing — in the field, in
their workplace, in the thick of it — and then
send it to us with a brief caption.
youarehere@hks.harvard.edu
198. You Are Here Opportunities:
Connectivity
HKS community is
global community
and a tight
community of
people dedicated
to carrying forth
the Kennedy
School mission of
public service with
passion and
commitment.
Content
Opportunity for
content to come to
us.
Your story is our
story — help us tell
it.
Creativity
We have a chance
to play around with
this idea.
