Talking New Media Via Old Media

We all know that new media is the best thing to hit the world since individually wrapped slices of cheese. Social networking is here, it’s here to stay and it continues to captivate droves of people kind of like flip-flops and Pabst Blue Ribbon captivate your typical everyday hipster! While we all entertain each other through endless status updates and Twitter posts, the old media lions, radio, television and newspapers are doing everything they can to remain relevant. Despite saying it wouldn’t last like rockers and pop stars once dismissed hip-hop, old media is now turning to new media to keep the boat afloat. Naturally, when you have new media questions you turn to Dave.

Dave appeared on Virginia’s number one radio show this morning, Richmond’s Morning News with Jimmy Barrett, to talk about Facebook, Twitter and our upcoming New Media Seminar. I know Jimmy, having worked for him over a two-year stretch at Clear Channel Richmond. He’s an old-school guy from Michigan, the former Public Address announcer for one of Major League Baseball’s oldest franchises, the Detroit Tigers, and he’s definitely a man that believes in the power, validity and future of radio. One other thing I know about Jimmy is that he’s sharp! Not much gets past him and the power of social media isn’t something that he has ignored or dismissed. Now he’s a Facebook machine! Knowing that his audience represents one of the largest groups of people flocking to Facebook and Twitter, Jimmy brought Dave onto the show to talk about how they work, what they can do for businesses and why we’re all so wrapped up in our social media communities.
