All next week I’ll be walking you through the online and on-air media response of both the national and Houston based media. As opposed to most national disasters I actually have a personal connection to this one with my family living in Missouri City, Texas, a Houston suburb. I currently live and work in the Washington DC area.
My perspective and reviews of advanced media efforts in the wake of Hurricane Ike will come from that of someone who does have a personal interest in the coverage but who also works for a major media company trying to make information distribution a more personal experience for the consumer.
There have been some winners, and some losers in the first 24 hours of “wall-to-wall” hurricane coverage and I’ll walk you through both sides. If you don’t already subscribe to my RSS feed, be sure to do so now.
We’ll see how things go this week, but right now my plan is for one to two posts daily. Each focusing on a different media outlet and the things they’re doing right as well as what they should consider improving.
If you have any questions or comments, my comments form is always open and email is a great way to get a hold of me.
