At various locations in recent months I’ve been stalking online experts with my trusty Flip and asking them one question: How has social media impacted on The Media?
And here, in this short video, is what they said. Many thanks to Mercedes Bunz, Christian Payne, John Popham, Laura Oliver and Paul Bradshaw.

That Flip does output pretty good quality video.
Social media has opened up great opportunities for everyone from big media organisations to the man on the street, the most vital point being that it gives anyone a voice, cheaply and quickly.
On the downside it doesn’t guarantee truth or honesty and it does create more noise that needs to be filtered.
But on the whole, it is a force for good, tapping into what the web and digital media does best, connecting people and bypassing barriers to communicating that existed before the digital age.
