A Social Media News Release is a format of press release designed specifically for the online media. Some advantages are that the readers are able to receive new releases faster, which is a definite plus when trying to help gain awareness about whoever you are working for. Things online tend to be more direct and honest, because of the lack of face to face interaction. Some disadvantages are that one loses the face to face interaction with another person or any other group of people.  Also that people tend to tip toe around the point when they have to be in front of the person. Or the ability of the other person to hear it can be affected this way because they could simply tune you out. When online they are directly paying attention because they are looking at it in order to read and comprehend it.

I think that a PR Practitioner should consider using a SMNR every time they have a major even that involves a large group of people because it is faster and a much easier way to help gain a much more larger audience. There is a very big advantage to having a larger audience for your client. Popularity is what truly matters when it comes to dealing with people’s interest.

One website that could be used to help someone in PR to make a news release is  http://pressitt.com/. The only other website that I could find was the website that we had to use for this assignment, so the other site that will help one to create a good social media news release is www.prxbuilder.com.

A digital organization created a link for their products and the link to it is http://www.slideshare.net/3wpr/social-media-mnews-release-smnr-presentation

The assignment for my Public Relation class was for us to use some news release that we had created earlier in the year for our clients to create a social media news release. After following the directions given, I was given a link and the link to my own personal oage for my client is http://www.prxbuilder.com/link.aspx?p=1579

The purpose of this social news release is to help the audience gain knowledge of an event that would be taking place that is being backed by my organization as well as, the Music Student Association. This event involved students from the school to see their fellow students’ talents on stage.

Here are some tips for Social Media News Releases that I picked up from a site that is called http://taraparker1.wordpress.com/category/final-smnr-project/

-Figure out your target audience

-Make sure the format is attractive

-Make sure that it is simple and to the point

-Find the value in your story and make it evident to your leaders

-Provide links that lead to further information

-Find the value in your story and make it evident to your leaders

-Like a regular press release, leave out the extra jargon.

-Where does this specific audience look on the web.

-Make sure that all your links work properly

Using these tips should help anyone create their own SMNR and be successful

Kick the Bucket List

The things in my bucket list are just simply things to help me live life ti the fullest before its all said and done. I only have 5 things that I have.. 1. To play in a Major League Baseball game.. 2. To visit at least 5 countries.. 3. Star or Co-Star in a movie.. 4. Sky Dive…And the final thing I want to do is… 5. Restore my own Ford Mustang 1967 shelby fastback… The one thing I want to be remembered for is my unforgettable baseball skills. I want to go down in history as the best player in baseball history. People from generations will know who I am.

Tweeter

This was a very new and interesting experience for me because I wasn’t really a huge fan of the twitter thing, but I see that it is and can be faster than facebook, as far as trying to have conversation with someone without having to IM them. It is also a grea way to reach people, which is a definite plus for people in PR. I think I will keep using this until I reach 1000, because I’d feel more accomplished !! Lol

Becomg Wise

I’m honestly one of those people to open up with people and talk about my feelings or what’s bothering me at the moment so this is a hard situation for me to talk about because there is no one that I lean on for advice. During my life time, it was always after I did something that wasn’t “the right” thing to do, when someone would give me a piece of their knowledge of wisdom about the matter. But the best advice I have ever been told was not to worry about women because I was too young to let the pressure of dealing with women get to me, which was followed by saying, “girls are like buses, if you miss one, in the next 15 one is coming.” That was by FAR the funniest and best advice that I have ever heard, and until the so called “special day” comes when I meet a lady to take my mind of everything else, I’m keeping it in mind !! LMAO

Back In The Day

Well the me now is simlar to the me back then. The only thing that is really different about me no is that there are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more ladies that are around me to talk to. But for the most part I am the same type of person. Although i have grown up mentally, I still see life as a journey, with all types of adventures.. But if I could see myself and tell me something, I would tell me to leave that crap high school that did NOTHING for me as far as helping my future and play baseball for another school and play in the summer time, and not waste time playing madden all day, even though I have become the BEST.. But the point is that if I could do that then I would be rich and famous and in the major leagues.. But I will be anyway, its only a matter of time !!!

Show Your Belly

I think that these shows are doing a little bit of both, as far as harming and helping. Simply because of the fact that not ALL of these girls that are on these shows find their way into the spotlight. Some, if not most, of them are giving their real life situations daily when it comes to being a teen mom and their lives don’t change just because they appear on a T.V show. I personally think that the shows in general are completely pointless because unfortunately, this type of situation isn’t something brand new to the viewing public. But I do think that the shows should show more of the “other side” of the lives of the young women in these shows. The responsibility also lies on the parents as well to kind of use those shows as an example of what not to do because most of these kids that are on these shows aren’t really ready mentally for the responsibility of taking care of a child.. I’m not trying to deal with that headache and I’m 21 !!
