This post speaks to the heart of what I do every day. It's an exciting time for communicators, as new platforms develop, and as new faculty come on board already aware of the benefits of social media (and some already engaged).

A key difficulty for higher ed pr folks is that creating high quality content means putting demands on faculty time, faculty who are often already overburdened with teaching, research and academic administration/bureaucracy. I'm not sure that there are any easy ways around that. And, of course, many colleges and universities have been telling these stories for years in alumni magazines and online newsrooms. Thanks.

I especially like the idea of translating this work into narrative forms that can include, perhaps, the strengths of both worlds: narrative approachability, context, and intellectual dialogue with what's come before included. Good thoughts.
