The February installment of The Hobson & Holtz Report includes reports on these stories:

  • Can anyone moderate podcasts the way we expect Facebook and Twitter to moderate content?
  • How communicators can make a difference when IT introduces new software or systems
  • There’s a right way and a wrong way to engage in newsjacking
  • Can “branter” build long-term brand value (and what the hell is it, anyway?)
  • A deep dive into Clubhouse, the hot new audio social networking app

Our FIR recording sessions are now being streamed live, because why not? We already stream it in order to capture a backup recording on YouTube; we’ve just been making these restricted streams. We have decided to make them public so you can watch and comment. Our next recording is Sunday, March 14 at noon ET. You’ll see our pre-recording conversation as well as seeing how the sausage gets made. Watch live here.

We are hosting an FIR Communicators Coffee Break on Zoom each Thursday during the stay-at-home period at 1 p.m. ET. For credentials needed to participate, contact Shel or Neville directly or request the credentials in our Facebook group or send an email to [email protected]. Spread the word to your communications community.

Special thanks to Jay Moonah for the opening and closing music.

You can find the stories from which Shel’s FIR content is selected at Shel’s Link Blog. Neville’s link blog, Outbox, is available, as well.
