I have written numerous blog posts of how public relations professionals can use social media in their profession as well as in the classroom. From implementing a Facebook page to the free Internet phone service Skype – each has their benefits and unique features.
Skype has been wonderful in bringing in leading researchers and scholars in the classroom for my students in Public Relations. However, there are other ways that professionals can use Skype in their business and profession – like conducting televised interviews on specific subjects.
My Skype interview on Social media
I had the privledge of being on Matt Bise‘s show Port City Live this past week talking about the risks and benefits of social networking. I first talked to Matt via email when he asked me about Skype after seeing my blog post on how to use Skype to bring in guest speakers into the classroom (here is the link to my blog post about having Dr. John Cacioppo come via Skype to my class last year).
I was very excited and honored to be on Matt’s show – this was the first time that I used Skype to be interviewed, and it was a wonderful experience for me. Kristin helped me pick out an appropriate interview outfit and setting up my lighting in my apartment for the interview. It was absolutely great! 🙂 I got a chance to talk about some of the challenges and opportunities that are out there in using social networking sites, and how people can be proactive in managing their reputation by setting up their own personal blog, web site, and having a balanced presence on all of these social networking sites. Here is the link to the interview that I did for Matt Bise‘s show Port City Live.
I would like to thank Matt Bise for inviting me to his show and everyone at WLCNTV. Thank you very much again for this wonderful opportunity! 🙂 Hope you all are having a great day! 🙂
Best Wishes,
Karen
